Most of us aren't experienced enough to determine which size wire nut should be combined with our combination of wires. Wago eliminates this guess work. They're good. If you don't like new technology, these are option 2...

The torsional vibration damper is also a rubber item that should be replaced periodically.

The converter should be quite reliable. It's also a common enough item that you don't have to buy it from that manufacturer. Two manufacturers that come to mind immediately are NewMar and Victron. If you want to go cheap Chinese, Mean Well makes the power supplies for a host of companies.

Also, you may want to call that phone number and get a replacement fuse for the 24V terminal.

It's not a resistor, it's a DC to DC converter. Think of it like a transformer. I recently converted my M1008 to serpentine belt using the accessory rack from a 2001 C3500. Your setup is what I wanted to do but was not able to piece together an alternator that could charge at 24V and fit the...

Looks like your truck was done up by these guys for extreme temperature operation. https://www.irv2.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=127915&d=1464019316 Looks basic enough, I see nothing that would make it unreliable. Maybe get a spare voltage regulator if you can. Everything else is off...

I know Benjamin-Moore can color match the FS 595 paint codes. Tell them to search under "US Government". I can't confirm the durability or their Aura exterior paint. I tried their interior because I heard it was harder so it could tolerate scrubbing. I think the opposite is true. It's a...

As an avid motorcycle rider clutch masters and rear brake masters often suddenly don't work one day. Very annoying. European bikes or worse because they use mineral oil in the clutch circuit for whatever reason. Use a volunteer or your phone camera and observe proper movement of the components.

If you cut one of the box filters open you'll see that it has both primary and secondary elements inside as well as a chamber to trap water. They're quite the neat design.

If I have room I just lift the cylinder from one end. Choke the rod and lift to take the load off the top, push the top pin out, lift until the cylinder is nearly vertical and load is off the bottom and push the other pin out. If you need to remove the cylinder in any position but vertical use...

I don't understand the benefit of the FM 100 filters. They eliminate the keys? John Deere uses this type of filter with keyed bases on their current 4045 and 6068 engines. We're not fans because the filters are difficult to install and there is confusion as to which is primary and secondary. The...

You want this to be a an upgrade. The stock filter housing has a bleed screw, it has a primary 10 micron water filtering element and a secondary 6? micron polishing element. It has a water in fuel indicator. Make sure you're new filter has at least these things. The bleeder is a must. I don't...

Be mindful that most of those drain plug kits use a plastic washer which can cold flow from under the bolt head. Look for a kit that uses a metallic washer, dowty washer, or has some type of retaining washer/feature.

When you have hoses adjacent to each other like that you often have to start from one side and remove hoses until you get to the one you need access to. Also, it appears you have hoses with braided reinforcement. Those are for constant pressure applications. A backhoe is an impulse application...

$300 for parts isn't too far off if you're getting Viton o-rings and gaskets.

We used to hear this about the DB2 pumps on the 6.2 diesels used in Desert Storm. They were run on JP fuel instead of diesel. That was assumed to be the cause of the failures. Sandia National Labs got their hands on some failed pumps and sectioned them for analysis. Every single failure was...

Not much to go wrong on the TH400. There is a piston that fails in the valve body but means no engine braking. The NP208 transfer case shift forks wear out. They have a nylon bushing on them and once that goes the aluminum forks are toast slightly after. Neutrals everywhere. Put it in low range...

You can roll the engine any time. No need to remove glow plugs. You can lever it around with a screwdriver in the flywheel teeth or with a wrench on the crankshaft front bolt/pulley lugs depending on engine.

Have you not tried to push the gear back with a screwdriver or something? Have you tried to rotate the engine? It might be seized.

I just bought a running center mount 6.5 on eBay with full accessory rack for $2k. I was mad when I opened it to find valve recession and a worn top deck. Now I feel a lot better about the purchase.
