That's a different type of sensor, where the temperature coefficient is allowed to affect the resistance (either higher resistance with higher temerature, called positive temperature coefficient [PTC] - or lower resistance with higher temperature, called negative coefficient [NTC]). There are...

No. Thermocuples are not resistance type, they are voltage GENERATORS. The "type" of thermocouple is the combination of the two types of metal each leg of the thermocouple is made of when these two dissimilar metals are welded together (usually with a carbon rod), they create a thermocouple...

I'm going to do all the cooling system work at once so I only have to drain the coolant once. Bunch of parts ordered last night, radiator, heater core, cold-advance switch, glow plug sensor (NOT the civilian switch), hoses, water pump, thermostat, gasket kit... I should get the parts for the...

Parts for the 27MT are getting a bit harder to find as it seems Delco has replaced the 27MT with the 28MT in all applications, none of my sources had any parts for them (brushes, etc...). That was key to my decision to move to 28MT. In addition to checking out your starter, I didn't see a reply...

Class-3 leak on the driver's side radiator core today, figured it wouldn't be long before this popped up.

Didn't hear the chirp you were talking about - was it at the end of the last crank? If so that kind of sounded like the starter bendix skipping on the flywheel.

I realize I should also caveat, that it won't make enough of a difference having a ground rod near the generator if it is directly struck by lightning - anything attached to the generator's electrical system will be cooked. For true lightning protection, you want to look at installing a...

*Sigh* that's what I thought. Right, so the Kascar wire harness is intended as an electrical ground return path to either supplement or replace the factory ground harness. The Kascar harness is underdsigned if it goes to the devices you say it does - that's my warning. You can duplicate it...

Tapatalk issue - I've seen this in other threads over the last two weeks also...

Neutral is bonded to ground in one place only on an NEC compliant residential/commercial electrical system. This single bond is to ensure that any faults will clear when either the current from line-to-neutral via ground is too high in a non-GFCI circuit (overcurrent), or by ground fault...

Just a little work he says... [thumbzup]

"RF bonding" bonding? Should be a wide/flat strap if so.

The sequence also gives me time to find the things that need to be fixed - I have worked on a few rushed restorations with other people (classic cars) and have been disappointed with the outcome. Some things deep in a vehicle you need to find before you spend the effort getting it pretty and...

EEEKK!!! That needs to be MUCH larger than 12Ga/10Ga. The generator (alternator, 100Amps), and starter (up to 1500Amps) will ground through the engine, but steel has about 10% the conductivity of copper (and power has to jump through gaskets and bolts). From the negative post of the low 12V...

How many ground/return Amps are you trying to carry?

Indeed, what emeralcove said - it's not going to be easy, but it's worth it to get it right. Since this truck is a daily driver, I'm going through the things that bother me the most as I repair wear and service items. Starts with getting it road legal (lights/wipers working, registration...

Bought few nick-knacks, door pin bushings, new striker bolts and bushings, and some lock knob-pulls. Tired of chewing up my fingers on locking the door on the way out. I priced out the balance of the gaskets and window runner parts ($$:shock:$$). May have to split that buy in two. All of...

I think the intention behind hozilla was to imagine themselves picking up loose women in a big truck (kind of like a "God's gift to women" thing, only much, much stupider...) - but it's more funny to look at the urban dictionary definition (especially definition #2): Hozilla. :beer:

To clarify for new readers, image in post #6 is correct, image in post #7 with what was included with the harness is incorrect. :beer: Imaged another way:
