That is a good call. Might as well run your differential vents just as high.

Yes, it is off ebay, and it has a 250 amp fuse. The plugs are VERY heavy built. Do you think the fuse will be heavy enough to jump with the recipient truck having dead batteries? It makes sense that it had an other purpose and had the end cut off then they just threw another end in with it...

It is 2/0 wire.

Here's a picture.

I hope I have this in the right forum. Mods, feel free to move it if I have it wrong. Anyway, I picked up a set of slave cables with one end cut off and a big fuse holder inline of the positive cable on the other end. I knew about the cut end before purchasing. My question is, why was the one...

Well, I want to put new kingpin bushings in anyway as I doubt it's ever been done. The washer is going in during assembly.

I lost my "regular" job when Ormet closed, but I bought a small motel that I rent out as apartments to out of town workers. Usually in the gas and oil industry. That and work my M929. I worked at Bridgeport Auto about 15 years ago. I knew the owners.

Do you have anything for sale? You're real close to home!

Thank you very much. Great to hear this from someone who went through the same issue recently. I remember reading where you mentioned the washer but hadn't realized it took just that after everything else you had done.

Put the humvee tires back on that was on the truck when I got it. I think I need new kingpin bushings, as it drove very good with 31s on it, but not very well at all with the 37s. I felt some front end wobble on turns especially. Gotta hope for another somewhat warm day with no rain now.

All the batteries held charge, so it was time to reinstall them. Thought of an easy way to get them in there. Just load them on the CUCV tailgate, and back 'er in close. That made the dreaded lifting of the batteries an easy task. It cranked over very fast on all four batteries.

It was just ran two days before the failed start. Gonna wait one more day now to see how they hold power by both using a voltmeter and then if they kept 12v, by installing all four and cranking the engine.

A couple days back mine needed a jump. I am only running two batteries and until then, even in cold the engine zipped with the starter, so I assumed two were fine. Lesson learned: if it came any way stock, there was a reason so leave it stock. Funny thing is I just got two thinking about putting...

Yeah, my fire in the furnace was about out too. Glad I caught it when I did. Back up to 68 inside now.

Well, I have since figured out the best way to get this started without burning up glow plugs or over revving the engine. I just barely push the throttle and turn the key on until wait light goes out and turn it over for 2-3 seconds and if it don't fire up I LEAVE THE KEY ON and wait a couple...

I had to see how mine would fare with 2°F. She fired right up with a total crank time of about five seconds. I used to shut the key off on a failed fire upon cranking an engine and then back on to try again. Found out with this glow plug diesel to just leave it on if it dont fire on the first...

You know, I was just doing some heavy thinking on this subject of monopoly of military rolling stock and came to the conclusion that the reason it is this way (legally) is most likely because WE set the price. They don't. Other than that, I would think it would be illegal. Only reason this...

I have one tire with a slow leak and if I go a week or more without starting it I have to hit the run flat for ten seconds or so and then hit the highway button again and it'll start airing the tire up. In a week I cant even "see" the tire is low, but I still have to do this.

I did get that number and saw that it was for a 3/4 ton trailer. That got me thinking maybe it was different for an A2, or maybe even an A0.

I never guessed they made any adjustable. I will look. If not I guess it is engineering time. Oh, by the way, the parking brakes work great. The wheels just drug forward with them set and was picking up on the back of the truck in reverse.
