    Oil in air tank

    I drained my air tank when I got home from work today and when I walked out to close the valve I noticed a small puddle of oil under the tank. Anybody have any suggestions on what may cause oil to enter the air system? Thanks.

    Finished my winch install

    I finally finished the install of the winch onto my truck. It took about 8 hrs over 3 days and I got the cable on last night. The PTO was the hardest thing to install. And it works great. Here are some pics. They aren't step by step cause I got to excited after the first few steps to take more pics.

    M1009 starter/electrical issues

    Ok, so here's the deal. A mechanic replaced what I am pretty sure was a 24 volt starter with a 12 volt starter but left the system 24 volts. Would that fry some other circuits or prvent the batterys from charging. or on the flip side he says it is a 12 volt system that had a 24 volt starter...
