    Understanding the cooling system in relataion to block heaters (video)

    interesting thought on the ice in a lake . i thought it worked a little different than that .i thought the ice floats for the same reason a ship floats. this being it is a less dense solid and as it trys to force it'self down it has to displace the water since the water weighs more than the ship...

    Deuce removeable hitch

    i wouldnt even say what my thought on the weight rating would be as some of the ss linch squad are always watching:roll:i would just take into consideration the way flat steel bends vs metal with bends in it.also the effect of flexing has on a weld.also the location of the only fixed mounting...

    Autometer pyro

    i'm sure the relays probably have water in them . but even a small draw on one of the batteries over a period of time will draw it down and when the alt trys to charge as it sees the voltage is down.it will charge the front battery more than the other .i suppose i could have just got a crappy...

    Oil drain spacers?

    they are reuseable but if yours are bad you can get them at autozone or any auto part store. they are just oil drain plug gaskets

    M35a2 block heater

    there is a drian on the oil cooler on my engine i'm not sure it is 3/4 inch .it looked more like 1/2 to me when i was up there taking temps yesterday.and even if it is 3/4 inch you still need around 3 inches straight in without anything in the way .i dont know that it is like that in that location

    M35a2 block heater

    putting it anywhere in the coolant is gonna be fine .putting it in the oil cooler housing would probably do a better job heating the oil as well as still heating the coolant .as the hot spot from the heater would be closer to the oil ..i had not thought of putting it there but i like having it...

    Autometer pyro

    i didnt think running relays to run 12volt trailer light would kill my batteries but it did twice. first time is ruined brand new deka 6tl batteries second time it killed autozone dual purpose battteries . after i stopped using the 12volt tap off of the first battery i havent had a problem. i...

    A quiet deuce?

    the bends do come to mind. i was also wondering with a longer pipe if it would effect flow to but i guess it is a bobbed truck and doesnt have that far to go

    1973 m35a2 light problem

    sounds like you may have something shorting out i would look at the wires near the lights in the front where they run through thee grommets. if the insulation was getting weak and cracked . jump pulling the wires a little when changing the light could have made the wires short to eachother

    Why Lift

    i hate body lifts they give more leverage on the body mounts . and make alot of problems .i put a three inch body lift on my bronko it would cause it to shift into different gears when flexed and would make the shroud hit at times . i would not put one on an offroad truck . a street truck i...

    A quiet deuce?

    did you notice any power loose with this mod ?you could make a kit that fit a stock deuce and could be cut dowm for a bobber and i bet alot of guys would be interested

    Autometer pyro

    the batteries on a deuce are in series this gives you 24 volts from 2 12 volt batteries.if they were wired paralel it would still be 12 volts .running things in series does lessen the amp draw to . for instance a 24 volt start uses half the amps as a 12volt starter to do the same job. christmas...

    Winch broke

    wow that really sucks . hope you dont need a whole winch . .i think it would be cool as heellll to have a slip clutch on the winch rather than a shear pin .kind of like they have on bush hogs and tillers

    Autometer pyro

    i know running the wire of one battery will kill the front battery and changes in draw could put the gage at risk running it in series with something of equal draw. there really isnt a way to this safely without a power inverter or running a seperate 12 volt system i would tempt the series...

    Autometer pyro

    i wired my trailer lights for 12 volt like that and i killed two sets of batteries.in the end i cut the wire going to the relays .i still have my power outlet wired in like that but its not something i use all the time .i wouldnt run anything like that if it is gonna be used all the time as it...

    M101A2 Civilian Conversion Build

    what would you be using it for .i think it would be easy to make it fit civvy needs pretty easy.i dont think guys as wound up about modding a trailer as they do about modding a truck:roll:i'm interested in seeing what you do with it

    Autometer pyro

    if you had another item that was 12 volts and has the same draw you could wire them in series and run them off of 24 volts alot of people do that with lights
