    Plug block heater into "shore power"?

    Gotcha. Thanks.

    Plug block heater into "shore power"?

    Yes. It's 30A/120v. Do you think I need a 15A breaker before the block heater?

    Plug block heater into "shore power"?

    I have an outdoor pedestal with a 30 amp. outlet for a camper. Would it be okay to use this adapter to plug in my truck's block heater? https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Plug-Adapters/Mighty-Cord/A10-3015HVP.html Will the circuit breaker still send out 30+ amps. before tripping? If so, do I need to...

    Wiring harness and thinking about selling

    My other vehicle is a 1985 Mercedes gasser (M110) with mechanical fuel injection (K-Jet?). I don't know a damned thing about it because I've never had to do anything to it.

    Where do you buy coolant test strips that aren't bad?

    6 gallons total? (water + concentrate) They say to flush the system before adding. Is that anything more than just purging with clear water?

    Where do you buy coolant test strips that aren't bad?

    How many gallons does it take? I've got a 6.9 but I'm still concerned about needing SCAs.

    Someone go get it!!!

    I couldn't find any info. on the Mohawk version. Anyone heard of, or seen, one before? Must be a Northeast USA thing?

    Another tire size question...

    I don't care about mileage. I don't really go anywhere since working from home started. So, thanks for the reply. The stock 10 plys that came with the truck are designed for highway miles, and they're weather-checked, and they suck in the snow. I may grab these (used) 33" "mud claws" and give...

    Exhaust

    Me too. That's the main thing I don't like about this truck. Especially with the 3 speed/4:10. But most of the noise seems to come from the engine bay. Tough to even have a conversation at highway speeds. Luckily I don't drive there very often.

    Another tire size question...

    Thanks all. Sounds like the extra width will be ok for clearance. That is my thinking with going to 33" is it'll bring the RPMs down a bit for a given speed (and increase top speed, 4:10 C6). And maybe a bit softer ride.

    Another tire size question...

    I've read here that 33" are fine on a stock F250. But is it ok to also go a bit wider? I have stock size 235/85/16 on there now (#1). I have a chance for a good deal on 285/75/16 (#2). Good to go?

    Somebody better buy this truck!

    I don't know anything about it but thought someone here might be interested. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/691745519269565/

    Knocking after injector change

    I can't speak to the knocking, sorry. But as far as the IP...I replaced my injectors with ones from Russ. Big improvement over what was in there from the previous owner. I didn't do the pump at that time as it was starting and running great and I didn't have the cash. Within a couple months the...

    Fuel issues?

    Right. But the line is just rubber hose. The fittings that Russ supplies are the key and, I think, should be what he needs for the task?

    Knocking after injector change

    On that note, it seems that many of the injectors available to buy are junk. Many have learned this the hard way and later bought again from one of 3 the recommended rebuilders here.

    Fuel issues?

    Russ (TYP4) also sells olives. He might be willing to get some out to you quickly. https://russrepair.com/olives-and-o-rings-for-a-fuel-system-seal-up/ I don't know the specs. to see if you can get them locally. I'm sure someone here does.

    Knocking after injector change

    There's not many mechanics left that are willing, or able, to time these. Many of us have bought the timing equipment and are willing to help you in some fashion. Maybe one is near you? List of us here:https://www.oilburners.net/threads/timing-service-registry.70126/ Or you can get into it...

    Fuel issues?

    ...or you could build/buy a hard line delete kit. It does away with the "olives". Member TYP4 sells them. https://russrepair.com/fuel-system-components/hardline-delete-kits/ I don't know the specific parts/threads you need to build it. That's why I bought mine from Russ.

    Gear indicator fix? (automatic tranny)

    Gear indicator fix? (automatic tranny)

    I dropped my steering column to mess with the ignition and didn't disconnect the gear indicator cable first. It's still attached up in there but I guess I damaged the return spring? Anyone had the instrument panel apart to know if I can get in there to try to fix this without damaging something...

    Our beloved FL1995 oil filter is no longer cheap at Walmart

    ...or maybe a back-door Biden Admin. fee on fossil fuel-supporting products with the intent to drive prices up and get folks to give up on their ICE-powered vehicles.

    Our beloved FL1995 oil filter is no longer cheap at Walmart

    Ouch. I grabbed a case (12) of Donaldson P559127 for just over $6.00/ea. on Ebay last year. I heard they're decent filters. Should hold me for a while putting less than 5k miles/year on the truck. ;-)
