Door banging over bumps
When we got our clunker it had no material on the striker pins. I had some 1/2" pex tubing laying around from a travel trailer rebuild. Cut a piece to length, slit it down the middle and popped it on with the the seam pointing away from the truck and epoxy. Niether door moved until we junked...- damac

Carrier Pump Group Buy
I had one of these on my trucks before it blew up and it never had a problem, less than 10,000 miles. Since then it has sat on the shelf with diesel in it and looped lines. I went to use it to prime my old vw and it won't pump? Its clacking just like always but doesn't seem to want to do the...- damac

A chronic case of the gremlins - starter/solenoid/drain/????
45 minutes into the trip and your battery power delivery was worse than when you started? Have you had your batteries tested outside the truck? If they are good your alternator isn't charging. A few years ago when I got my first diesel we got it from an abusing owner that said it was...- damac

A/C retrofit questions
If you are talking about converting a system over technically the "right" way you need to basically replace all the parts due to higher pressures of the r134 so that picture and price leads me to believe you will be short on parts. Or you could just clean up all the parts and flush them if...- damac

Coolant questions!
if memory serves me i remember watching something on tv about this stuff and they were claiming you don't have corrosion or cavitation issues down the line? having no pressure in the hoses surely would extend their life? regardless of coolant i have learned on my old diesels to use one of...- damac

Auber Instruments Automobile Gauges?
i like them because of the size and you can custom mount multiples that take up less room than the round gages. only thing that sucks is you need 1 each if you want to watch multiple inputs in real time. hook up the aux buzzer to an aircraft buzzer from ebay for people that borrow your...- damac

DIeseL require special fuel line.
Technically it does and you might be surprised to find very little "fuel" line out there is diesel rated. Up to you if you want to take the chance of hosing breaking down and causing restrictions and/or bits to be pumped through your injection system. That could be a very costly mistake. If...- damac

Cranking issue after 30 min or more shutoff
If you aren't talking about cranking speed, I had that happen on our truck with a uhaul injection pump months ago. Freaked me out at the time wondering if I messed up the timing, etc. I could start the truck up cold and then venture out and do some short stops and have it restart just a...- damac

93 f250 smoking white, searched lookin for help
So when you start it up and its smoking white, you smell it and it stings like unburnt fuel? The fact it gets better when warm on that front probably means you just have some air intrusion somewhere even though it might not be leaving puddles on the ground, etc. Seen it when I first got...- damac
