-Hanley I've just finished day 2 driving with mine installed and no leaks as of yet, quite surprised, I did not follow the tightening instructions as I do not have a torque wrench that will reliably read that low just used a nut driver and figured I probably couldn't over tighten it that way...

Alright so the postman delivered it today and I got it installed plan on driving it for a couple days before plugging it in. Just a note might be obvious for some but when removing these things the spreader bar assembly will just pop off into your block if you turn the screw too many times, I...

Well due to the frosty conditions north of me the heater did not arrive today not sure when it will arrive but I will update when it does.

Well sounds like I did indeed just get overzealous most likely, sadly not uncommon. At any rate the new one is supposed to get here tomorrow so shall see, looking forward to seeing the tank heater install was going to do one of those but could not for the life of me figure out how the heat was...

Ok I've been thinking about doing the Roscommon where you have 2 isolated systems for awhile to run a large inverter good to hear that it works well.

I'm sure you have posted before but what 12v conversion did you do?

I don't believe so judging by the noises it made I'm thinking it just burnt out I will update this when I get the new one and pull this one out.

Alright just needed some confirmation guess I shall order another one and next time take it for a drive before plugging it in didn't think it took that much motor work / jostling to get the air out of it but that seems like the only reasonable explanation.

Well got a few questions now I plugged it in and there were some audible gurgling noises and whatnot didn't think much of it, went out a little while ago and the block is still stone cold I ohm'd the element and it read 1 which means open circuit I believe. So assuming it is burnt out I assume...

Ok so turned out colder today but got the heater in anyway is a Kats 11612. It took quite a bit of shoving to get it to go flush with the hole and only went with the element pointed up, not sure if this was where it had room or when I finally pushed hard enough. After what is hopefully the last...

Starting to get cold here and figured it would be a good idea to install one of the freeze plug heaters. Getting the old plug out was a bit of a hassle never could get it to turn and poked a hole in it so just shoved it through and pulled it back out. I'll post more pics tomorrow after I get the...

Looks like a awesome build looking forward to seeing how you attach all the cab controls.

good looking truck now that its in green gonna make someone happy

Just my 2 cents but if you are getting a click from what I would imagine is the doghead relay I would try and verify that it is passing the 24v signal through the relay when closed and then proceed start looking at the starter and see if the signal makes it to the solenoid.

To me that sounds like actual engine trouble but hopefully one of the more knowledgeable people will chime in here as I would just be guessing at this point, best of luck to you though.

Just to clarify is it a rattle at idle or a rattle and rough idle just wondering how the rattle and gain in power go together or if they are separate.

Enjoy the new truck looks good, just want to second the don't work on it in a hurry/mad these trucks can be stubborn at times.

Jealous the dually just look cool just give her a little love and paint.

I don't know how relevant this is but when I used to have a pinzgauer we used little rubber things that you threaded a bolt into and they would squish up like a rivet to attach a radio, can get them in a variety of sizes and some would hold some fairly large loads with just a simple hole in the...

Wow never seen a vise break like that, never had one stuck that bad only thing I can think of is heat it up and try a bigger hammer. Best of luck to you.
