This entry is an F up.

It is in the sticky, and yes you can get it at NAPA.

Open circuit battery voltage means almost nothing. Best battery health indicator is to measure the voltage drop under load during cranking. From your YouTube video, it seems like bad batteries. The CCA rating of a battery is a measure of how much current the battery can put out for a specific...

That starter can pull up to 1000 amps, so use something with an insulated handle if you are going to do this to keep from burning your hand (will likely get hot).

I should have traded you a new starter for the LED lights! The PCB is working since it will engage the starter. Measure battery voltage at the starter terminals where the battery cables connect to it. During an attempt to crank, battery voltage should not drop below 20V. If it stays at 20V...

Coffey1 that looks really sharp. I would like to follow the same, but am concerned with the tailgate as andy3 mentioned. Could the gate opening issue be alleviated by simply flipping the roller fairlead over and mounting it on the inside of the plate, vs the outside? I have not thought it...

Thanks a bunch. There are a lot of good ideas here. Since I already have a telescoping boom type crane (spare tire hoist) in my M925A2, I may try to clone gimpyrobb's idea, and make it swivel. Would be nice if somebody made a drop in roller or ball bearing one could sandwich between the plates.

Time to add a bed crane to my 925A2. Would love a knuckle boom, but don't want the weight. So, that brings us to a bed mounted crane. I am so far considering this 2000lb galvanized unit, and replace the hand crank winch with a powered one. Looking for ideas of what others have done/used...

Want to add an overhead curved LED light bar to my 925A2, but the widest (eBay) ones seem to be about 50"-53". That is shy of the 66" cab width and may look kind of goofy. So, I am thinking about purchasing two of the smaller, say 33" light bars, and simply mounting them end-to-end. Most of...

When you say you hooked it up to the primer, does that mean before or after the mechanical lift pump (since the primer button is part of the lift pump). Regardless, your problem is either the lift pump, fuel filter/housing, suction line, or dip tube within the tank. Next, run a hose from the...

Since it is an 8.3 and 24V, it won't require that much current to start. Use one running 12V vehicle, and a second stand alone fully charged battery in series with the jumper cables to get 24V. This will require 2 sets of jumper cables to do. You could also disconnect the jumper battery cable...

Yes, most likely the solenoid bus bar inside stuck. This is a copper bar just under the solenoid cap that connects the battery B+ cable to the starter motor when the starter is engaged. The point of the starter being just re-man'ed is interesting. A lot of starter reman parts are now...

Says the guy who has actually rolled his MV over!

You said external regulator in your original posting.

Can I ask for more info/pics on the roof mount AC unit? I want one badly (would buy yours if selling!). Thanks.

Mine was a diode I think on the ground side of the horn under hood. Try that also. Points to WildChild467 for finding and fixing it for me.

Anybody know the recommended max and absolute do-not-exceed driving angle? For example, when driving along the side of a hill. I hope to install an angle indicator, and use it accordingly. Guessing it to be different per vehicle type (less for wrecker, for example).

When you are pressing the prime button, the spray you normally hear is the pressure relief bypass valve opening on the injection pump, it is not spraying into an injector. Just FYI to help your understanding, which helps troubleshooting. When you are pressurizing the tank with air, the cracks...
