The 818 prefers to run 45 all day.

I put 4 new NAPA 'largest size automotive' batteries in the M8109, no issues yet. They are 'maintenance free' kind with top posts. I do not get any static from NAPA about their branded items. I wonder who makes them.

Thank you for your comment. I am now using my 'good' notebook computer to view this site while I recover files from my deceased 'beater' PC. To the point, said notebook now has many little bits of rice embedded in the keyboard and a coating of soy sauce on the screen. But that's all right. I'll...

By the time you are done with the project, you will spend more than the $35K the 4x6 was asking. Take my word for it when you start customizing machinery of that size nd using high quality parts doing high quality work, nothing is inexpensive.

Was it ever determined if there is a direct spin-on setup or of machining is required, and the exact PNs for each case? 24067 Wix 4067 NAPA...

The weather suddenly turned below freezing. The 5-ton (cummins) has summer diesel in it. What and how much do I add to the tank, and how long to let it run to completely circulate and mix?

Pontiac rules the road! I used to have a 1970 GTO with tempest front clip, a 400 with an 850 spread bore double pumper with manual secondaries, and edelbrock torquer, 4-speed, and the rear end from a station wagon (2.73?) which was the secret weapon. Made a great show of smoke dumping the clutch...

Exactly. A well fed cat will kill them for sport and has the energy to do so.

It is not hard to convert 3 phase machines to single phase in most cases. There is an old thread here where I covered this in some detail. A 3 phase unit has basically three windings, and you connect two in series as a zizag for one 120V winding and the other becomes the other 120V winding...

This is a usual case, that is, I've had very few instances where members could volunteer, or even come do something for pay. I think it's just the amount of time people have these days, plus the distance between members. That tends to limit help to emergencies. All the work shown here looks...

It will be after the first of the year before I can get the shop to assist in this. It's a matter of all the 18-wheeler truckers wanting their stuff done over the holidays, and that work pays much more than what they will be making off me. Other work on the DieselFitter project is on hold until...

I combined 12/24V systems on my previous M35. I ran three #6 wires from the battery box 0-12-24V points up to a 2-pole contactor and from there to a battery equalizer. The 0 was connected to the 0 terminal of the EQ and the other two were switched. The contactor had 30A/440V AC contacts...

Seeing the tire shop guys scatter before a bouncing 16.00x20 when one of them rolled off the bed is also amusing.

The caddy has loads of low end torque. Either way. Just watch the speed as stated above these trucks don't have the best brakes. It's probably fine to run 60 or even 65 if you leave plenty of room, but overspeeding the drivetrain especially with the double reduction axles increases wear and...

haha visualizing that made me spray whiskey & gummy worms at my CRT!rofl

well, what you did to stop the engine is for emergencies only, and sure it is very hard on the clutch and trans. If you wan to see if the clutch really disengages, chock the wheels put on the parking brake put trans in 4th put transfer in neutral have a helper push in the clutch all the way get...

I don't know about 15K BTU.. What is the deuce heater rated? It was inadequate on the highway at 30 degrees F for me.

this should be a sticky.

Yes it has to be heatsinked but good. That is normal on this kind of thing. This one could be done on a copper spreader or heatsink with a fan if operated in warm environments, or just on an aluminum heatsink. Inquiries for cost could be made to the manufacturer, or ask them who is their...
