    Heater installation PICs?

    RL, You're probably right, but the resistors are EASY to find at Newark and other places, and even with shipping they are probably $10 to $15 for the most expensive ones...so why not.

    MEP002a no start

    you have white smoke, so your shut-off solenoid is not sticking. Glow plugs not working would make it harder to start but shouldn't keep it from starting. Gelling???? water free #2 diesel should withstand temps down to about -10 before you start to experience gelling...has it been that cold...

    MEP-003 strainer question

    Dave, if you have no filters at all, I would buy two filter bases and put on a good 10 micron water separator/filter, and another 10 or 5 micron fuel filter and you should be good to go...the strainer on the original units is way more than 10 microns and the filters are only 10's, so two 10's...

    Start up for MEP-003A

    congrats Jonathan, you'll love your new toy!!!!! if it were mine, I would pull the dipstick, and look at the oil to see what it looks like. If it's fresh, I would turn on the pumps and open the drain cocks for the fuel filters to purge any water from them. Then fire it up to listen for...

    2010 Haspin rally BS thread

    joey, we could meet up in Cambridge and head over to Adam's in Zanesville to meet up with some more people. I am planning on attending this year if at all possible.

    A few good words about g.l.

    I've only had the one bad experience with GL...and that was at the infamous Creekside, OH warehouse. That place is messed up like a soup sandwich

    Heater installation PICs?

    Newark turns up in very few searches I do, but you also have to know where to look for it when you're in the business...we use Newark a LOT for work

    Heater installation PICs?

    Here is some stuff I came up with for you...what I bought from e-pay was a 100 watt ceramic power resistor...very similar to the one shown in the first link below. However there are none on e-pay at the moment that I can see. That being said, you are better off to buy them from a regular...

    how to tell sprag or air?

    I will be the first to admit that the search function of this forum is not the most helpful or user friendly thing at times, but it is useful. No, it wasn't too much caffeine yesterday, it was seeing one too many "dangerous" posts, and I had to say something. I didn't intend to blast...

    firestone t831's

    Now that is a sharp looking truck. What are you running on the rear and front of that truck...the tread patterns are just slightly different...or is it just because of ones being drive tires and the others are steering tires????

    firestone t831's

    Gimp, you are correct, the duals do have a wider footprint, and that did make them go places a little easier than the super singles did...but that deuce with the "stones" even made the other dualies look like they were struggling.

    Steelsoldiers.com survey

    This is slightly off topic, and I'm sorry for the threadjack but........"Ad-Aware" is a FREE program download from lavasoft.com that is a fantastic program for ridding and monitoring you PC for adware. Oh, I haven't seen the pop-up either

    how to tell sprag or air?

    I never said you were being unsafe, or that the manuals are clear...I can see in the manual you are referencing (probably dated September 1980) how you can become confused...it's a misprint. The updated manual dated December 1988 in Work Package 0037 explains the fording kit operation, and...

    Another wonderful day @ Creekside,OH

    "special Ed" or not...that was a funny post, I don't care who you are!!!!!!!!! I can see you now, riding through the mountains of Kentucky with southdave...Icicles hanging from your nose....sayin "I gotta go man!!!"

    how to tell sprag or air?

    My best advice I could give would be to read the darned TM!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the switches and gauges are spelled out and shown in the -10 and had that manual been read, there would be no question about whether it was a sprag or not. I don't mean to sound like an a$$, but you just bought and are...

    flood light setup north carolina help

    so from what you are saying, you have a total of 5000 watts of lighting...3 x 1000 on the tower and 4 x 500 for the portable floods. I haven't bought any for a while...been laid off from work, but at our volume cost we were paying over $50 per for the 500's So a 5KW would run your set-up, but...

    flood light setup north carolina help

    the bulbs are more than likely Metal Halide bulbs...easily found at any electrical supplier, but you will not be happy with the price tag. Most tower lights of that sort are metal halide. The bulbs should have some information on them as to what they are. Also it's easy enough to find out...
