    Voltmeter issues after changing belts

    @Ggping if you can have your current radiator re-cored. I’ve read time and time again that’s best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Voltmeter issues after changing belts

    @Ggping try measuring it from the Alternators, to verify. Maybe the Voltmeter is Wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Original Stanadyne Fuel Filter Base Rebuild

    @CucVee-E You can can try Mike Morin (via Facebook) or Hillbilly Wizard. They may have some good used parts. EBay might be a thought, but they may be highly priced on there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    M1009 Valve Cover Recommendations

    @cucvrus The expert has spoken in! What gaskets do you use with the gasket maker, Fel-Pro Cork? As far as I can tell, there is only cork. I may be wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    M1009 Valve Cover Recommendations

    @Mullaney the valve covers have been changed out 3 times. Ridiculous I know! The first two mechanics used RTD and the last one used Cork Gaskets. This next try will be with both. The mechanic I found is 65, he’s been working on Diesel Engines since High School. I have a good feeling he may...

    M1009 Battery Disconnect Switch??

    I have a quick question. Is it safe/ok to use Ring Lugs on the battery cable ends for both batteries for both negative and positive posts? The Negative Post in the front battery has this type of connection/lug. Picture below. There’s a Post Adapter on it, which I could simply remove. Then cut...

    Fuel Filter Issues for This Noob!

    @Lil Pete That is something I have read about! It can cause some major damage. It says Do Not Use Starting Fluid for a reason right? All I had to do was bleed the air out of the Fuel Filter Housing via the Top Drain. Good looking out and thanks for the heads up! Sent from my iPhone using...

    M1009 Battery Disconnect Switch??

    @vanaisa I’m thinking of putting quick release disconnect battery terminals onto the Neg Post of each of the 2 batteries. It seems to be the sure and safest way. Or, I’ll just leave it as is and disconnect the batteries normally. If it the existing clamps wear out again, I’ll replace the cable...
