    Plug block heater into "shore power"?

    30 amp breaker will supply up to 30 amps to your power cord. The heater will draw 20 amps maximum. The supply is good if all runs correctly. But we all know things don't go according to plan. I would change the breaker to a 20 amp breaker OR add a second breaker and plug for the block...

    where can I find this part (new)?

    If you are getting Filter Restriction light after 5 minutes running, you have algae in the fuel. Take the filter off and cut it open; do you see algae? If so this is your problem.

    Someone go get it!!!

    The reason I have been successful in quitting is I wanted to quit. Not my parents nor the court made that decision, I did. Several friends have quit but go back to drinking after a while. This is how life works; YOU have to make the choice and follow your choice.

    Someone go get it!!!

    I don't know about you Northern guys but in Calif you MUST have a valid medical card to keep your Class A or B license. I had a class B for several years and it was taken from me when I was convicted of a DUI offense. The insurance increases would have bankrupt me also. I sold my ten wheeler...

    Bolt down system for truck canopy

    The pick-up bed is a box and it is unlikely to twist or bend which would damage your shell. I had one on two 4X4 trucks for years and never had a problem with the shell.

    Testing a front fuel sending unit that reads empty

    1946 CJ-2A. I got one when I was in college and towed it back to Nor Cal. I spent over $50,000 "rebuilding" it several times. Lotsa fun and money. I learned a lot about 4 wheeling and trucks.

    The armature is the source of power so it is connected to the + of the battery.

    Glow plug stuck

    Pulling the head is the only way to get the swollen glow plug out without causing more damage. Do it.

    I want to pick some brains

    Good point. I don't remember that far back, but I did not make 15X less that today. It was no big deal to buy it.

    Motor work. Bent rods, loose lifter,

    Valves hitting the pistons is the main cause of bent rods. Why the pistons and valves collide will be the reason to rebuild your engine. Hoping that something unlikely caused the bent rods is a waste of time and thought. Take it apart and LOOK!

    Batteries 100% drained dead - new problem

    Diesel engines do NOT product vacuum without a vacuum pump. There is NO throttle plate that closes when you let off the pedal and produces vacuum like a gasoline engine.

    Batteries 100% drained dead - new problem

    I understand not wanting to buy two new batteries, but if you keep messing with a failed trickle charger you will be getting two new batteries. Save the time and trouble by getting two new batteries.
