Also, the majority of these vehicles are 24 volt, which will draw half the current of an equivalent 12 volt system. Of course overkill is the name of the game here, but in reality, the battery cabling on these vehicles are sized same as their 12v civilian on-road counterparts, which means they...
These ones don't eat metal, as long as you use the correct one for the material. Green for steel/iron, yellow is coarse for aluminum, and white will simply polish aluminum. They literally burn/melt any surface impurities off, be it rust or gaskets yuckies. They are not abrasive type. This on...
I find particular interest and respect those who do this on such a budget (or nearly none at all). I throw money recklessly at my truck in random spurts, it is all sitting around as parts in piles of dreams to install, which is the worst situation possible. No $, and no fun stuff installed...
The fuel gauge system in vehicles is very simplistic. Gauge and sender are in series, just a single wire circuit. Power starts at the gauge and goes through it, single wire from there to the sender and across the variable resistor at the sender, then out of the sender to the frame ground right...
Member Tedcat designs and fabricates them. Very heavy duty thick wall 5000psi hydraulic rated stainless tube, professionally TIG welded to a stainless 90 JIC fitting. He offers them for suction and/or return dip tubes, in stock or extra long lengths (you cut to fit). Direct thread in...
We don’t know how they wired it. Sounds to me they are pulling 12v from the wrong battery set. Need to use the ground side batteries in order for something like this to work. This means the batteries which have their “-“ going to the vehicle ground.
Overheat usually causes both. Drops seats due to head expansion, and causes the narrow piece between the intake and exhaust valve to crack, especially if cold water was poured in with engine off and then started and sucks it in. Largest thermal difference between the two valves, across the...
Your turbo experienced FOD, Foreign Object Damage. The amount of play you specify is normal for a hydro-dynamic bearing and was not the cause. Oil takes up that space once running. It is required to have clearance to lubricate and float the carrier bushing which spins at half of shaft speed...
He just had his second child born yesterday. PM me a number for you, and I’ll forward it to him. I told him about your situation, so he is aware of it.
Member TedCat has them available for sale, new, makes them out of stainless steel thick wall hydraulic pressure rated tube and 90 degree JIC top fitting both, properly TIG welded by Chris Razor (Miller welder spoke’s person). These things look space shuttle ready when done. We’re blessed to...
Mine is for sure the fan. Only happens when the fan turns on, and fan blade is loose. Tightened twice so far now. Getting false tightening feedback because internal threads are rusty. Need to remove clutch, re-tap holes, then install new bolts with new lock washers, and it should hold.
