I see the model is S788. Maybe the difference is the type I or type II designation. I see that the eastern one had type II. Mine is a type I. I thought the number designated size, but there must be some variation by "type".
My ID tag clearly reads S-788. I don't see that on your tags. It appears to say M1152A1. I have an ad under vehicles for sale to see the difference. My computer decided to permanently turn off the power supply and I can't get pictures posted on this Ipad.
Yes. Exactly. Bet there was a big arc when connecting. I would like to have an ammeter on it.
How did it not drain the battery when the negative terminal was connected? I thought the outer part was grounded, so would be direct short.
Looks good!!! Handy!!
In my pick-up I use short pieces 24" of chain permanently attached at the front so I can bring it up and not have to fight the load reaching down.
i could see having them on the outside also, where the fender washers are located (instead of the washers use another...
Two trucks came with the terminals nearly burned off from the seat bottom.
I've used 8D 1400 cca in about 6 trucks. I cut out the hold down loops. Then I use 1/4" wood under them. The old thick bottom wood then is used as side and end spacers. I use wood on top then, to keep the seat...
The inner stab is the positive, but use a continuity tester to confirm it. The arcing you hear may be a loose or corroded connection, does not have to be a short. With dampness, the painted surfaces that are supposed to be non-conductive, become conductive over short distances. Clean the...
I've seen evidence of arcing and corrosion at a few close contact areas in the truck and the jumper. ONe place had only 1/8" and any wetness could flow a low current. Now I clean all terminals and use black silicone to make sure I have at least 1/2" from conductor to conductor, especially in...
Are you building an A frame for carrying things? LEt me know if you want to try my PTO/pump (3.9 cu.in./r)(remember pump speed is 1.5x engine rpm. I have a few for driveshaft left too. I still want your bolster wheels.
Wasn't there a finished out cab, same as this, seats and all that sold on GL not long ago? Had steering column but no steering wheel. I didn't think it was composite, but couldn't tell.
Nice truck !!!
I did the same tire to my M929A2. They are a lot more stable with a load. Did you make any effort to balance them?
My truck came with troop seats in a heap in the back that I took apart and used the uprights with wood to go twice as high. I hauled dirt and large concrete to...
If you wire the solenoid in, you cannot turn it off with the switch. It will stay in on it's own (until the switch is turned off) if you manually push it in each time and do not wire it. But if you've wired it in....it's not that issue.
Then I would suspect a fuel line is letting air in. I would put a fuel tank and line that feeds directly to the pump, bypassing all other fuel lines. The usual spot for a crack is by the fitting that attaches to the pump, because the engine vibrates making small crack in old hose that loses...
Air getting into the fuel line. Or: you haven't manually pushed the electric emergency cutoff solenoid into the energized position and let the arm go into the open position...thus fuel not on.
Weak battery(s) seems to make those solenoids a problem, but they stay in as long as you leave the...
Are my rims the correct ones....they appear to be. They are new, never been mounted, with nuts. Boxes were wet when I got them so I cleaned and put primer, preparing to paint. I have valve stems but the o-rings need new. They are a heavier wheel, in my opinion perfect for the 916A3.
Get...
Wow....I like that. Would make a great dump truck.
If those are 14.00's, then 395's will be sweet. I just put the 395 Michelin XZL around my M929A2 and they are changing my opinion about super singles when loaded heavy.
Excellent choice.
