I stopped at 40%, as I recall. Lots of smoke and starting was getting hard. But about 10% sure made the 6.2 run smooth.

Visibility in a SEE as delivered does leave a little to be desired, but a back-up camera? I removed the spare, which helps a lot with rearward visibility. On the driver's side, a large (6-7-inch) spot mirror below the regular one allows me to see the left rear tire, and more. Did the spot...

With the highly publicized onset of global warming, I wasn't going to use any anti-gel this winter. But I may have to rethink that. It's supposed to be 10 degrees tonight.

I put two Optima Group 31s in the Winter SEE. Lots of room left over, and could get rid of the slider setup since it's no longer needed. If you have the patience to look for them, there are photos on the "owners thread", from about two years ago.

So true. Two days ago I solved a starting issue by finally admitting defeat and replacing a battery that load tested just fine. Last spring, three out of four load tested fine in another vehicle, but it wasn't until replacing them with two new batteries that it fired right up. Neither one was a...

Bad choice of words there, considering the subject matter of this thread, Ron. Anyway, yes, Ron is also a Ron.

Hmm, I think I knew her.

Wow. All this advice has made me consider taking the key out of the ignition. If so, it'll probably go on top of the visor.

Ouch! That's harsh, Ron. Almost as if you longer like her.

Welcome, Jon! You may want to be more precise (at least when dealing with me). If "no electrical system is working" I wouldn't expect a SEE to start, let alone activate the tool circuit. And now that you got me going; there won't be any current showing on a Volt meter. It'll take an Amp meter...

Hmm. Wonder if I can sell my M1031 3.25 years ago this way?

Maybe not, which is what making one from an NPT Tee and three barbed brass fittings is more appealing to me. You can always machine, or even file, down a fitting to a slightly smaller diameter.

Today's SEE "work" was something they're undeniably really good for: compaction. This also presented the opportunity to finally lube the backhoe, and after an hour I'm still fighting one Zerk that won't take grease. Two I did get to cooperate, but this last one (at the bottom of the boom) is...

Those Tees look like something available in the "Help" section of most auto parts store. If not (actually, regardless), I would use a brass Tee and three barbed fittings if I needed one.

That sure sounds like a restriction somewhere in the system to me. Or, like Speedwoble suggested, the tool circuit is on, but without the high idle function. I'd think that you should be able to hear the fluid fighting to get through somewhere.

Looks like you raided my garage.

It really shouldn't matter what condition the springs are in. Once the axle hits the bump stop, the tires take up the same space whether they came from 0.5 or eight inches below.

Today's SEE related festivities were to modify a very neglected ditch. It only required two cleansings of the strainer, which for whatever reason now clogs the screen rather than ending up at the bottom of the cup. Must be getting down the finer crap in the tank. In the photo, I'm letting the...

Have 255/85R16s on aftermarket wheels (with correct offset) on the M1008, and they don't rub even with tire chains. And if they did, it'd be self clearancing.

I have yet to see a lift kit that enlarges a wheel well. It takes minor trimming to make 35s fit, and it's easy enough to paint the edges afterwards. Unless you point it out, 99% of vehicle enthusiasts will never notice that you cut the edges.
