This is what you need.
In this case the person was getting 12 volts from the lower battery (battery balancer / dual alternator). You would connect the "To Battery 12V Tap" to your 12 volt source.
There's a guy not too far from me that restores "Brass Era" cars (cars made prior to WW-I) which all have babbitt bearing engines.
Few people even know what a babbitt bearing is and very, very few know how to pour and surface them.
Great job!
Spoke with James Beasley from Resthaven, our itinerary on location will be:
9:00 Arrival
10:00 Start of Ceremony
10:30 Air Show!
Mission complete after the air show, we can stay around for a bit if we'd like or move on at that time.
I've been contacted by Resthaven Memory Gardens, in Moore OK, requesting that local MV owners (and their trucks) attend a ceremony to be held about 10:00 AM on Memorial Day at the cemetery.
We have attended several internments for KIA soldiers at Resthaven and they have been very supportive and...
Your circuit won't work.
Go to radio shack and buy 4 cheap diodes (1 amp ones, etc.) and hook up as per your schematic. Nothing will smoke.
Measure the output voltage from the diodes that you label 12v, you'll find that you have 24 volts instead.
The only diode that will flow electricity in...
Neither!
It's a little counter-intuitive, but gasoline doens't burn very well and kerosene is worse!
As we know, a diesel engine burns it's fuel by compressing the air/fuel mixture which causes it to heat up and then "autoignite".
The autoignition temperature of diesel is 410F, but gasoline...
Here's a few more pics.
I almost talked the guys who were driving the wrecker into trading trucks, but the A driver wouldn't go for it!
And no matter how I rotate the images on my computer, they display upside down.... so rotate your monitor accordingly to view!
Tractor supply carries GL-1 oil. If you've never changed the transmission oil, I'd stick with GL-1 (don't mix types).
The attached pic shows the bottle.
When you get home and have time to kill you can read all the "what's the best kind of gear oil to use" threads and decide for yourself...
For those of us who weren't there last year: which high school, they have two.
The school off Rock Creek Road or the one on Main? What time?
Do we need more seating space for Blue Star Mothers?
Looks like I'm good to go!
How many BlueStar mothers are we talking about.
I could bolt down a bunch of those spring-ride HMMWV seats I got from GL in the bed of my bobbed truck. I've got 8 of them with spring bases and I suspect they'd all fit.
I've put 20,000 miles on my truck since I bobbed it and I've had 30w in the transfer case for most of those miles... and it hasn't exploded! I haven't switched over the transmission, for very technical reasons, the fluid is clean and I'm too dang lazy and cheap!
I had to rebuild my transfer...
That joint should have four wires, #10, #15, #11, #11 (yes two #11's).
Look at this diagram: http://www.xm381.com/xm381/TMs_files/WIRING%20SCHEMATIC.pdf
That joint is directly to the left of the "Master Switch" (about the center of the schematic).
The #10 wire is where the power comes in from...
