    custom battery tray

    So I got my wish sooner then later. Ah couple days after making the first tray the batteries crapped out. They weren't a matched pair. Besides being different brands, one was 950CCA, and the other 925CCA. So I bought ah pair of yellow tops off Ebay and had to remake the whole tray from scratch.

    Glow plug failure

    Well I'm by no means an expert on electrical . But I know the label to which you are referring is for the glow plug relay. And ironically the way to tell if it is shot is by turning on the key, and jumping the two large leads for 10 seconds, then try starting the truck. If it lights off then you...

    Hauled 2000lbs of steel today with the M1028

    Well as my tire guy explained it ,it's ah "bag of shot". He said that some semi trucks use little bags of either rubber or small ball bearings to balance there tires.
