most likely it was a radio power cable.
Without the end on it or a closer look to see what the cables inside look like it's probably 95% or better chance it was for radios.
EDIT: As OBX said, it's likely still connected to power at the batteries, so disconnecting the batteries and removing the...
I'm guessing you say it's the compressor because you only hear the squeal when the aircon is engaged at those speeds, but how do you know it's actually the compressor and not something else in the belts system making noise due to the increased belt load?
Belt squeal or bearing squeal or some...
I have no more faith in optimas these days than I do in the el cheapo wally world specials.
A friend installed one into her Toyota.
At 7 months it was no longer able to start her truck.
Flat top group 24 batteries work with the hold down, no spacers required.
These are 24AGMs from NorthStar, sold through BatteriesPlus.
A bit more expensive than wally world specials, but 48 month full replacement warranty, and being AGM they're just much better to begin with...
I lose track sometimes with all the posts on here, so I was thinking about the plywood in the back of a truck for a snowmobile to sit on when I made my post.
boiled linseed oil has been used for generations to treat wood, so other than the cost there really isn't any reason why you can't use it...
My uncle uses boiled linseed oil thinned down with diesel and a pump sprayer to coat his trailer decking.
Can't honestly say how it actually holds up as I don't visit that often.
One thing to be aware of is some plywood uses water soluble glue, and it starts delaminating if soaked in water for...
They are both variable rate springs, so I don't think you'll find a compression rate for them.
for the -2413 springs, Parttarget has all the info you are asking other than the rate
4.5" inside diameter
15.45" length
1.26" wire diameter...
one thing you might try is using a flashlight at night (or other light source) underneath the dash and look at the outside to see if any light is coming through.
By down out of your dash do you mean in the front where the gauges are, or down underneath where your feet are?
I know mine poured water down on my feet until I sealed all around the plug for the start box.
Open up the hood and see if you see any other holes in that area around the washer...
A others have stated, you do need to verify with the manufacturer before trying this with a charger.
NOCO has specifically stated that their GEN series of multi bank chargers is safe to do this with. Other brands or series of chargers may NOT be safe to use in this manner.
It is MUCH better...
I have the noco gen5x2 hardwired into my truck. If the batteries are too low to start it usually only takes a few hours to bring them up (one advantage of NOT having the unnecessarily large 6T batteries)
Finally got around to mounting the Baja tires I bought from Felts in January. Took them into Les Schwab today to get them balanced.
When checking them in, the guy tried to convince me it's a waste of time to try balancing them, and that I'd be better off with some of their balancing product...
Mine was acting funny, so I ended up removing the pivot piece and have treated it as a non-self cancelling turn signal ever since.
It got really annoying that the lever piece would end up pointing straight into the ring posts, effectively trying to jam the steering wheel from turning back
looking at the pictures it seems like the bottom of the assembly is a different shape than the upper for where the pin is going through, so really not sure if it would still fit in if you tried to flip it upside down. It might work or it might not, but if it were me I wouldn't go into this with...
Now that I think about it, there really shouldn't be any A0/A1 trucks left in the military inventory, so getting rid of the M1101 from inventory would also make sense as they were specifically for the earlier trucks with the lower tow rating.
Not that there's any physical difference between the...
No unit markings on it that I can see (would have been stenciled on the rear unless they've changed something since I was over there) so likely just sat waiting to be needed and never was.
It depends on what compressor you already have, and how much cooling you would like to do.
the compressor that comes in the ECV/REV trucks is sized large enough that it can handle the dual condenser/evaporator system. The Red Dot compressor is also pretty big with how much cooling it can do...
Looking at your profile, looks like you have an A1 truck. If you have the 60 amp generator you're pretty much out of luck trying to use any 24V electric units, because they will not have enough cooling to make it worthwhile (ones I was looking at were rated for 10k btu at 60+ amps draw)
Not...
