At 30 batteries, you have quite an investment. My battery maintenance log shows 42 group 31, 12 group 8d, 16 group 4d, 51 group 24, and 12 group 65, plus a few others. The truck from Deka comes around about 4 times a year. It helps to know the route driver and area manager by name.

For the manlift I would search your local golfcar shop. Forklifts and floor scrubbers also use deep-discharge batteries.

Turbine oils are formulated to very exacting specs,and designed to last for years with the equipment running 24/7. Oils used come from selected stock, and have few modifiers or additives. Thus they are the closest thing you will get to a "pure' oil. I worked at a plant years back where the...

It is another rehash on 'atomic hydrogen welding'. 80 year old technology. may be suitable for some applications, but as an 'end-all-be-all', not very likely. One can also 'weld, cut, solder and braze' with an acetylene torch.

Ingenuity of thieves sometimes boggles the mind. Case in point, Two years back, during a driving snow storm, a group of thieves cut the radiators from 4 of my trucks, also took my set of cutting torches. $27,000 damage, for maybe 1500 pounds of copper. Same night, another contractor 10 miles...

Check out this; THE BAR STARTER For that matter, look over the whole website, lots of good mechanical info.

Quite a story. I believe this truck is in good hands,your narrative indicates you are above average in the problem solving department.

"The world is full of old Cummins engines, do the research and find the (more or less) right turbo. It's sitting in a junkyard right now waiting on you..." Ditto what abh4 said. Also, get all the manifolds, pipes, crossovers &ect. from the donor engine, finding this stuff piece by piece will...

Ditto, What CT said.

Try it. I don't know if these cases have oil pumps in them like big truck transmissions, but I suspect they don't. This means all lubrication is dependant on gears carrying the lube as they turn. If they are turning slowly, they are not moving much oil. In this instance, overfilling may not...

I've got the picture now, it's the lurch associated with gear clearance/driveline slop. My previous post is not helpful in this matter, please disregard.

If you mean the transfer case jumps to neutral while backing up, this could be as easy as checking the linkages for enough slack, and seeing to the engine and tranny mount bolts being tight. In certain cases, combination of somethings being too loose, and others tight could cause a problem like...

Poconos say hello.

So.....you already knew the answer?

Wish my m51 looked this nice. Where is the 'green with envy' smiley?

Looks reasonably complete from the photo, I notice a lack of 5-tons in your stable, this must be corrected.

I have a hard time believing that deuce weighs 69,000#.
