How concerned are you all about completely draining the hydraulics during a fluid change?

Guys I need fittings for my new hydraulic tool to go to the hose real. I am having a hard time locating the EATON FD4 to match the hose real. What have you guys found used?

So I had an oopsie. I needed to move some pallets so I installed pallet forks to the loader and then fired up my SEE. I was warming up the truck and working the loader up and down to warm it up but it was really 'notchy' and noisy and slow. So I thought to check the fluid level and as I...

Filler pipe hose to tank is common culprit. I have had 75% of them being bad when I get a new truck.

So looks like I need my Ether setup to work. I ordered the can from Napa but i need help with how it supposed to work. To add complication the knob broke so all I have is the shaft sticking out. So what should I check before i use it?

They are normal but be careful that they don't sell you an off brand that cross references over. The proper ones are metal and rubber. NAPA is a good source.

If you need glow plugs I have the newest versions found in the GEM motors new in boxes for $9@ if you want them.

I run dual A/C and dual heaters in my truck. Both heaters are heater cores. I stay very hot in my four man soft top in the Utah mountains. I also have fuel, coolant, oil and tranny pre-heaters. The fuel heat is also able to run while driving.

I guess grunts arw cheaper than nutserts. I will be rectifying that in lots of places. Shifter is one. Not going to do it before I make the final 5spd vs 6spd decision.

My hood was pretty banged up and bent. After fixing it and such I did not like the loose fit either so I installed adhesive foam gasket material around the entire hood sealing area. It takes up the gaps and requires a bit of tension now to fix the hood. It is still the same attaching method...

I have never seen that floot bracket before. Where did you find that?

I thought the rear curtain went on the inside of the cargo divider? I am trying to seal mine from cold air and wondering how best to do it?

I was referring to the aftermarket kits out there and yes the ones I am making are very similar to the OEM H1 units pictured. They are a little taller on the sides and a lot taller in the wheel well. I am not bolting them to the rockers at all, just in the wheel wells and the frame. Also not...

They are very expensive plus I prefer the natural lines of the rocker and not some tube or boxed extension. Some of the workmanship on this is very nice but just not what I want. I also dont want to make the truck any wider than it already is. A lot of the trails around where I am are already...

I am building a set that are covers that extend 3" up the rocker sides then continue up the wheel wells an additional 12". They are then running all the way to the frame rails under the truck too. If they turn out nice I might build up a jig and make a few more sets too.

I have run a mix of used motor oil and unleaded gas. It works but is dirty.

I live up at altitude and it does get cold. Not often negative numbers but I dont like starting anything that is not pre-heated. Diesels are nasty when cold. Both my daily driver Audi's have all three fluids pre-heated on timers starting a few hours before start times. My fuel consumption is...

I am installing a tranny heater, pan heater and coolant recirculating heater on a 110V circuit with additionally a dual fuel heating system. One heater for the tank and one for the filters that runs on 24V with a dash switch.

Look what I got today. Stanley HYD Chainsaw but with the added Cutoff Saw Conversion kit. Two tools in one! Once I have fittings I will let you guys know how it works. I have a pole fence I need to put in shortly so I think this might come in handy along with the LOWE Auger attachment ;)
