Congratulations and condolences ! :-D:-D:-D I hope ya have great success in making her into the machine of your dreams.

If unplugging the control box makes the draw go away then it is the prime suspect. The alternator is the "dumb" load in the circuit (which I believe you already know) like the light bulb that stays on when the switch is definitely ​off (because the switch is bad inside). It's where the draw...

AWESOME ! Love the trophy ! The piece on the right is purty too ! :grin:

I would love to find a "better" trans that would be more highway friendly. I would LOVE to update / upgrade to an automated 10 spd. but I don't think anybody has ever mated one to a dinosaur nhc, at least not anybody that is on the international look what I did internet channel. If I had...

71Deuce, I hope I'm not speaking out of turn but shifting a 5 ton that is empty is "easy". This thread is more about when the rig is being used at or near max. capacity. If you've never driven with a manual trans. then yes, there is a learning curve involved but the bigger curve is learning...

Saw this yesterday and didn't have time to reply. Good tip but I thought everyone did this as S.O.P. Guess using the clutch pedal just for starting and stopping unless some unusual situation occurs is how I learned 100 years ago ( and THOSE trannys were NOT synchronized ). I did use it...

Well, time for the next installment of "The Schmuck Did Nothing Worthwhile". That being said, I really just wanna beat the Deuce Boys (and girls) to 800 pages of thread. Sooooo, this week Exit Strategy received an "upgrade" to the residential electrical system. I changed out the 100' 16/3...

Now THAT woulda made a cool lamp for the Man-cave. Deflate the tire ( if it still had pressure ), mount a defunct M1 Garand upright and put a Steel Pot on top for a lamp shade.

Cobra, Can't wait to get my brakes reliable again. She sooooo wants to roll out but I just can't trust her yet. At least I can listen to my Cummins hum while sitting still.

hethead, you're a much braver man than I and you have my admiration. My GPS kept trying to put me on 95 but I swore I was NOT going anywhere near that rolling disaster area in a vehicle that topped out at 60 m.p.h. downhill with a tailwind ( I still have the stock 11.00 - 20s ). Glad your...

You been a bizzy fella. Hope ya get good head and we soon hear a baritone roar.

On what are you basing your post ? a GM 6.2 is a GM 6.2 no matter what it's in. The "problem" is the accessories, not the engine itself. Eastern is a very good, reputable company. Just wondering where the info came from on your side. I gotta start reading to the end before throwing in...

Went around the rig with a can of Berkebile PFC. Sprayed everything that pivots or rotates that doesn't have a grease Zerk. Found this product at work (parts store). It's "active" ingredient is a lanolin wax (insert sheep joke here). It does NOT wash out. Got my hood "safety" latches freed...

Downpipe off where it broke at the front . . .yet GTG ! ��

And now you know. Just glad it didn't tear anything up.
