    Transmission Gearing vs Rear Differential Gearing Question

    I remember driving at 55 mph during that time. I would eventually speed up to 65+ to get back to my standard travel times. Almost every one was going 65mph...

    Original OE Starter Woes... getting tired

    Whatever starter you choose must be able to spin the engine at minimum 500 rpms or it won't start. The engine cpu will not let fuel flow below 500 rpms - no start. A stock starter with clean wire connections/grounds is good. There are several items that cause no start; glow plugs, starter...

    Paint color

    I work for the Paint Dept at Home Depot. We use a scanner to match colors. It works something like 95% of the time or it does NOT work. Then we wait about 4 days for a new one to be shipped to our store. It is a very good system for matching colors!

    30 degree cold start (opinions wanted)

    Check your battery. It must be in GOOD condition to turn the engine over at 500 rpms in 30 degree weather. Replace it if it does not keep a charge. Weak batteries are the number ONE cause of COLD no starts.

    7.3 idi problem

    A weak battery will cause no-start problems. They must spin at 500 rpms to start. A weak battery will not spin the engine at 500 rpms.

    California ( and others ), RV's, and more laws...

    I lived in Santa Ana (Disneyland) in 1957 and you could hardly see across the street it was so smoggy! We left Calif for Colorado in 1959. Lived in Colorado for four years and moved back to SoCal, Thousand Oaks in Ventura county. The air was getting better but by how much??? My family moved...

    Locking Hubs: Seeking Reviews

    I would lock in my hubs, on my 2004 F-350, when the rains came and keep them locked in if I didn't have to take a freeway somewhere. I also had Warns on my 1946 CJ-2A. There was almost nothing 1946 about it. I updates everything but not the Warn hubs. Never had a problem with any Warn hubs!

    Sudden loss of oil

    When I had my diesel F-350 I would get on it hard every time I got on the freeway onramp. "Drive it like you stole it!" Diesel engines DO NOT like to be babied.

    As I recall IDI's need 500 rpm, from the starter, to fire.

    3.55 gears vs 4.10s with gear vendors

    Yes, to get heavy loads going from a stop. I owned a Kenworth C-500 with a Detroit Diesel 8-V92 and a 13 speed tranny. Under a heavy load I would start in first gear and shift three times getting through an intersection. Under no load I would start in 4th gear and get through the intersection...

    Anybody know what the resistance for the cold advance solenoid should be?

    What ever the specs say for your fuel shutoff solenoid is the correct ohms. There is no standard.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I had a '65 Chevelle SS in High School. Nice car and the only power anything it had was under the hood. I drove it to Univ of Aridzona in Tucson. Oh and no A/C!. I got into street racing and sold it for a 1970 GTO 4 speed, Dark Green and no A/C! Stupid kids - speed is more desirable than...

    No it doesn't sound like a bad idea. I mounted a compressor to my frame, any years ago. I never had a problem with it.
