Data tag says 1970. I havn't cleaned out a frame number, ignorance is bliss, cause if there's only one vin on the truck, then only one vin constitutes a proper vin inspection without carving up the undercoating, which for now looks very consistant and untouched around the area in question. I'm...
I'm just wondering about a couple of things.
There's two bolt holes just in front of the driver's door, I'm wondering what would have attached there. There are no matching ones on the passenger side.
There's two holes in the bumper, I'm also wondering what those might be for.
There's a data...
It's a dumb device. It just pumps out electrons. The more the draw from the load, the more it drags the voltage down. The less the draw, the more the voltage raises.
Battery voltage raises with state of charge. It'll draw more and more (up to what the panel can produce) when the voltage is...
They can be successfully knocked on to the spindle with just a brass drift. I did so. No issues. However, I do see the possibility of issues if one doesn't use due caution and a bit of restraint with the swing press. A little poking around a plumbing store (or probably the home desperate)...
Ditto! Rusted steel lines don't bend like new lines. If you can't get the nut free with a reasonable effort, the line should go the same way as the hose. Even if it's trustworthy now in it's current state, after the abuse of separating it it will no longer be trustworthy. Brake lines are...
I made shims. Not exactly high tech, I'm quite sure they're not as good of a solution as new seats, but I'm also quite sure that these are much more in my budget. Helps keep my seat in the seat so I'm not trying to support myself with my legs while driving. The front is one and a quarter...
I did the same this spring-
Carried a cord and change (two and change before I split it) back from the lot stacked in neat piles. How easier to unload than to just let the dropside down on a side hill, right? Dang I'm a genius. Yeah, my truck looked like yours. So I threw in seals. (And...
I got one of those, used. Seems the previous user discovered that the square end (13/16") will still kind of fit the three quarter inch impact gun. Still works just as it should, but it does bugger it up inside the square hole pretty well.
I wonder..............
The blades always angle the right direction, but they are obviously curved and more efficient in the correct direction. I wonder how much less efficient both in terms of air flow and in terms of drag on the engine, if one were to "flip the fan" for the cooler months when...
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Bad Brake Light Switch?
Question- In the first post, you said that the brake lights AND the blackout brake lights were stuck on? Does this mean both at once, or does this mean whichever mode you selected would remain stuck on?
If that sort of thing bothers you, check into some of the regulations regarding compression fittings.
If that doesn't bother you, then look at the original compression fittings compared to what's at the hardware store.
Either way, flares are better...
Re: RE: Splicing the M35a2 Trailer Plug
As you practice your skills with the volt meter, consider an alligator clamp or two for your jumper wire. It'll be the greatest addition to your electrical troubleshooting kit since the volt meter.
OOhhh, the electrical innocence that comes from not...
No, that isn't the gun for this. Understand that impact guns do not work the same way as torque wrenches (or regular wrenches for that matter). A gun that is rated at 300 pounds will deliver a hundred and fifty to two hundred pounds "in the real world", and be very adversely affected by rusted...
Re: Pictures ROVIS / AN/VIC-3 system (Intercom System) NEED
Double check that- If that were accurate, when it were hooked up it would discharge a fully charged battery down to about a twenty five to thirty percent state of charge. It might be that while it's hooked up and boosting, but the...
My guess would be in part that may be the case. In part, it would be easy to forsee abuse from "modern" drivers not understanding the importance of the startup and shutdown idle period on an engine with a not so modern design. In part, I believe it's because they sit too much with too little...
Burst pressure measures the absolute system pressure that will burst the can. You're right, I don't think that'll be an issue at 250 pounds, although much higher can be had in interchangable filters if one were so inclined. The media inside the can however is not even remotely close to that...
The TM advice is the best I can offer on the torque specs. As for doing just one head, this is not a shortcut, this is pretty much standard practice on most any engine with multiple heads. The only reason I would worry is if there were something wrong with the head requiring it to be milled...
Yes, they have discussed this, with a pretty successful installation. Try Hydroboost and/or Hydromax in the search engine, if you don't get anything that way, break them into two words. Good info with lots of pics is already here.
