Resurecting an old thread here, but I'm getting new cables made as I shorted the starter lead. Can I just use a regular eyelette on the starter end or does it need to be the funky end thats on there?

Other than my 12 year old 6tls going kaput. Standard issue block heater and a battery charger, winter cold front. I just ran regular diesel outta the pump. I would suggest a aux cab heater tho, the stock one barely made a dent.

Looks good to me. I rattle canned mine 2 yeas ago, free handed the camo pattern.

Ugh, another $50+ part shipped to Alaska, I think I'll use duct tape:razz:

After preforming admirability on the 300 mile round trip to Eagle summit ysterday, starts up and fogs the inside of the windshield. Guess its time for a new heater core again.

I've got a set of the HF airhorns installed on my 09. Pleanty loud. The kit i had came with the relay and simple instructions. I don't remember how much i paid but it wasn't more than $30.

How long does Badger Diesel take to get the IP back to you? the oh9 is my daily driver as of the moment so I would need to have a relative fast turn around if it could happen for me.

In AZ as a surveyor we had "Silvershields" something similar to the truck vaults. Ours was in a regular pickup bed but I know the make 'em smaller to fit inside of SUVs like out blazers. They lasted through several trucks and took a beating for having gear thrown into them all the time. I...

I like the center console as well but isnt it hard to reach the transfer case shifter? looks like an awquard reach from the photos.

How is the headlight logevity with the upgraded harness? I had the sylvania silver stars in the 1009. They were definatley brighter but only lasted a little over a year. Same thing in in my wifes car I put the brighter bulbs in, h4's, and they only lasted a year. Brighter yes, having to...

I think the majority of my starting problems are connected to the fact my block heater plug falls out of the heater at the block. I don't norice it in the dark and them try to start in the morning at 40 below basically unassisted. I'm yhawing out rtv right now to get that sucker to stay pluged...

I'm not discharging the batteries. It was recomended to me. In my specific environment (cold) that keeping the batteries on charge when I'm pluged in with block, oil pan, and other heaters was a beyter plan than using the little battery warmer pads.

I saw that battery tender page as well, but now that I know doghead is against it (I kneal before his cucv electrical know how), I think I'll try to retun the unused, but damaged 24v charger and get two 12v ones. Since I have done the resistor bypass, I know for sure there is not the same...

well, nuts. Anyone in need of a 24v charger then? slight damage to the insulation of the 120v plug.

this is probally a dumb question, I recently aquired a 24v 2 amp charger on the advice of the battery shop I use, do I hook it up to both batteries at once, negative to the front battery and positive to the rear? its gonna have to wait anyways as the cord snapped while getting it out of the...
