Any good grease but moly. It turns to mush when mixed with even a tiny bit of gear oil, and I guarantee oil will leak a bit. DDG

Most 240V loads will do OK on 208V. Certain motors will draw more current at that voltage. I have been running HVAC units designed for 230V on 208V for years with no problems. Just take two legs & neutral off the genset, and be happy with about 75% of rated output. DDG

Corrected, thanks. DG

Yep. PM me with your mailing addy. DG

Unless you are in Europe, 416 V is an odd value. If you adjust the regulator, you should get the standard 277/480V output with the 416V setup. DDG.

I have an original TM for just the bridge body. If you intend on getting one for the truck, PM me and you can have it. DDG

Pretty neat how the firing button is protected by a trailer receptical cover... DG

Yes, I am. DG

Flip 'em. You won't regret it. Run the singles as on the M34. They did use different wheels all around, with the center pushed in a couple inches. Not too hard to find. Pushing all those studs out & back in will be a chore. A press is a handy thing. Good excuse to repack your wheel...

Perhaps someone tried to bar over that engine when the oil pump was frozen? DDG

For G744 series trucks: Long story short, one can't stop the winch with the in/out lever out front, only by the driver using the clutch. When the winch is turning there is so much pressure on the gears you can't move the lever. Winching is best a two person job. One in the truck, one on the...

Those have hi & lo beam, ground thru the housing bolt. They work in conjunction with a special dimmer switch. DDG

Just a note: For those stuck in states that have attainment (smog tests) and your multifuel won't pass, run it on straight regular gas and it will.

67 and still wrestling military lock-ring wheels. DDG

Yep, that unit had water in it for some time, and also suffered from electrolysis. New switch time. DG

Gotta love OTA TV. We get over 55 channels outside Phoenix for free. DDG

DIY repair at it's best. Kudos. DDG

The stock engine in the 800- series trucks is a Cummins 250, a naturally aspirated Diesel. Real tough, not real powerful compared to a turboed sibling (but more poop than a Multifuel). DG

Looks to me your tach is stiff, that is what wore out the drive tang on the cable. You should replace the inner and the tach as well. DDG

Disconnect the drive cable and pull the internal wire. It will look like a speedo cable. Iit has any broken strands or rough spots, replace it. If it looks OK, lube it according to the TM. If it still bounces, replace the tach head. DDG
