    Ex Wife- my LONG term build

    Makes me wish I bought the red one with air ride in Seattle before we left and just towed betsy back with it. Looking forward to seeing this thing!

    No headlights, no taillights, no clue.

    Are they LEDs? My tails went out after some time and were fixed by putting incandescent bulbs back in. Can check the plugs for power too after checking everything else.

    Fuse panel cooked

    I believe, hopefully not mistaken, that @chillman88 has a spare fuse block in a parts box I tossed his way last month. Was from an 85 F250 so not sure how alike they are.

    7.3 idi turbo hard to start

    100 percent IDI thing. We hit 100 here in August and I needed to glow it for 6 seconds or so to get it going. Heat and speed or they don't start.

    What batteries do you have in your idi?

    I put Optima red tops in mine after reading here they need help spinning. And let me just say it was probably more $$$ than I should have spent but she starts easy every time.

    Anyone proactively replace parts?

    I just did my ujoints and made sure I ordered spares. I do the same with wheel bearings and belts. As for maintaining, well, I just give things a look over and a shake here and there to determine if it needs it. Usually just let it ride.

    Fan motor squeal

    Take a look at the bearing on exposed portion of the motor. Mine wore from spinning, gravity, and time. Sounded awful.

    Good 3 way ball valve

    To add FNW is an excellent, affordable brand and we used them on all sorts of systems: steam, hydrailic, air, etc.

    Good 3 way ball valve

    If you want to look for yourself, FW Webb is the east coast ish plumbing supply and will have them. Ferguson/Wosley is the mid to west coast. Not sure if there is one in PA. But you could check online.

    Anyone in the Market?

    It was the only tough thing moving from WA to the east coast. No more clean trucks! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Cleared the tress I've watched grow while hearing my neighbor say he would take care of for 15 years. A few maples and a big oak that was dead. Plenty of fire wood.

    Hot Transmission

    I've heard many a folk say never to flush a transmission as it agitates the filings/shavings that have settled themselves in and could potentially end up back in gears and such creating some problems. Industrial gearbox manufacturers never recommend flushing for fear of ruining the gear mesh...
