    Rotella 15w40 vs Rotella 15w40 Full Synthetic

    Delvac 15/40 year round (I don't take it out in mid winter, for two reasons. 1. It's a 2x4 2. Michiganders drive in winter the same way they do on dry summer roads) During winter she gets started up and taken for a spin around the neighborhood a few times just to get things moving and lubed and...

    Gauges Guidance

    Thought I should start another thread since the FSS fuse rating thread has gone way OT lol. So, as you can tell from my sig I have a stock truck with no bell's and whistles. I no longer use it for work because I took an nice easy indoor job as a facilities director in a local school...

    IP FSS fuse rating

    It looked more daunting until after I took it out and got into it. As far as I can tell the problem was with the old cap from the glow plug controller (I went manual a few years ago). Anyway I cut out the old controller and I assume nothing was being jumped off of that for anything else? The...

    IP FSS fuse rating

    Okay, I decided to stop dicking around with it and just pulled the whole harness out. It would always be niggling me that something was wrong in there. Even if I bypassed it, the potential for a catastrophe would probably be very real. I only have a small logging operation to get done for our...

    IP FSS fuse rating

    Okay. I separated the two wires that run to the FSS and it's the red wire with the black stripe that is shorting. I still don't know why there is another wire spliced to that at both ends. (one at where the fusible link was, and the other at the terminal that attaches to the FSS) I separated...

    IP FSS fuse rating

    Thankyou everyone who has jumped in to help here. It's much appreciated! So I started tracing and without ripping into the woven casing and outer plastic casing its pretty obvious, at least initially, that there are no bare wires touching the frame or the block. Can someone tell me why there...

    IP FSS fuse rating

    I know its not the FSS because if I unplug it, the fuse still blows when the ignition is turned on. Now I have to try and figure out if the short is on the feed side or the harness side. I know there are issues in the harness because the cold start and high idle stopped working a few years ago

    IP FSS fuse rating

    So what's the difference between a fusible link and an inline fuse of the same gauge?

    IP FSS fuse rating

    I don't have a fuel heater. The strange thing is that after I did the repair I drove 50 miles with no issues. Then I stopped to pick up parts. Came out of the store and blew the fuse. I put in another fuse and drove 5 miles home, shut it down then restarted and the fuse blew. Then I let it sit...

    IP FSS fuse rating

    Anyone know what the fuse rating for the FSS is? My original wire burned up and I thought it was 20amp so I installed a 20 amp inline but it keeps blowing! I know I might have other issues but wanted to check what the rating was before I go digging around looking for a short. Thanks!

    Did I just kill my starter?

    All the connections are good and solid. (I'm pretty **** about that stuff) It turned over just fine when I tried to start it normally. It was after that, when I tried to bump it forward on the starter that it failed. After that I tried it normally again and its was dead. I went into my local...

    Did I just kill my starter?

    So I have issues, but that's another story for another thread. Anyway, Big Red is dead due to FSS issues. So I decided to bump it forward a couple of feet to get closer to my working area. So I turned the key while in 1st gear, thinking it would lurch forward but instead the starter hardly...

    T19 Manual tranny/ throwout bearing squeak

    Well the fork has arrived but I can't do the work until I return from Alabama next week. A funny thing happened though. The squeak is gone! I'm still going to change the fork though because Murphy's law states that the squeak will return in the middle of winter when there's snow on the ground!

    T19 Manual tranny/ throwout bearing squeak

    Really appreciate your taking the time to do this MTKirk. New fork should arrive on Tuesday. Gonna steam clean around the tranny before I do the work. There's a leak from the top of the tranny which will be the next project after then fork replace.

    T19 Manual tranny/ throwout bearing squeak

    Since the fork is the cheapest parts option and the easiest fix, I just ordered one from Rock Auto. Haven't pulled the old one yet, but based on what I've read in this thread I'm 85% sure this is the problem. Since the shop also went for the easiest "fix" I'm sure what they did was probably slap...
