So, I have 4 new batteries for my LMTV (M1088) . EverStart 124R's MY WORRY is that I have what appears to be two Grounds (the meter confirms continuity to ground on both) and two Hot wires. What I don't want to do is put 24v onto the 12v circuit. I can only assume that ground is ground and...

Definitely the way to go! My hand and a rake - they don't fit so well. Automation is a great thing. .

I do have to say that even excluding the rain x -- wipers are not the same quality that they were many years ago. I guess the silicon is the upgrade to the Aamco blades we used to buy at the parts house for $2. I do remember being on a road trip some time ago and getting a set of Rain X...

Thanks Mario ! Any chance you have a picture of how you set that up? And maybe commentary on how well those 24F's fit into the battery box pockets?

THANKS Frank!! While I was there, I also hauled down the other four books. I appreciate the pointer!! Tim

Agreed. Price of lead must be up... There are three scrapyards within about a one mile radius. When they start taking them out of city (county) vehicles it draws more attention than an individual. That could help get them caught. NONE of this is ever going to stop until the penalty for...

They aren't 27 series batteries... I have some of those here. Apparently they are a 24 series battery? This is amazingly more difficult than when you have the old battery in hand and just want "to get one like this".

I suppose I could but all of them tend to keep a record of spending money on claims... And that means only one thing. Never use your insurance and it goes up slowly. USE your insurance and pay extra for exercising that privilege for the next 5 years. At least that is how it works in North...

Thanks Wes! .

I was too busy saying bad words to look inside the battery cover. I am happy it was laying there... Will go give it a look. THANKS for the picture! .

So, in broad daylight the batteries were just stolen out of my M1088 sitting in the parking lot with 3 cameras pointing in its general direction. I figure saying what I really think about people that do that would violate every rule there is here - so I will refrain. TO MAKE IT EASY: Does...

Wow! So at that rate, you could go to California - decide that was a bad idea - then turn around and make it over to North Carolina and still have a little fuel to cruise the beaches and see the sights... :cool: THAT is a very cool fuel container. If stuff got bad, you could be a very happy...

Thanks m-35tom ! I can definitely give that a shot... Didn't want to just start ripping into it without purpose. I presumed there was another metal panel behind that heater box. :) I will definitely scope it out - hopefully fix it over the weekend - and report back with pictures! Tim .

I am definitely NOT the expert, but according to all I have read - yes. Pull the entire arm off and put it back on in proper position. AND THEN, if it moves again you may have something loose that needs to be tightened up to stop the problem. (as I understand it) .

Thanks Frank! Now if only my truck was exploded (without being blown up!) like that picture - I could enjoy it even more. I believe I saw that picture in the TM and kept digging. I was hoping to find the "Chilton's Manual" version of the "how to do it" or maybe "how to gain access" to that...

Older thread - but it does mention windshield wipers... When I purchased my truck from its previous owner, there were two brand new blades and arms with obviously "civi blades" on them. The center blade just lays there and doesn't move (picture below). I don't always take the shortcut way -...

Well... It looks like a nice installation to me dmetalmiki . Not that I am an expert. Sometimes when you feel crummy, having a project to do can take your mind off the pain or frustration. Glad you got it done. Now you get to reward yourself with a drive through to country ;-) .

With all that space on the back - and maybe just for the trip across half the country - it might be fun to have a sign that says "I may be slow, but I am ahead of you!" Definitely a nice build. I can't wait for you to get moved, settled in and get pictures of the Camo paint job.

Wow cattlerepairman . The old guy definitely gave you some good advise. I have several friends with sporty cars that live in Michigan and a couple more in Illinois - and in the past few days - all of them have reported garaging their toys for the winter. That picture shows that your toy...

Welcome from Charlotte! Tons of good information here and pictures go a long way. Heck, you might even post pictures of something you are considering purchasing to solicit opinions... Definitely welcome to the hobby! .
