Or in the interim, round up a cat tech, take the truck to them and have them scan it and analyze what the code is when the switch is engaged. The cost of one session however could equal the cost of the laptop and interface to start doing it yourself… The ECU provides the power to control the...

Yea, what general said. Way too many things can drive that light…

I think it shows his large gauge wire run for the inverter. Thats a 4KW inverter, needs BEEEG cables:)

My old ones hung out the bottom, looked like they had been used as a cat scratcher:)

Well its only 250W or ~10A@24V, You could probably get it from under the power panel. You could probably sample it from the 24V ign point on the power panel with no issue. Then it would be available when ign was on. You could also draw power from the 24v batt terminal on the power panel and...

you probably couldnt use it with the inline primer though, as it would not allow enough flow. That is why our primer setups have that flapper bypass valve, the lift pump moves a lot of fuel. I ran my return into a bucket once while testing, i didnt time it, but it put fuel in the bucket...

Pre-made -6 jic lines in various lengths are common stocked items in a lot of places. I bought a set at surplus center…

Did you put the return into your can? These things circulate a ton more fuel than they actually burn:)

Yea i have never played with a solargizer, but routinely get more than 10 years out of my batteries as I did with the generator sets I maintained. I have a tractor battery closing in on 17 years now(original battery on the tractor purchased new in 06). Thought I had an issue with it this...

And that is another battery failure mode. You know the difference between a 36 month battery and a 48 month battery? It is the depth of the battery sump under the plates where the flakes and scale from the plates collect.:) This scale builds up until it shorts the plates… So for all you...

The fuel lines are -6 JIC…

Got a break in the rain showers long enough to run a load test. Needed to run the truck anyway:) Every alt I have ever worked with had a spec of +/- 0.5V. I have always assumed that to include/apply up to full load/output, and that has always been my experience. Setup: I no longer have a...

The seal between the primary filter and the water separator bowl is also a common place for leaks, that and cracks in the old bowls. You need to be able to pull a Vacume from tank all the way to the lift pump on the governor…

Should be no problem running without it. Are you sure that dash light is “CTIS OFF“? There is a CTIS overspeed light in the dash and CTIS will light this light when you go too fast for a particular tire pressure, then it will initiate an automatic inflate to get to the appropriate pressure for...

Yea they ran out of the older alts at some point, and you will find some A0 trucks with the newer alt if they had a failure…

@chucky its an A0, so probably no lights on the alternator/regulator… A bad connection can do the same thing to the run solenoid on the governor…

The primer doesnt have a “plunger” other than that handle that is part of the diaphragm assembly. If you hold a seal on the inlet and push the black button in, it will stay in if it is sealed. Just took a vid of mine, stays in untill I remove my finger… give me a bit to upload it… ok, here...

You should be able to get fuel at every fitting after the primer when pumping. If the primer is working, you should be able to pump fuel completely thru the system in under 40 or so pump strokes if the filters are full of fuel. In the first vid I showed a plug on top of the secondary filter...

It does sound like fuel. If you pump the system full of fuel you should have a firm primer bulb, as you hydraulically push fuel past the pressure regulator. You should be able to hear fuel falling back into the tank from the return line as you pump if its quiet. it is also redicously easy for...

Battery AH capacity is a factor of the volume of electrolyte. A battery with 1 gallon of electrolyte and 100 sq/in of plate surface area has the same AH capacity as a battery with 1 gal of electrolyte and 1000 sq/in of plate surface. Plate surface area determines current capacity(both in and...
