If this is the gasket between the bottle and the unit the bottle screws into, the propane thing is spot on. Try to get a gasket for a propane torch head, it should be the exact same size required, I think.

The stock alternator is rated at 60 amps, and spits out about 62 amps even at idle. A 45 amp load is ok, but the pivoting point would be how long you intend to run the load. The stock alternator has terrible cooling, especially at idle. Due to that point only, it really becomes the question...

WC, we have the Magnaflux kit at my work. I will bring it over today. It is a 2 can spray on system, a penetrant, and a developer. Goes on white like covered in flour, and then any cracks show up as a red felt tip like line. Clean off the head, block deck, and piston top surfaces. I think...

Low voltage does not make high amperage. Low voltage makes low amperage (Voltage = Current x Resistance). What burns a starter at low voltage is the reduced cranking speed of said starter, via the amount of time a brush is in contact with each commutator piece on the armature while passing...

Correct. CO is absorbed 250 times faster than oxygen by the human body, due to the molecule shape/size and binding mechanism. I was CO just poisoned a year ago piloting a 48' twin engine boat from the top fly bridge with the full canvas on the rear lower deck. The exhaust rolled up the back...

You guys should drag Wildchild467 into this. He has a turned up pump, a mix of LDT/S parts, and a 15psi Issy boost gauge. When he steps on it, the needle swings around and hits the 0psi rest pin. His EGT can also go past 1250F with no load in the bed or trailer on the truck. Additionally, he...

You guys do really well with all of this. I like to see the batteries bolted down, etc.... As a starter and alternator guy myself, and working for said company, I beg to ask, why the obsession with adding so much battery and/or alternator capability to a vehicle where the only real load is the...

Mine does exactly this also. Pass side hisses like a stepped on snake for a while, then does a few epileptic jumps, and then finally parks itself and works normally. The switch for it is completely limp when doing so. I bought a switch trying to blame that at first. I have shot air tool oil...

I saw something interesting along these lines I wanted to pass along. It was not really easily adjustable, but did look to be awfully strong and low cost. Along the lines of a log cabin made from 2x4's. Check under front of the 1/2 M923A2 I picked up for my trailer project:

The one I took apart was exactly like above, no potting inside. Yes, I still owe everybody answers on the resistor(s) thing. Stay tuned...

Thanks. Will look better once I shorten the front frame rails and fold them into a tongue. Here is the hydraulic valve for the tongue jack cylinder:

Not much ID on it (no labels like yours). Also I didn't take any other pics than what I posted because I was just removing the internals to have the housing and connector. Sorry, I would have paid more attention otherwise.

What a mess. The donor module I disassembled had zero potting in it.

Hold tight. I hope to try the termination resistors today. For some reason, I always pick the coldest days to do this stuff outside. Here's a little love for the warmer of folks this morning on the board:

Flux capacitor.

For target pressures, it would work. Real time pressure can only be read during pressure test sequences. The system does not have any air pressure on it before the wheel valves unless checking, filling, or deflating the tires, which is once every 15 minutes when not in run-flat mode. One...

Please feedback on this if you do so. I did not think a commercial replacement was available of the correct (same) size. Thanks.

Understood and thanks. I will go with A since that best describes the system I have already. If still NG, then I will try a length of the Cat 5 cable, that's a good idea for ready-made, I used to twist wires with a drill. I added to my post later, so that's why it did not appear. You missed...

Good points. Based on that, I just ordered one. Hope the posted p/n is correct, but looks to be. Says fits C series Cummins engines, which says 8.3.
