Running around on fire with flaming hornets attacking you, day can't get much worse than that. I have personally seen three deaths associated with tires. The one mentioned in this thread and two at a small tire shop in my town. I was on the emergency squad so I got to see every accident in town...

Check your entire ground return path. Starter to block, block to battery. Any one of those connections with excess resistance can cause low cranking voltage which will heat up the solenoids. Same with the power connections but I am guessing you already checked them. These checks need to be done...

I have to disagree with the ether trick. I used to do it a lot when I had a 4x4 shop in the 70's, until I went on a squad call where a tire blew up. I can tell you it was not pretty, the guy was just about cut in half! I did some research on it and found out it is VERY dangerous. All it takes is...

Jumper cable from big wire on one side to big wire on other side.

Nice looking truck. The one thing that would worry me is tires, did you see how the left front rose up as it started to move? That tire has been sitting flt for a while and is a risk to pop. The CTIS display appeared to be dead but by the end of the video the front tire seemed to have come up...

I am far from an authority on deuces but aren't the tires all mounted backwards? Rick

Although I don't live far from Ong's hat I seldom go that way. When I need to go out to the circle I go through Country Lakes. I live right on the Fort Dix ranges. I assume you were from this area? Rick

What you are referring to as a roll cage is actually just a brush guard. Would not help in a rollover. Rick

Good guy to contact. He is based in NJ so close by. Mike Pop mpop5555@aol.com

You guys are forgetting all of the electronics involved with a powerstroke. That is a LOT of wiring. The 7.3 idi is another story, all manual injection. Rick

Sorry to hear that, I lost a dog the same way a couple of years ago and it is real hard. Anyone who has not had that happen has no idea how tough it is. You always second guess yourself thinking there was maybe something you could have done. Rick

The gears on diesels are not always high, usually just the opposite. The highest you will find is likely 3.55. The most common will be 4.10 and if is was a stake or mini dump they could be 4.56. Rick

Will do.:beer:

Great, I might finally get to meet you. What space are you in? Rick

Looking for plastic water cans. Anyone? Rick

The club I used to belong to was doing cleanups 20+ years ago. It does not matter because what the hikers and horse peopple see are the azzholes tearing the place up. Every kid that has a 4X4 has to show he can go further than the other guy. We used to have a couple of spots that we played in...
