    fuel leak at head, making fuel economy even worse

    well Ive had a fuel leak at or around the head that has finally crippled the truck. at first the leak started as an annoyance and could possibly be the culprit behind my hard start issues but more recently i was using it to move myself out of my apartment (and for a number of reasons i had short...

    winch problems

    the dog components are cast and though they are quite beefy i can see how they would be easily damaged through miss use over time (and quite frankly these trucks weren't always treated with due care while in service). engaged all the way its definitely not the weak link in the system but its...

    either the coupling isn't engaging all the way or the surfaces are damaged.

    Camo christmas

    did similar with mine a few weeks back (lights in the bed only) but i just used two 12volt inverters and balanced the load on each, one inverter hooked to each battery, wasn't ideal but worked great.

    what is this?

    turn signal/flssher problem

    im gonna have to run to napa and get a new indicator light for the blinkers to test that theory. it was way too bright and i pulled it out last week, needless to say the bulb broke. i know the blinkers worked after that tho.

    what should i do. drive or haul it.

    i wouldn't recommend driving it, my experience proved its better to have it towed. consider when you get there you may need a number of parts (brake parts, fluids, belts, batteries) just to get it moving and then you still have to contend with the winter weather. some parts can be had at a local...

    turn signal/flssher problem

    kinda random, my either assist started working

    well a quick update, today was back into the mid 30's so for kicks i hit the either to see if it worked and sure enough it did so it would seem it must have been clogged or something.

    kinda random, my either assist started working

    im familiar with the sensor in question (pick up for the temp gauge, i am curious as to why i could hear the actuation of the solenoid when i checked it (warmer weather, 40's) but no either. if it is the case that the either will not work above 30 and im having hard starts above 30 i might have...

    winch and shear pins, ugh!!!

    unfortunately i ran into the problem of self recovery, backing up was not an option or else the winch would not have been needed. i might take a layer off the drum and cut the cable shorter to help in the future.

    kinda random, my either assist started working

    last night was interesting, my horn died but my either assist started working, i doubt there is a connection of course. the horn i will check on a warm day but i imagine maybe frozen condensation in the solenoid. the either is interesting, i have had rough starts below ~35 degrees, usually it...

    Converting to dual alternators

    i like the price of that kit, might do it with two batteries in parallel so i have a spare set if the primaries go down and 12volts too.
