    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Took advantage of some sunshine today to clean and paint things while I've got it apart for head gaskets. I've got a broken air plenum stud so I'm soaking it with PB blast and giving it plenty of time to work. I tried this high temp Forest Green but think I'll go ahead and paint the valve...

    Used it to pick up a 2 ton gantry from a local metal shop that didn't need it. The gantry will be used in general maintenance of truck but also when I pull the bed to strip and paint the frame thi s summer

    Connecting autostart controllers 802A / 803A and 831A

    was reading through the -24 manual this morning and saw this on 1-18. The cranking motor then cranks the engine. As the engine accelerates to approximately 900 rpm, the magnetic pickup, which senses engine speed, causes the crank disconnect switch to break the circuit to the coil of the...

    It's actually a set for an airplane but works well. Got it off the EBay for -$100 total. You have to watch for a good deal. Flightcom Nighthawk

    Connecting autostart controllers 802A / 803A and 831A

    if we can get it working on either platform, we should be able to duplicate it on the other. Speaking about both 803/831 and wink/smartthings.

    Connecting autostart controllers 802A / 803A and 831A

    I'm not much ahead of you but I happen to work on computers for a living so I've got programmer friends to help us out. Side note: I just moved from Wink to SmartThings because Wink's API isn't great and because it seems that SmartThings has a broader developer user base. Truth be told, I like...

    Connecting autostart controllers 802A / 803A and 831A

    It's something I've been thinking of doing as well with my 803. I'd be game to collaborate, though I haven't done this before. I could possibly help with writing a Device Handler to tie it's status into SmartThings.

    Anyone have a SEE in western washington?

    I'd like to see one in person and discuss its backhoe to see if it'd be enough for my needs. I've got a sub-compact tractor with a small loader, but I need something just a bit bigger and wondering if I can feed my green addiction and get something useful too. I'd basically use it around my...

    Thinking about building a mold for a turret cover ?

    You could maybe take a different route, make a CAD of the mold and sell the CAD file for folks to make their own. It'd pay for some of your costs developing it but keep you out of the shipping game. You could even break the CAD into parts small enough to print on a 3d printer. Most folks...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Finally did the FDC bypass and found a I had a loose fitting on the turbo for the manifold heater that was causing me to lose some boost. , ( I think?) . The truck is running much better now, I can actually keep up with traffic in my area. A question about the FDC bypass, what are folk using...
