    Headlight Switch, Dimmer Switch, Relay Mod(s), etc.

    Thanks for everyone's replies! I just plan on buying the components and wiring it in myself. I want to do it, because I plan on putting the cab lights on a relay, as well as setting up a couple more relays for driving/fog lights, as well as back-up lights. So, I need all the practice I can...

    Headlight Switch, Dimmer Switch, Relay Mod(s), etc.

    Well hello Oilburner Community! I have been on this forum for a little while, I just haven't posted much. I have to say, of all the forums I have been a part of, this one is hands-down the best one! Okay, down to business. The vehicle in question is a 1994 F-250 turbo diesel, 5-speed. My...

    and then she ran away.....

    Question for the OP: In your case, did the engine give you any indication that it was going to run-away? Not only the minutes up to it running away, but days, weeks, months, etc. prior to the event? BTW, I am sorry to hear that happened to your truck; glad you weren't injured!

    Reason to pump your own fuel, OR residents.

    Well, the thinking is that when a person exits the vehicle and slides across the seat, they can build a static charge on themselves. Then, when they touch the nozzle they discharge the static charge and cause a small spark; and that small spark can ignite gasoline fumes. There isn't as much...

    Reason to pump your own fuel, OR residents.

    Well, Oregon and New Jersey are the only two states in the United States that have it written into their state law that motor-vehicle operators are not allow to pump their own gasoline at the "typical" fuel stations (e.g. Shell, Chevron, Exxon, 76, etc.) One reason they don't allow people to...

    Reason to pump your own fuel, OR residents.

    Yep, you are correct sir, ORS 480.330 says that an owner, operator, or attendant has to operate any part of the fuel pumps for a CLASS I fuel.....of which you pointed out, diesel is not a CLASS I fuel in the State of Oregon. Yeah, the guy had little man syndrome bad. I know for a fact that my...

    Reason to pump your own fuel, OR residents.

    I actually got my ass chewed by an attendant at a fueling station in my hometown (in Oregon of course) for using the diesel pump on my own. I have done it a thousand times, and this one attendant starting saying I was just some dumb kid and that if he ever caught me doing it again, he would...

    Warn Winch Bumper on Craigslist (Salem, OR area)

    I am not too much of a chrome guy myself. I do like lights though! :D However, I would make an exception with this bumper in a heartbeat! They are an awesome looking bumper, and getting more and more rare as the days go by....

    Warn Winch Bumper on Craigslist (Salem, OR area)

    I know there are many people that like these bumpers. If I had the money, I would buy it. However, I am just a poor college student that can barely keep my rigs running, let alone trying to buy extra special parts. Don't know if the price is right, but maybe it is for someone. Just...

    1994 F250/350 IDI Turbo Diesel Parts

    As the title says, I have some parts for an IDI turbo diesel that I am looking at selling. I have a E40D transmission (still connected to transfer-case) out of a 1994 F-250 IDI Turbo Diesel. Nothing wrong with it, just did a 5sp swap on the truck. Has been kept under cover out of the...

    New to me Toyo M55's

    Brad S. They are in fact a Toyo brand. They are the M-55. As far as the tires not "chunking", I think it is just the compound of the rubber. It is really tough. Another person I worked with was running the Toyo A/T tires and within 6 months the tires were completely trashed. They had...

    New to me Toyo M55's

    Those are some darn good tires! The truck I drove at work this past summer had em. They did great in the mud (for what they are), they handled very good on the road, and best of all, I never had them "chunk-out" driving on gravel. I would easily put 100 miles of gravel road driving a day on...
