    Hey EZ, check ebay you may find what you need there, I did for my shifter boot, for a fraction of "new" cost. OPEL GT INNER TIE ROD, NEW, RUBBER ,BOOT/BELLOWS KIT:eBay Motors (item 140286990273 end time Oct-31-09 07:29:23 PDT) Which reminds me, I'll need a few odd sized boots too, unique to my...

    Using a thread as a log is what I do sometimes also. For improvements, trace out the wiring for the head lights and put them on a separate circuit breaker, so that a non-related problem won't leave you without lights. What kind of turn signal unit does your truck have, do you have 4-way flashers?

    Good job, thanks for posting. LED tail lights are great for slow moving MVs. EIKO makes a lot of substitute stuff, wonder if the life expectancy is the same as the Tungsram bulbs....

    There is one for each fuel tank, mounted on the frame accessible from the outside.

    Interesting bit about the oil filter. Here is the internals of the scraper type filter used on the xm757, which has a micron rating of 50 (primary fuel filter and also serves as a water separator). It was selected to reduce maintenance, one turn of the handle did the job and draining. Adding a...

    Atmospheric pressure is about 15 psi (which is also called 1 bar on many European style pressure dials), so 0.5 atm is about 7 to 8 psi.... You did change the oil after adding the diesel, right? Diesel in the oil will lower the viscosity, lower the pressure and reduce the lubricity.

    Check valves and other valves can be tricky, make sure the flow factor (Cv) is high. There is a rather simple formula for figuring the pressure drop across a valve based on Cv, flow rate and specific gravity of the fluid. Specific gravity changes a lot with temperature of the oil, so it may not...

    Wow, a whole different world, looks like a positive ground el system too. Do you have a problem with the oil pressure, or rather, the time it takes to reach pressure at start-up? How big is the oil filter? Does it overheat (need for electric fan and oil cooler)? What kind of "trash" do have in...
