All good, I didn't do anything. Now paint my 923A2 trailer.

That was a lot of work in one day, drove it in and out. He's fortunate to find friends with forklifts at their work that can be used for personal benefit at 3am. There is at least one difference so far on the break-in, and that is he is doing this break in on diesel fuel, not waste motor oil...

First, I think it is way cool that you own a tracked vehicle. Second, also way cool of you to support from England. I used to think I wanted a pre-lube pump on all my stuff, until I started rebuilding engines more. It seems engines really depend on oil pressure once the engine is under load...

I know, right? They got 3 orders in a week. It should be like rental wedding tuxes. Groom's is free when best men rent theirs, but didn't happen. Love the avatar, that's who I'm named after, but I'm not nearly as cool as he is.

Well, WC just cold started his new/used engine we installed last night once he woke up today, and he said it started same as if he just shut it off 30 seconds ago. He was really excited. That's a good sign that his compression is back, as it took him over 45 seconds of cranking to build enough...

Hi Bob. Thanks for always pulling for us, I will contact my rep. Do we have any official sections of non-compliance we can quote, or an example of such letter? Is there anymore detail, such as they don't meet bumper height requirements, etc....? Also, do we know what any of the target...

We changed the engine in WC's ride yesterday (Sunday). He bought a runner from GR here and then put new rings with a hone job and head gaskets on it. We had it out on the floor with the trans in 2 hours, and then it went slooooooowwwwww. 7 hours to swap all the external engine parts over...

Maybe it is not a fuel issue? Will it fire with starting fluid? The injectors are under the valve cover, and rocker arm actuated. At the point you are, I would run a line to an external electric pump and a bucket of diesel, and see if it will run that way. This may be a good start for quick...

I was shopping it too. I'm like, "Hey, I haven't seen a carb air filter housing like that in decades! Plus, there is enough cool stuff there to start building something fun. We have a steering wheel, tires, a trans, belts, metal gas cans, .....".

So the inlet area of the 5" Donaldson Air Ram scoop actually has less area than the ugly military mushroom cap. The Donaldson measures 5.5" x 6.5", and the mushroom measures 9" diameter with a 5" pipe up through it. Inlet velocity is probably pretty slow across both regardless, and in my...

Wow, look at all the treasures in that garage!

Maybe WildChild467 would post a pic or so. He shortened his heater core box, and then mounted the entire thing inside his cab to recirc warm air. He did a really clean job, it looks like it came from the factory that way. I could not believe how well it works. Even in cold Michigan winters...

The gear reduction starters pull 200 amps less initial inrush current, and 50 amps less continuous average current during cranking. They do not necessarily crank faster, but they are more efficient (hence the lower current draw), and they do spin their speed consistently, be it cold, room temp...

With your heater on max, does the discharge air stay hot or cool off? This can also tell you coolant flow, or lack thereof.

I checked their page again, and it looks like upon installation, you need to allow some of the hard pipe to protrude up into the scoop. Mine does have the same slits at the bottom as yours. The water drains out these vertical lower slits. I was expecting a rear horizontal for some reason...

Seriously? I may have been sold a clone. Please post a pic of said drain. If you knew how to take a picture without washing out the subject with bright background sky, we'd be good. fat lady sings

My scoop came in today. It has the Donaldson insignia on it, but I don't see any slits in the rear to allow the rain water to expel, as their write up says. According to their one-pager on this, they say the rain will collect on the back wall of the scoop and run down and drain out. I thought...

You may not have the isolator wired in correctly, the isolator may not be working correctly, or your $60 purchase could be a bum deal. Start by wiring the alternator up same as your buddy's truck, get the isolator out of the equation. See if it works. If so, then it is the isolator or the way...

How about some pics of your mom?
