    I have modern single pin slave plugs and I also have 2pin to single pin adapters to make the single pin slave plug compatible with your 2 pin port. $120 for one of each, including shipping. I'm out of town for 3 months beginning Friday morning.

    M998 Rattle Can Camo Questions and thoughts?

    I used rustoleum. Readily available. Not extremely durable, but the underlying CARC is providing your protection, the rattlecan is cosmetic and easily touched up.

    M998 Rattle Can Camo Questions and thoughts?

    I had a truck that had intact but faded CARC, like yours. I started with the idea that I was just going to touch up the black and stop there. I ended up doing the entire truck. I was very pleased with the outcome. I'll be doing it again with other trucks. Do it freehand. The inevitable...

    What engine can i use?

    Agree, and.... My experience over dozens of trucks has been that the 809series 5tons handle speed better than deuces, and 939series trucks handle speed better still. And none of them are suited for a sustained 70mph. That just doesn't leave you any margin. The first surprise has a real...

    Engine oil

    You're almost certainly going to time out the oil before you wear out the oil. Thus the extended drain interval on the synthetic doesn't really help you. My opinion, with a history of being nearly OCD on oil selection, is that the best choice for diesel MVs is any decent oil (I use Rotella...

    MPG vs HP Compromise

    You'd be shocked what you can do for mpg if you go all out. My 1ton pickup truck normally gets 17mpg on a good day, empty, cruising at hwy speeds. (6.7 cummins and 6spd manual transmission) There's a few places in the US where there's a substantial distance between fuel opportunities. Due to...

    MPG vs HP Compromise

    Consider the following- 1) A diesel engine at idle uses very little fuel. If the engine resistance were the primary energy consumer, then you wouldn't see the fuel consumption drop off so drastically. 2) Towing a high surface area lightweight trailer uses considerably more fuel than towing...

    MPG vs HP Compromise

    That directly conflicts with my understanding of it. My experience with aero is bicycle related. At 18mph (IIRC) aerodynamics take over from rolling resistance as the primary impedance. (Bicycles...but should be at least somewhat applicable) And from firsthand experience on a motorcycle...

    Trailer lights {12 volts)

    Put LEDs on the trailers and leave it 24v. The LEDs will work 12 and 24. That's the easiest and best solution.
