I have noticed when several GPs burn out the wait light seems to stay on longer. I replace all of them when I first buy a truck and test the old ones and keep the good ones. As the wait light stays on longer if you have had the truck a while you have an idea in different temps how long they...

HEMTT rims have less backspacing making them stick out further it depends on the stance you want for your truck if you want a wider stance use the HEMTT wheels.

Its the freight company thats dropping the ball S3 is just a broker I only had one problem and it was the freight company who caused it I ship probably a hundred shipments a year through them if you have problems with them Mike isnt the person to get it straightened out. Email Joyce bates at...

Yes keep the large power wire connected as is you can run a hot lead from the plastic junction block on the firewall just above and to the left of the solenoid

When you set up a manual system the first thing you do is take the card out I dont use the original wires either. Run one wire from one of the small terminals to the power source then run the wire from the remaining small terminal to your push button. Set up this way when you push the button you...

I believe there is a write up with pics in the recources here I converted two or three and they worked perfect. I think it was called the Roscommon 12 volt conversion theres color pics so wire colors are easy to decipher and it goes step by step. Maybe if you saw how they did theirs you can...

I put a block heater in the 1008 I put the 6.5 in I never got the chance to use it the truck went to michigan after I put the 4 inch lift on it finishing it up. I also put the heater in it while the engine was on a stand I dont look forward to getting a face full of anti freeze punching out a...

As with most diesels lugging the engine will drastically shorten its life better to be on a high end of one gear than to low end for the other. I was taught no lugging them down,easy on the fuel on cold starts and cool them down before shut down I have logged many miles and years running diesels...

I dont like the stock GP system I change them to push button when I buy a truck after the truck starts you can use the GP as needed to even the engine out after a start up on really cold days.

I have a ford...

I have been thinking on adding a cold starting aid to my CUCVs the old stand by block heaters work great but what about a more modern screen style that super heats the air being pulled into the intake. We have a lot of engineering type guys on here always fabbing things to modernize our trucks...

You could certainly use it to stop if your regular brakes failed but as service brakes the long rear driveshaft would probably let go under the strain.

Most modern rubber tired loaders use that style braking the JD 624Js we use all have that for both service brake and parking brake

Probably the same reason auctions slated for a certain week mysteriously get put back a week when there is a glut of a certain item that week depressing the prices so they spread them out and the reason because they can.

Replace the fuel filter take the pink wire off the IP open the bleeder crank until the fuel comes out the bleeder close the bleeder put the pink wire back on the IP cycle the GPs and see if it will fire up. Diesels are very touchy when it comes to fuel just the slightest bit of water or air in...
