Moved a little backhoe for my buddy. I’d been trying to run the rear tank dry. I succeeded.
LOL
This boys and girls is one of the many reasons to run electric lift pumps. It died before I got it switched and picked back up but it cranked on the first try which was good because I was sitting...
Thanks. I put a lot of effort into the documentation. It’s as much for me as you guys. Hopefully you stay away from the stupid things I did and learned along with me. I love my truck but I’m itching to do something else just a little different. I’ve got some work to do on the house first but...
I actually managed to do a little something Sunday. Ive been concerned for a while that maybe I’m robbing too much water from the drivers cylinder head because it’s a full -10 (5/8”) hose out the back of the head, through the turbo and to the manifold I added. So I decided to restrict it a bit...
It is pretty obnoxious isn’t it??
The switches are standard Carling or carling style rockers. Some came from amazon, some from eBay I think and a couple from here.

I finally completed the gauge swap.
So I hate taking this console down but I’m getting better at it. Luckily I made it fairly easy.
The molex connector made it nice. Under the hood it was just a matter of de-pinning one connector and swapping one sender wire for another. While I was...
Well, it will be a lot better than rattle can. Catalyst always helps. As far as grease and oil, it hold up okay on the fenders right?
They do make a clear powder coat as well I think.
I got a little windshield time. Took this loader and dropped it off for the time being.
Freed the trailer up to grab my buddies zero turn for yet another repair. For the love of God, stay away from anything Bad Boy makes. This thing has been a total POS. I’ve rebuilt the underside because...
I had a miserable experience with inline tube. I had to call them to get the “correct” lines for my truck. Not in the catalog.
Bottom line is this. If you go with them, pull everything out and check it immediately. The first set of stainless lines they sent me were not stainless. Some of the...
This looks like what I used.
This is what I used. No issues so far. I think you can get them from NAPA but they are more expensive. Maybe not if you are having to import them.
Cool. I have the same complaints about the champion radiator. It bolts into the core support without really sitting on the pins. And good luck finding that rubber part. I found them to be unobtainium. I used the best of the 4 I had and honestly, it didn’t matter in the d because it’s essentially...
As in what is it? Virtual Private Network. It’s basically a “secure” tunnel into a network. For us poor folks that are having to work some from home, we use VPN to get into the company network.
Now someone that actually speaks that language can correct me.
Yeah. Same here. I forget why it’s being blocked. Certificate issue maybe?? I remember at my last place it got blocked after the big hack. Even after it was fixed the ip was blocked.
Don’t mess up the dust shields. Those things are like gold to someone that needs/wants them. The 60 is different than the 40 or 50 for those.
Which seal are you talking about? There is an oil seal at the gear case end of the axle. I don’t really remember a seal at the knuckle end. Mine is a...
Far as I know it’s fine. It’s not got a ton of miles on it but it’s been in there since like...Geeze... very late 2015 very early 2016?? There might be 10k miles on it.
Nope. Wasn’t me. I’m still on my first one. It’s a 3 core. I’d love to have a 4 core. They weren’t available yet when I bought mine. It was one of my first purchases for the truck actually.
As camping season is coming up soon, I decided to start knocking some things off my list. Mainly tackling the nagging water temp problem. Step 1 in trouble shooting is determine if you have a problem. To that end I picked up a new auto meter water temp gauge. Killer deal on amazon.
then to...
Wes, what are your thoughts on timing and water temperature? By the same logic you gave with the egts and spoiling the turbo it would seem like retarding the timing might benefit water temps because there’s less combustion happening in the head. I’ve seen retarded timing with gassers make the...
