Chris, Cranking until oil pressure comes up in itself is not really a good idea. You definitely do not want to keep cranking the engine for more than 10 to 12 seconds (15 MAX), or you will be replacing electronic components. If you are in the dead of winter, you could need to crank it several...

First off, the sparking is NOT normal. If you have sparking then you have some kind of unwanted draw on your batteries. The capacitor is nothing more than a 50 Microfarad 75 volt DC capacitor. Available at just about any place that sells electronics components on the internet. E-bay would...

IIRC the batteries ground through the starter frame and not the grounding lug on the frame. The slave cable grounds at that grounding lug, but from the factory the battery negative cable only goes to the starter mounting frame. The grounds are a possibility, but I'm willing to bet your VR is...

Now you're gonna under cut my prices!!!! You must have a surplus of stock to let one go that cheap :p

I'll sell you a set of horns for only $250...rofl

:ditto: What he said. Could just be a freak thing. If it does it again, try flashing the field after you have it running.

That should fix you up. The capacitor you could have gotten just about anywhere that sells electronic components since it's nothing special. I think Delks got you on that one, but at least you'll have what you need. The VR's seem to be pretty hardy pieces of equipment if you ask me, just DO...

If you got a spark when you put the terminals back on, that means that something is going bad. It's usually the voltage regulator or the capacitor located just beside the regulator. The easiest way to check is to remove the one leg of the capacitor and then try to attach the battery cables...

Way to go Adam. That's a sweet looking addition to the "818 of DEATH". Now, are we going to see a load of Ferro's "special" deuce elixir at the Haspin rally this year, and start a price war with Doc????

Your charging system is over charging. That's why you are going into the red on your battery gauge. Your DC voltage regulator should be only putting out about 28 volts or so, regardless of the state of discharge of the batteries. Anything over that and you are overcharging the batteries...

Glad to hear all went well Tigger!!!! As I told you at the rally, being a parent myself, I am glad that there are heroes like you out there. And if someone without your fast reflexes and selfless thoughts had been involved and the unthinkable had occured, they wouldn't have to worry about...

They were advertising it on the radio stations around Wheeling WV / Steubenville OH area this week. I saw the listings they had also, but not until after I heard the radio ad. I also thought the starting bids would be the normal $150, so I never looked at the stuff again.

There should be 6 small wires going to the main breaker. The main breaker has two different trip ratings. The main rating is 50 amps for the MEP-002a and 100 amps for the MEP-003a (two different breakers). The secondary rating (for the small wires) is 0.75 amps. That trip rating basically...

I don't have any pictures of the set-up I use, but I can describe it pretty well. A lot of people swear you have to use a centrifuge, but I humbly disagree. While a centrifuge will most definitly produce some finely filtered oil, all you are gaining is not changing the truck filters as often...

Adam, I liked the pics from your rare occasion of getting "The 818 OF DEATH" stuck!

Yeah, he managed to snag that part of the quote from "RANDYDIRT" who posted earlier in the thread. If you are going to quote someones post, at least have the common courteous to quote the correct person.

This thread isn't very MV related at all. But I am registered and I do vote. I agree with what Jeff (KsM715) said. If you don't vote, you don't get the right to complain. And since I'm a firm believer in the old saying "The more you complain the longer God lets you live" I have to vote so I...

I ran about 80% WMO and gas on the 1530 mile round trip to the GA rally and back and it ran fine. On a side note, check with your state department of taxation and pay the road taxes on your blend. You'll only need to pay tax on the portion that is not already taxed (the WMO, not the diesel or...

If you are gonna pick a fight this time around, do it with someone smaller than you. Or at least go out with friends who aren't gonna leave you hanging. :-D

Gary, It was a pleasure meeting you, and I am truly sorry to hear about your accident. Take it easy and get better. As Lloyd said, see a Dr. about the headaches. We want you healthy and active for the rally next year.
