I've had good luck with that blue stuff in Diesels by Mercedes, Ford, and Detroit. Seems contact with dry air causes it to coagulate and seal up. Kinda' like humans do when cut...

The expensive blue leak sealer.

If this is an IQ test, you may be failing it.:unsure:

Hard to beat the "20,000" lb on a 5-ton, tho...

I never tried the dishwashing stuff, it might be just fine. Pine-Sol turns white in water, and get really grey in the first run. One can tell when very little oil is left when it comes out white.

As a note to your working on this, a pint of Pine-Sol and water fill makes easy work out of removing all the oil from a cooling system. Run it up to thermostat temp, then drain. I usually flush it out 4 times, and refill with new coolant/h2o mix.

Looks to be a much better performer than HF or other econo winches. You get what you pay for...

This might explain the pricey-ness of them: http://dpwinch.com/

Anyone with a 1-1/2 trailer needs a Highlift jack. That and working trailer handbrakes make the solo job bunches easier.

Looks to have the same gear case and overall confirmation as the Harbor Freight 12,000's. I have several of them, and they do have niggling problems: 1..The onboard control relay will fail prematurely. 2..The remote control switches will fail as well. 3..The drum brake can not hold back a load...

Well, I'm lucky just to find any good trailers with landing gear remaining...

You had me LMAO at "Sticky fingered nosepickers"...

Now you know why the acquisition cost to Uncle Sam is so high on milspec gear. Otherwise they'd be using Harbor Freight gensets...

The original Braden winch install on a 715 was pretty lame, too. The extended bumper caught many a knee in a painful embrace...

Whatca' gonna' do with that funky winch install? If it is a 12-V job it won't play nice with the 24-V system...

He pays for the gas...

Kinda' reminds one of that old joke, "He works all day at the gas station pumping Ethel".

A true unicorn...

Yep, the ENDT-673 is a pricey motor, but it will run a good long time if you leave the governor alone and keep oil & water in it. My old M54A1 came to me back in the early 90's from a DRMO sale with some 22K on the clock. I've put another 25K on since, with no major work on the engine other...

Hen's tooth motor... Only seen 2 in my half-century of MV's. Both were in 8X8's.
