    So what did you do with your truck today?

    @IDIBRONCO .... Can we see a better pic of your grapple on the loader bucket..? Looks pretty nifty... By the way...that is one nice tractor...just my speed... If I was not so enamored of my little guy I would be jealous...but still...I'll bet you get a lot of utility outta that machine...

    Cup holders

    I always gotta learn the hard way...this helmet was brand new-never been used and I hadda go and put it on the roof of 'Ol One-Ton facing the sun to charge it up...little did I know at that moment that in a few minutes I needed to move the truck... Just this morning The Girl was looking for her...

    Powerstroke 2 IDI no Turbo conversion

    I have a feeling that an originally turbo-ed diesel that has the turbo missing would be gutless..that is to say the power level would be so low that it would be useless as a prime mover...maybe it would work as a garage heater...but be very inefficient in that role... When you turbo a...

    Yeah...and what will usually happen is some sugary drink will wind up spilling down into the 'manual lever position sensor' and short it out and cause all sorts of 'electronic' transmission problems....and it is never cheap to figure out or fix.... The driver would never figure that they caused...

    Getting ready to install my c6 cooling upgrades

    Late to the party here... But I can tell you what I used to do... On a rigid pan...cast aluminum...in a pinch the cork will work but as Rdnck84_03 says...you gotta not overtighten them and probably need to re-torque at some point... I would not use RTV...just don't...the only time to use RTV...

    C6 overheating mysterious cause

    Got a few questions before we go further... What is your total combined load you are pulling...how much total weight..? What gear ratio do you have in the rear axle..? Do you have a tach...? and if so...is it reasonably accurate...? If yes to the above...what RPM can you achieve at full...

    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    I just had to chime in here...not meaning to contradict you in any way...but if what you say is true...why do the extremists keep pounding away with the notion that CO2 is a 'greenhouse gas' that we have an excess of and we must all spend money that we don't have and try to live in an unnatural...

    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    11 May 1932 – During abortive landing of USS Akron ropes pull three members of the mooring crew high into the air while two fall to their deaths, the third was saved. 4 April 1933 - In severe storm USS Akron lost at sea off coast of New Jersey due to instrument error. This considered as one of...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    is this up-and-down play or forwards-and-backwards play or both..? as the unit is sitting on the floor (on the pan) and you grab the shaft and try to move it...?

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    remove the extension housing and take a peek...then remove the pan and check out the linkage... I am curious at what would be up with it... I was just at my place last Saturday...I coulda hooked you up with whatever you needed if I had a little advance notice...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I should have been specific about an 'instrument panel' instead of leading you to believe "wth is he talking about my injector pump for..." Sorry for the confusion...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    The 'Ol One-Ton looked on silently while I fabbed up a couple of brackets to hold a few beehive combs on the hive while The Girl checks things out...suited up like the Pillsbury Doughboy in her bee suit... Here is the raw material...salvaged from the last place I worked... Here is how it got...

    I want you to know that I have the clasp from a broken clipboard saved for a future project and I will shamelessly copy your idea... Because it is a durn good one...

    Charging question

    Lordy...if they are both the same thing or comparable quality then I would chance a few bucks and try one out... I should have gotten the name of the manufacturer of the big one I used to use...have not found it...but it would have been great if you use it frequently... You sure seem talented...

    Anyone done a large aux c6 trans cooler?

    Looks like some insects decided to do a close-up inspection and body-slam test of your cooler.... I hope @Can't Write doesn't see that...he'll have a conniption... Looks pretty good to me...similar to the ones I used... Lots of good advice...

    Charging question

    When I worked at an equipment dealer we fabbed them up pretty often... If you take your cables to a good-sized tractor dealer they might hook you up...no pun intended...

    Anyone done a large aux c6 trans cooler?

    That is how I usually would set up coolers when I had a shop... Two Derale-style coolers in front of the radiator or AC condensor...they needed to be close enough so the fan will pull air through them at low speed and not have anything substancial in front of them so the air won't be blocked at...

    Project Stress Test

    Have you thought about having a 'Brand' symbol.? You know....some kind of spiffy 'Hacked89' brand recognition trademarked logo..? With all of the nifty stuff you do...it just seems fitting to have some kind of unique symbol that will become a household brand... Just a thought...

    Project Stress Test

    Can I ask where you got the headers..? Look pretty zoomie... If I ever have a shop with enough room I am going to get a pipe bender... I would love to fab up custom exhaust like that... Gotta say...that engine looks pretty darn cool.... All it needs is an IP gear cover 'smiley face'...

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    https://www.summitracing.com/parts/umi-01055 Since you are familiar with the Summit website...something like this will keep your shop floor cleaner when you go to re-assemble the engine... I have a similar one and it is much appreciated....I plan on building an engine once I set up a building...

    Burning up fuel shut off solenoids.

    Ya gotta see Robert Duvall about that...he lives on a horse farm in Northern Virginia and claims to have distant ancestry with the Lee Family... How do you know that 'Wilson' didn't have anything to do with it..? needing attention, maybe...? I gotta confess that I was eyeing your truck in the...
