    Browsing CL for things I didn't need I came across a used Klienn train horn set; tank, compressor, horns, some wiring. Compressor is rated for 150PSI 100% duty cycle. Here's a link to the kit. I'll be getting the rest of the wiring and plumbing to get an air line off of it for tools and tires...

    Gear reduction starter, starts like a new truck

    This might be old news to most, but I didn't see it anywhere in the hard to start threads. I burnt out my starter this weekend trying to start in the snow, bumped it and drove 170mi back to work and got a ride home (.4mi, worst commute ever, truck takes longer to warm than to get to workLOL)...

    Crank no start = Bad glow plugs

    Went to start the truck today and got nothing but smoke and no fire. After ruling out air in the lines, GP not getting power, and no power to the IP, I pulled #1 and @ PGs. Both tested bad, so I pulled the other 4 I could get to easy, all but one was open. They are only a few months old. I'm...

    Who here runs a fuel additive?

    I looked in the chemicals thread and didn't find much. Who here runs a fuel additive, if so which one, how much, and how often? I looked at the dieselmax, red line options, and other various ones and don't understand the difference. I go though a 20 gal tank in about a week, and rotate tanks so...
