Simplest method if using a 24-12 step down converter is the Orion 70 amp by Victron. It has a built in relay that just requires a 24V signal to turn it on and off. The fan circuit is an easy to access circuit for switched power on a 3 speed truck, and a 4 speed can use that or the input signal...

If you are installing a 12v system, then using a converter like the Victron Orion 70 amp 24-12 converter that has a built in relay to it will disable everything if you have the relay wired to a switched power source like the heater fan circuit. Or you can wire in your own relay. A relay...

You just need the donut.

I think you're confusing these with the keyed ignitions. The links above are just RFID enabled circuits that get installed to kill power to the start box if the RFID chip isn't present. You still keep the OEM paddle ignition switch

Local Les Schwab had the right balancer for larger tires. Doesn't mean others will though. Centramatic balancers will deal with up to 12 oz of imbalance, without having to make sure that inside of the tire is completely clean and dry like a lot of internal balance products require. So...

A few times in the past I've seen where people had issues with the mushroom cap over the intake pip was pressed down too far and caused a restriction. The air filter restriction gauge should tell you if it's something with the air intake or filter, provided the tube going to the gauge from the...

There is a plastic guard that protects the aircon condenser on the newer trucks that can be extended forward/rear to cover the entire area, but that's the only liner type guard that I know of. It probably wouldn't be that hard to have something made out of aluminum at your local sheet...

No specific brand; you just need to make sure that the ATF you use has a DEX III rating on it (most DEX/MERC fluids are DEX III rated, but verify on label) DEX VI is the replacement for DEX III, but that is specifically for automatic transmission applications. In non automatic transmission...

Elma Veteran's Day Parade, McCleary VFW Post 5564 and Auxiliary.

You doing the Auburn parade? I have other commitments tomorrow or I would do it. If you aren't doing anything else Monday, come on down to the Elma Veteran's Day Parade and join that one as well. Even if it's pouring rain we tend to enjoy ourselves (VFW parade entry) More trucks are always...

No pictures, but finally got around to repairing my speedometer that stopped working after I shifted the transfer case while the engine was running... (gee, maybe that's why the manual says to turn off the engine first???) Broke in June, ordered parts in July, and finally repaired it yesterday...

I would say yes it needs to be removed. I'm sure it is possible to do in place somehow, but will be MUCH easier to do on a work bench, and lets you get a better look at everything else going on with the starter.

Rather than self tapping screws, you might consider investing in a rivnut tool and some riv nuts for this. I've lost count of the number of riv nuts I've installed into my truck for mounting various equipment and such. Makes it so you can easily remove and reinstall stuff without causing any...

There is a little metal tag on the wire the burned part is connected to in your picture. The number on the wire tag will tell you what that wire does.

Yup, been there done that. Of course, my booster packs are massive overkill for this application.

I also use the same 5X2 charger, and have it installed under the seat. They are marine rated units, so no way they should ever make any sort of spark exposed to air. Manufacturer states that it is 100% safe to wire to batteries installed in series to each other. It's only flooded lead acid...

There are some in the 500XXX, 600XXX and I think I've seen some in the 700XXX range, but those are all early trucks that have gone through a reset program.

So now I am going to once again plug away at the legality. You can't legally flat tow it without it having operational brakes. Most states it's 3k lbs, some it's as low as 2k lbs, and some up to 5k lbs. Massachusetts allows up to 10k lbs. Missouri seems to be the only state without a...

You obviously know better than the people that wrote the manuals on how to treat your own vehicle. For the rest of us, no, it probably won't cause any issues, but it will affect fuel economy slightly with the extra mass being forced to spin. Short trip it likely won't be noticeable, but it...
