We usually drill a small hole in the seal, and get a slide hammer with a screw on the end. Screw the screw into the hole and use the slide hammer. If that fails you can cut the old seal and remove in pieces if it is that stuck.
Good post.
Come on you mean the phantom is not still active duty.
I still don't see how a dead battery can pull that many amps. A battery with no load on it just won't accept lots of amps. You can put a charger on a dead battery and set the charger to 60 amps and the battery just won't...
They put a lot of stuff in manuals to CYA..I see it all the time.
Have you ever seen the current draw on a 18k lb winch. If what you are saying is correct then every 5 ton with an electric winch would fry its electrical system when they used it. They pull 278amps at full load. Please don't say...
I don't believe this is the cause. I believe many people have burned up generators, but I believe that was because the where bad to begin with. A generator is not a complex device, what exactly are you burning up inside it?
I would be willing to bet those cases the generator was probably part of the reason why the batteries where dead in the first place. The big pull on the weak/bad generator just was too much for it to handle. Weak batteries won't take lots of amps no matter how much you put on them. The only way...
Not saying things don't happen, but they are almost always the result of a messed up system. If a weak battery hurts your alternator than you have other issues with the truck. Like I said something like a internally shorted battery could cause issues. A bad regulator could hurt things, but this...
I don't buy that. I have a extensive background in things like this. Been a aviation A&P for over 20 years now. A battery (unless it is shorted will not cause a alternator to fail). A bad battery will just refuse to take a charge and will not be any load on a electrical system. Since he knows...
I have jumped many vehicles in my life and never seen a weak battery cause failure to a alternator, or generator. Jump it and go. If the battery is truly bad, then it will not accept more charge, and therefore will cause no increase in work for the alternator. Charging does not ham an alternator.
My A2 with CTIS rides just fine at over 60. Only time I had a bounce was when I had a flat and could not move the counter weight over to the spare, and anything over 45 was horrible.
A few of the welds are ugly, but here is the mount. The top part still slides off the base, so if I don't need it I can lay it in the bed. There is also another mount that can't really be seen in the pic, but it is just like the one going to the right side, but it goes forward. It is made with 3...
I built a little hoist for my truck. Did not have a way to get heavy items in the back and I have to go and pick up 4 tires this week. This should do it.
And I think I want to mount my spare air tank right here. Let me know if it is a mistake or not.
