    S-280 Shelter. It's final ride

    3/4 plywood topped with oak tongue and groove. It was a easy install and the warm feeling that it gives it inside is amazing. It is well worth the cost of losing a little headroom. Im just under 6' and have no head banging issues. The overhead lighting layout is more to the sides than the...

    Crank but no start m1009 need advice

    That wire goes to the water temp light. It's there just forward of the fuel injector in your pic. Diesels do not have spark plugs.

    No Power in Cab M925A1

    There is but I'm not very familiar with the test. Search the threads for the PCB bypass. That bypass method should let you know if it's bad. If that is the issue, they are very easy to rebuild. Some PCBs have circuit boards, some don't. Mine do not so it was easy.

    Agree but now they all do it. The PCU is pushing air (figuratively speaking) as great as ever. Is forcasted to be really warm this weekend. 75-80+ Will see if the cold weather has anything to do with it. I like the system and will buy whatever I need to fix it. The one thing I haven't...
