    First 0F start!

    I have 60G plugs in my truck and they have been in there for three years now. The 60G plugs are shorter than the stock plugs, and I think I may have some carbon build up in the holes as it takes a little longer glow cycle than it used to. I am going to pull all the plugs and test them this...

    Manual gps

    If the relay is like a regular starter solenoid it will ground through the case not the "I" terminal. If the case (mounting flange) can't ground it won't work. If it is a regular starter solenoid it probaly won't last long. A constant duty solenoid works better. I picked mine up a NAPA for $24...

    Point of no Return

    Since your are using flux core wire make sure you get the weld ground down and cleaned good. I have seen a weld made with a flux core welder show in the body work after a year or so. Usually it is where the flux and slag is left in a pin hole in the weld. I don't if there is a chemical reaction...

    speeds while towing

    There is a 1.5 mile grade from my house that is 8 to 10% grade that I have to start from a dead stop at the bottom. Pulling a 16 ft. gooseneck lowboy with a Ford 3610 tractor and bush-hog, I can reach and maintain 30 mph all the way to the top. The grade has two steep curves in it though and I...

    Torque, tension, and head bolts

    The bolts were ASTM A325 which is similar to a Grade 5 bolt, but we also did some testing with some ASTM A409 bolts which is similar to a Grade 8 bolt. The bolt look like regular bolts they just have heavy heads on them. The thickness of the head is equal to the diameter of the bolt which is...

    Torque, tension, and head bolts

    I had a class on structural steel bolts (bridge bolts) last week, and it was a real eye opener about bolts and fasteners in general. We did a lot of hands on in the class using 7/8" bolts 4 1/2" long with heavy nuts. Basically here is the run down on what we did. We put a bolt in a testing...

    Pics of IDIs still working?

    Heres mine with some hay and a small load of firewood. You couldn't hardly tell the hay was behind the truck, but the firewood was a different story. It was all green red oak.

    Clutch rod problems

    Yeah the whole rod cam out. It has already been drilled for a cotter pin. Haven't got to work on it any yet becasue of the rain yesterday and it is snowing and cold today. So it will probably be the weekend anyway.

    Clutch rod problems

    Backed a big load of firewood in the yard awhile ago to unload it and I shut off the truck and let out on the clutch then bang the clutch rod hit me in the shin. Looks like the cotter pin broke and came out. It was dark and I couldn't see under the dash but, it should go back in with out major...

    New dash pics

    Headliners are not that bad to fix. I have done about a dozen over the years. What happens is the heat breaks down the foam backing. To fix it first find a fabric store that has the headliner material. Then take out your head liner and take the old material off of the cardboard backer and take...

    What the heck are these?

    Standard ignition parts have been around for a long time. The auto parts store I worked for when I was a kid carried Standard ignition and later on we switched to Niehoff ignition. I didn't know that Standard did glow plugs though. Jack

    Glow Plug Carnage with Pics

    I have the slow glow Delcos in my truck right now. I put them in the truck when I got it and removed the Autolites about two years ago. I thought I would try the factory style plugs since I had a bunch of free ones, but after trying these out I believe I will stick with my AC Delcos. I had these...

    Glow Plug Carnage with Pics

    My uncle gave me a sack of Champion glow plugs (6 sets) that he had in storage since he sold his IDI in the 90's. I thought I would test a few to see how long it took them to burn out. They didn't burn out. They exploded with the force of a .22 long rifle shell in less than 2 seconds. When I...

    farm diesel and used motor oil make fuel???????

    The off-road diesel here is still greater than 500ppm sulfur and has a sticker on the pump that says it. On road is less than 50 ppm sulfur if I remember correctly. I run on-road in my truck with Lucas fuel additive and off-road in my farm equipment. I still run the additive though.

    It's not an injector.

    I listened to the video you posted and the video you posted back in April. The truck sounds the same to me except for a tink, tink sound. My money goes on the DMF. One of the guys here at work let his DMF get real bad and his truck sounded awful idleing.

    IDIs are missed

    I hauled a load of steers this weekend for my buddy because his 2001 Dodge has the dead pedal. He's got an injector pump ordered for it now. The old IDI just keeps chugging along and I have a grand total of $450 in it now. It is loud, belches smoke, and will only go 65 mph but it is paid for and...

    First big tow/haul last night

    I made my first big tow last night too, not to highjack your thread. I was well pleased with my truck since it is N/A. The only gripe I have is the gap in between 3rd and 4th in the T-19. The trailer I had on was a 16' gooseneck lowboy at about 1750 lbs and a Ford tractor at about 5200 lbs. My...

    Not to highjack your thread. but I too am having a similar problem with the 85 in my sig. I have replaced everything but the rag joint and the steering box. The truck gets a new rag joint this weekend if I can find time in between cutting, raking, and baling hay. My truck just has no "road...
