    Added gasoline to diesel tank - how much is bad?

    That must have been a while since he did that. Now try that today with a CW2 or even early CW3 They will look at you with that glazed look. Ingenuity has gone out the window for a lot of them. Not all, but a lot.

    Voltmeter died

    The tick mark isn't absolute. Sounds like you have healthy alternators. As long as your not in the red your ok. Did you see with a DMM what it's reading? (Alts) Mine has always been past the tick mark. But I use a 24v ISSPRO numbered and colored gauge.

    Project m1010

    I thought Dogheads response was tactful. He was simply responding to what you wrote and offered a different method. He wasn't making it personal like your response to him was. Do as you wish and have a great day.

    M1008 37"tires

    Front springs will look flat or even a reverse arch. They are designed that way. Normal The rear is also designed to sit a little higher. That way when it's loaded it will level out and not squat No clue on spacers as I run stock rims/tires
