If you do have 2 24volt batteries I would try to take good care of them. There is a way you can charge them with 2 regular car batteries and chargers but you have to be very careful. You need to start with 2 fully charged 12v car batteries. Hook them up in series the + of one battery to the - of...

If I were going to do this kind of swap on a truck I owned I would just take the starter off and take it into Fleet Pride or another large truck parts store and see if they can match it up. Just guessing but I think that if you start by getting a starter that works with the type of bell housing...

I have a truck that came with a convoy light. They just ran a wire to the battery to get power.

Drain at the end of every day, It’s very important to remember to close off the valves after the tanks are empty. If you leave the valves open after the tanks are empty more moisture will get in. Also don’t forget to let the accumulated moisture out through the bleeder valves before you let the...

Air shift is nice. It works when you wan't it. Turns off when you don't.

The Cummins I have all I do is turn just the glow plug on for at least 30 seconds. Then turn on the main power. THEN pump the hand fuel primer till it gets to around 60 - 80. Then crank it while pumping one last pump. It starts every time. The Multifuel in the Deuce has a separate fuel pump...

Some of the newer high end AG equipment does come with GPS and satellite units installed from the factory. Helps keep track of the amount of "fertilizer" and stuff they use or something like that.

There is a trap door on the driver’s side under the fender on the inside of the front tire. It has a couple of thumbscrews holding it on. You can take it off reach in and "reset" the emergency shutoff valve without climbing the truck to open the hood and resetting it from the top. I found this...

Good point, if it is on a hill it might not even need to be bumped to start.

In a pinch you can always try belt dressing. You should be able to get it in a sprey can at any good auto parts store. It will also give you some time to make sure its just the belt.

Your best bet is to leave it in gear at the end of the day. Put the transfercase in low and then put it in 1st gear. If you are on a hill you should also turn the wheel into a curb and block the rear tires. You can come out a few hrs later and put the parking brake on. If you let it cool before...

I would probably lock it up in my back yard put a lien on it and tell them they can come get it after I get my money from the bounced pay check + $10.00 per day storage fees. But I am kinda crazy like that...

I drive a truck, I own it. Things are that slow right now. I am home now because all the freight I have got recently has paid less than the cost of fuel to haul it. The major carriers seem to be competing with themselves because they keep booking freight for less than they can haul it for. The...

Could there be ice? I might try starting the truck and letting it warm up for up to an hour or so to see if there might be moisture that froze something. The heat from the engine should melt it if that is the problem.

Here in TX you can watch them enter the info. They give you your reg papers and plate. They tell you to make sure everything is ok before you leave. If it is wrong they just pull it back up on their computer and fix it. Of course by that time you already have everyone’s supervisors supervisor...

I need a passenger side fender and step if you still have them.

I would turn up the low rpm fuel and down thi high rpm fuel. It will give you more torque and make the truck seem alot faster and you probably won't throw a rod on the freeway.

I was looking at the new Allison 6 spd double overdrive trans. If I remember the final overdrive is .61 I think it would give about 2000 rpm at around 55 with 11r20 tires. It would be nice but when I was looking at them they were around $6,000.00 - $8,000.00. If you just happened to have one...

I think the LDT is a sae type 3 bellhousing or something like that. If the transmition is the same It might be worth a shot. I was thinking of doing a swap to get the faster overdrive of the new 6 speed auto. I did the math and decided it wouldn't be worth the cost and effort. It would still be...

When I sent my first one in they wouldn't take it without a land line in my name. They said it was for verification of ID. I have heard of people being rejected who put cell phone numbers. The reason they got for the rejection was that Battle Creak was unable to verify their identity. If I found...
