Yes it was! This last one anyway. No problem!

I don't see you having much of a problem or getting anything in the galley accidentally. All of my plugs have come out with minimal effort, including cooling jacket plugs.

It could be, but putting steam inside the cab is almost a sure sign of core failure. I'm sure he looked to see when he saw the coolant flowing out of the heater box.

Be careful if and when you try to solder it. Some solders and fluxes destroy aluminum.

Looks awfully complete and actually nice for a truck you are going to cut up...

Are you unable to solder yours where it failed?

That is a very expensive mistake he made there. Best wishes to him.

They are glass roll up. Just like an old Chevy.

That would probably be enough.

Do you have the big brick sized voltage regulator on your truck?

1/8" is not structural steel for much more than floorboards and rocker panels. That bumper you built looks good, but I wouldn't subject it to any abuse.

Look into some HMMWV wheels maybe?

Most 5 tons that won't start with a jump just need the fuel system bled and they fire right up. I've only had one so far that I couldn't start and it had melted pistons in it. And I've probably recovered close to 100 trucks last year and one today. The one today was a " no start with jump, no...

Then use the 4 cylinder Perkins. Should be just the ticket. I use my wrecker nearly every day, but mine has a real motor.

The gauges aren't always accurate, and are sometimes way off. If your lights keep going out randomly and coming back I would look for shorts to ground in the lighting circuit and replace the three lever light switch. There are circuit breakers I the switch that are subject to failure. My truck...

Well, it appears you have a generator...

Very unlikely you have a generator. The alternators say " generator" on the data plate but they aren't. They have a metal fan either mounted front, or more commonly with the prestolite type, in the center of the case.

It should burn A gallon an hour. Not like you'd use the crane for four hours at a time though. 20- 30 minutes and you would be done and loaded and on your way I imagine. And it certainly wouldn't be ever lacking in power.

Man, just run the stuff off a pto. Having the truck running doesn't burn that much fuel and it is a whole lot simpler. You are overthinking things.

29.4 volts is fine. I've been running mine ( intentionally) right at 29.8-30 volts for a year now and the batteries are fine, so are all the electronics. You won start burning things up until you get up around 32-34 volts. Factory charging setting is already up at 28.6 volts so you aren't far...
