    Both batteries are good but no power across both, HELP

    Okay, FULL STORY. After running around with the truck all day without a problem i bring it home and turn her off. When i go to start her again, all i get is a rapid succession of clicks. i leave the ignition in "on" When i pop the hood i see the batteries have shifted and fell off my makeshift...

    Both batteries are good but no power across both, HELP

    I have, the cable looks intact, i thought of that already, because i have no other idea what it could be. Could the rear battery still be damaged despite testing okay? i mean i saw smoke with by the rear battery with some of this soder like material on top of the battery. But she tested good at...

    M1009 1/2 ton vs 3/4 ton

    As far as i know there is no difference between the k5s and m1009s except the govbomb. Both came with 10bolts and 308s. Think the springs are the same too. Army rated 3/4 but they are really just 1/2 ton

    Ratings for shackles and pintle hook? how to open the hook? And starter ?s

    Yeah i figured the pintle wasnt designed for shock. Was just concerned about the load capacities or the shackes and if i can augment them with the pintle

    Ratings for shackles and pintle hook? how to open the hook? And starter ?s

    First, how much weight can the shackles and pintle take for recovery? And how do you open the pintle, i cant seem to get mine to open. Also, recently got my starter replaced in the shop (it had other problems so i had him just do it) and i kept telling him 24v, says he rebuilt mine. But its...

    Ford CUCV

    True, i also like the gm body style better. Also because there was very little design changes between 73-87 (and to 91 in the k5s). Alot of things throughout the years can swap out easily and theres not too much fab work. The TH400 and SM465 are also known as bulletproof trannys, as well as the...
