So affix the gauge to the pump or run a hose up thru my window so I can watch it while driving? I ask because i dont know if max pressure is achieved under load during driving or if it be checked with a fast idle while parked?

Moving back inside, I used a 6' fiberglass fish pole thru the washer fluid line hole in the firewall to get the probe wire fished. I tapped power off one of the dash lights using a y-splitter I fabbed up with Packard connectors. I ground it at the bottom of the steering wheel and tidied it...

To complement my dual fuel line mod and to prep for turning up the fuel some more I installed a EGT probe and gauge in my truck. Lots of other threads out there but I took lots of pics so here goes. I choose a Hewitt Industries gauge and custom ordered one direct from them with 0-1600° range...

Thanks for the nice offer and tip. I got it! Jack required and cleaning the crap off the splines probably helped too!

Can't get mine on either I got my old 18" wheel off and can't get my new 20" wheel on. The spring just provides too much resistance. I need to compress it over 1/4" before the nut might have a chance to start. I supporated the column from underneath with a long wood block. I cannot muster the...

Despite reading that a 30" line is long enough and my efforts to make it stretch, the lines just not long enough. I'm going to have to add some extra fittings to make up the length. I'll put a male/male and female/female coupler together to give me the extra length. Here's the finished...

It's taken a month of short nights and even shorter weekends to finish this up but I'm finally done. This has been on my short list of mods since last summer. The actual labor was about 5 hours but easily 2x that when you count trips to the parts store, searching for tools, etc. I went the...

Total bummer, heal fast! I worry all the time about hurting myself working on mine. Everything is big and heavy or requires climbing to service. Seems there is no end to the number of ways to injure oneself. Plus they happen at the most inopportune times too, in the middle of a repair or with...

I can help. PM'd you.

Very cool! Thanks for the lead on the movie. Looks like OK is on the list of states not afraid to show the movie. Going this weekend.

Thanks! This is it.

Also replaced a faulty temp sender and added some DOT tape to my mudflaps. Not appropriate for field use but certainly safer for civi use.

Cleaned and rebuilt 8 marker lights.

Think they only do that in Star Wars...

Awesome input everyone, thanks. I'm gonna cross this off my to fix list and call it a freebie!

Thanks all. It's an A0. Seems to be some different opinions from experienced members, I like it, that means my question isn't stupid. It seems ideally it shouldn't spin at all, but since I can stop it with a 2x4 it might not be a problem, yet. What problem could it manifest into? My truck...

Ugh. Worth fixing now or wait for it to get worse?

So my fan always spins. Read lots of threads and they seem to end with fixing the shutterstat. I was hoping that was my problem but it seems not. I disconnected the air to the shutterstat but the fan continues to turn. I can stop the fan with a 2x4 so the clutch isn't frozen. The TM says notify...

Got a pic or a link to the gauge?

I wish. There's a convenient muffler shop down the road. The guys have done several small projects for me includong a half dozen on my truck. Shortly, maybe tomorrow, i need them to weld a nut to the back of the engine for my dual fuel line mod and a week later I'll use them again to tack the...
