    Break-In oil for the low hour MEPS

    Properly breaking in an engine is absolutely critical to long healthy engine life. There is a reason for the 100 hours and it’s not only for the rings to set. It’s for EVERYTHING that’s oiled to set. Sure it will run fine with 15/40w at 5 hours, but it will not last as long before rebuild...

    How much adjustment travel do you have left on GEN 1? It’s hard to tell from the pic. GEN 2 has plenty I see.

    Gov planet 803a price.

    Auction prices are way up! Some sold last auction for crazy prices. I’m in the market for one myself. As already mentioned, buying from a private seller will almost certainly be cheaper.

    M1009 (Also) Turn signal issues

    Mud = water. I would literally take apart every single connector you can and inspect, clean and apply electrical grease. Including grounds. It’s a total PITA, but necessary since the problem will not fix itself. It will get worse most likely since corrosion from moisture will take over more...

    We don’t get much snow anymore, but I would get a brush clearing attachment installed and start clearing land. I just can’t afford one. Especially a CAT. Oh well, I can dream.

    Fuel rail leak

    Look on eBay under 6.2L diesel injectors. There are hose kits using the high quality German made hose. Does not require the use of clamps. Two end caps are included. Maybe end caps available separately. Easy find and fix
