You got me there but I know when heat is brought into the equation it changes the resistance. I am too tired right now to remember the equations for heat related resistance changes. Rick

I don't exactly know what the load test setting is on your meter. You need a normal VOM and you need to check everything using the engine block as the ground. You should have 24 volts at the buss bar side of the starter cable. You just said it was hot but gave no voltage. Then you said you are...

It sounds to me like you have the cables on the batteries wrong or hooked to the bus bars wrong if you are getting 12 volts at the starter. The meter will show 0 if you are putting 12 volts to it. Make sure your batteries are in series and not parallel. Then make sure you are connected to the...

Just about 90 days on my first. Rick

The 1028 will have a 205 gear drive transfer case where the 1008 has a 208 chain drive. Rick

Keep in mind that the wiring is different from the civvie model. It sounds like someone set it up to use the switch as a theft deterrent. Rick

John, PM me your phone number, that might make things easier to arrange. Rick

Well I could take a look, if it starts and somewhat stops I could put it at my house for a couple of weeks. There are a couple of heavy wrecker services around here but I doubt they are cheap. Flynn's towing and Risoldis come to mind right off. See if they will let me in to check and see if it...

Does it run? I live right around the corner. Rick

JACKPOT!!!!!!:shock: Rick

Leave it on automatic and it will go up as it senses the battery can handle it. The pop may also have been the glow plug controller under the dash. As voltage goes down amperage goes up and you may have popped a resister. Rick

I sent a reply earlier and I don't see it so I may have been deleted but I will try again just to be sure. I am not a busybody, I have plenty to keep me busy. I only tried to explain why the comments were made, I did not make the comments. I have no problem with the trade that was offered, I...

As a former rigger I was looking at those worn and kinked cables and very questionable rigging practices. No counterweights or blocking for the tracks. You guys were very luck to have survived!:mrgreen: BUT it all worked out. Thanks for the pictures.

You did not get into trouble, We were questioning the timing of your posts. You offered it to one member but then offered it to someone else but you did not even have it yet. This was not a big deal, still isn't. The member that originally pointed it out is a long standing and well respected...

Nice guys, You know there are some of us who are on all of the main sites. I did not slam you over there, just pointed out some discrepancies. We still do not know if Dozenjeeps actually owns the TOW equipment or if he is selling it before he buys it. There is not a darn thing wrong with the 503...

I don't know exactly where the governor is set on these engines but it is probably around 2200 rpm. That is why you have the frequency gauge to tell you when you are at the right speed. Frequency is a product of rpm so when you are at 60 hertz you can be sure you are at 1800 rpm. At least on a...

Full rpm puts you out of range on the high side. Mine is also right on 60 hertz at around half throttle. Rick

I could take that picture every day in my town. The thing is They never stop anybody, just sit there and every one of them is on a cell phone! Rick

I was not aware that what he was looking at were Internationals although the DT would suggest that. Rick

If your old bus is a shorty then it is most likely a DT444, The same 7.3 as in Ford pickups. You say the new one is a transit bus? Is it rear engine? If so I am not sure they used the DT's in a rear engine. The pushers were mostly Detroits. Then again, I am not a bus expert.:???: Brake line rot...
