Did you check your differential fluids after fording. Perform a grease service on everything? The original rubber hoses on the diff vents will be old and cracked unless you replaced them with new ones. Water has a nasty habit of finding its way into everything.

Install support bracket ASAP! One good pothole and your starter will be hanging down from the wires. Busted block and/or snapped starter bolts will result. Also do not reuse the starter bolts. They are one time use only. ACDelco still makes them and their not expensive at all. Install the...

Odyssey 6T battery’s are the civilian Hawkers. Best battery on the market. Expensive yes, but you get what you pay for. With the the exception of my CUCVs (Hawkers in those), I run red top optima battery’s in every Vehicle and tractor I own. Can’t afford that many Odyssey battery’s. I...

So how much did the shock, 1844-2, from Mendenhall Industries cost? Their website doesn’t say. Croft Trailer has the lowest price available that I’m aware of.

Generators are machines and things happen. The key here is you troubleshooted, identified the problem and corrected the issue. SS is an excellent resource and you utilized said resource. As a result, you had power when it was needed most. You would be amazed on how many people simply cannot...
