Not sure that there is an official amount of time on your monthly run. Just curious to know if everything really gets warm enough? The guys in the building behind ours has a CAT generator that they run for an hour. Their's must be on some sort of timer because at 0900, she fires off and...

It's not a bad day until your rear tire pulls out and passes you are going down the highway.
Somehow I imagine the HMMWV would start dragging axle - while a pickup truck might keep going until it falls over.

Well, happy lurking - and here's an official Welcome to the Outfit - just in case you hadn't gotten one before! Can't wait to see some inside and underside pictures. Really interesting that it is setup with singles and that looks factory. That is all the rage today (or maybe the last 20...

If you want the paper copy, I have the TM version of what, where, and how.
TM9-2320-272-24-1
Key is to search inside the TM's for "stoplight" (without the quotes)

Thanks @cattlerepairman ,
I appreciate the info that you shared. I remember back 40 years ago when it really was called a junk yard. Used to be that I could go out and waunder around the place and find what I wanted, take it off the vehicle. Then I had to hustle it up to their office - a...

I feel sure that @patracy will chime in with more and better answers - but there are a few spots on the forums that none of us has anything more than read access to (for). The Technical Manuals section comes to mind. Lots of sections with known good TMs are stored there as Read Only for...

Yes sir! I agree. Most of us would spend more time trying to find the slide rule than using it!
A story like that brings up the American and Russian discussing their "writing devices" used on spacecraft. The Americans used a pressurized ball point pen that was thousands of dollars each...

Jbulach ,
Generally speaking, I am a really good neighbor. Most times, I will be looking out for my neighbors. Seeing odd people milling around the neighbors house or somebody that I know for sure doesn't belong in the back yard - I will be that nosy neighbor. I will investigate and I...

You may very well be on to something there cucvrus.
Here in the big city, getting good help may just be more difficult.
For YEARS we had an older guy at our local Advance Auto Parts.
He could recognize the part from a vehicle when he saw it on the counter.
That was so nice and he had...

You might even try swapping a bulb that is working into the socket that isn't working - just to see if the bulb is the problem. Yes sir. Testing to the pin in the bottom of the light socket is a good test.
Testing for ground is pretty easy too - but it just seems weird the first time...
.
I guess that could be possible - but that mode of creating the mark would suck in a big way.
Would almost be like creating the timing mark on the harmonic balancer after it is on the truck.
.
Sad but true. Standing behind the counter rather than walking out there with you and looking... Or maybe better yet, here is the belt number you asked for and the next 2 sizes larger and smaller. Don't Know and Don't Care. I can have all the patience with stupid or maybe even plain...

I made a point of being SURE that there was no HOA when I bought my house. Not that I mind people wanting to band together - but I figure I bought it - and it is my patch of dirt. Me and the government... So long as I pay my taxes I get to continue living there.
But a grumpy neighbor, heck...

Socket looked good when you replaced the bulb?
Do you see a ground wire? If not, maybe a short wire with alligator clips on both ends - so you can jump from the housing of a working dash light to the oil light that isn't working?
Other than that, next point to look at is the sending unit...

Sad part is that they are going to work at whatever speed. Not much you can do about it except be unhappy. On the bright side, if you can get your corrections done and into their pipeline - maybe you can beat the Christmas rush and vacations that happen at the end of the year.

Yes sir, and I have figured out that a quick couple of steps toward the truck - so the momentum helps carry me - helps a lot too. Not so much on the back of the wrecker though. You can tell those steps out back were made for young men!
