Was the solenoid you put on 24 volt? I can't picture many stores having that in stock. A 12 volt starter will work for a short time, very short time. If you put a 12 volt solenoid on there that is one of the problems. I wish you were closer so I could look it over, it sounds like you have...

You have a bad starter solenoid. That is the small round piece attached to the starter. that is what is causing it to stick, It almost sounds like a lack of lubrication on the bendix but they are not generally lubed. Now you know the wiring to the starter is working. I am thinking you have a bad...

Let me know how you make out on this part, There are no mud holes on the established trails. The mud holes are the reason they are so anal about the rules now. Ernie, I also have a few sets of QQ tags. It has been a while since I got them but the paperwork that comes with them explains the...

That is sounding to me like a bad starter. You went from the main starter wire to the small terminal with the smaller wire on it right? You should get some sparks but not like a dead short. If you just touched it lightly then that might be the cause of a lot of sparks. It sounds to me like the...

I know for a fact that Taylor does in fact but Haggerty does not. That is why I have Haggerty. What I am talking about though is the antique "QQ" registration from NJ. THAT does restrict night time driving and mileage and to and from shows only. Although they do not enforce it you are...

Also make sure you have NO, NONE, ZIPPO alcohol with you. They will inspect coolers and fine by the bottle. If you have QQ tags be prepared to have to leave. Fish and Game has absolutely nothing to do with this so the info they gave you is only half true. This is state forest and the rangers are...

You are not reading my post, You have replaced every hard part available but you still have not dug into the harness. That is where your problem is going to be found. Proper diagnosis before throwing parts at it will save lots of time and money. If you were nearby I would offer to help but I am...

Well I just went back to your very first post. I see that you jumped 24 volts with 12 volts and you had smoke at the frame. There is problem number one. You damaged something, you need to find out what. You are lucky the battery in the jumping vehicle did not blow up! Also you will most likely...

Do a Google search for "wheel winch". That should give you an idea. What comes up shoud be a setup for Jeeps but you will see the principle. Rick

The sand and stone are a good idea if you are getting a half ton of each! The kitty litter...........well leave it for kitty. The timber is a very good idea and one I have used to get a two wheel drive F800 out. Just don't get greedy and try to have too much of the board sticking out. Only put...

John and Adam, glad to see you made it home safely. I wish we had seen the situation with the top while you were here. I had lots of bolts and caulk. Did you get the mirror fixed? I was hoping you would be able to run out the old fuel because it didn't sound like it liked the old stuff. Rick

I haven't heard a thing. I know they were going to stay somewhere last night and head on down the rest of the way today. It is at least a 12 hour drive in a car so figure a lot slower in a truck. Rick

I would offer to guide but I stay away from the woods now since they have made ANY kind of wheeling illegal in the pinelands. If you have QQ tags they will chase you out also since you are obviously not at a show. If you are caught off of the road in the mud they WILL impound your vehicle and...

I thought I posted this last night but I guess it did not go through. Another Fiver is headed to a new home. John and Adam left my place here in NJ yesterday headed to S.C.. That is one Big A** truck! Rick

You has said that you had power at one end of the main starter wire but not at the other, have you replaced that wire yet? If not it seems like you are wasting a lot of time and money. Rick

You got me there but I know when heat is brought into the equation it changes the resistance. I am too tired right now to remember the equations for heat related resistance changes. Rick

I don't exactly know what the load test setting is on your meter. You need a normal VOM and you need to check everything using the engine block as the ground. You should have 24 volts at the buss bar side of the starter cable. You just said it was hot but gave no voltage. Then you said you are...

It sounds to me like you have the cables on the batteries wrong or hooked to the bus bars wrong if you are getting 12 volts at the starter. The meter will show 0 if you are putting 12 volts to it. Make sure your batteries are in series and not parallel. Then make sure you are connected to the...

Just about 90 days on my first. Rick

The 1028 will have a 205 gear drive transfer case where the 1008 has a 208 chain drive. Rick
