When diagnosing the A/C Ether switch I discovered the Ether
Solenoid was all rusted up. It is so bad I opt'd to just replace anew.

Yes I know it is not supposed to work unless it is 50* F or under
AND the starter is turning. When under 50 and starter is turning
I believe it will deliver 5cc of ether for each push of the button,
as I understand it.

It is made by KATS Heaters / Five Star Manufacturing.
The P/N = 33105

There are several flavors of these widgets.

KATS Catalog 2015

NAPA has it for $89.xx, oriellys matched that.

M915 and up series data plates / sun visor stickers converted to data plates

I AM LOOKING FOR FOLKS TO HELP SHARE EXPENSES
to get some of the stickers that fall off duplicated into
an aluminum data plate. Stickers will just keep failing.

If by chance a bunch of guys want these I will take a
deposit and order and just sell at almost cost.

I was really lucky, my M916 is really complete and
the reset was extremely through. I even had informative
and instructional stickers on the sun visor, now those stickers
are falling off.

They can be duplicated pretty cheap, if I can get even one
guy to split the cost it is a big difference.

........................

I changed the size of things to be somewhat symmetrical.

There are at least 5 plates I would want to do for now;

The yellow NOSPIN Detroit locker is 5” wide x 4.5’ tall
The brown TRANSMISSION OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS is 6” wide x 4.5’ tall (7155)
The white VEHICLE NOISE EMISSION..is 8” wide x 4.5” tall
The white POWER TAKE OFF is 8” wide x 4.5” tall
The white Jacobs RETARDER is 6" wide and 4.5" tall

......................................

The end product will be Aluminum data plates w/ 4 holes from a SS vendor.

Here is what I would like, the pink coloring will be deleted of course.

Might be a little off subject but will say this
I did a group buy with Artisan awhile back.
He ran the show, did all the work, kept me informed & stayed on top of everything until deal was done.
I wouldn't hesitate to jump into another deal with him.

John,

THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORAL IMPROVES.


A moderator, Sir Gringletube" whom is a great guy but whom is only enforcing
rulez written by the scared, trashed me over this and edited my original post muzzling me HARD,
in my OWN THREAD.

I have a SERIOUS issue w/ anyone editing my penmanship. SERIOUS!

I did not think for one second I was BREAKING SS "LAW", seriously.

I guess it matters not I was loosing money and just trying to help people
in MY THREAD and NOT wanting to bring this to the world in CLASSIFIEDS.

I am beyond myself in disbelieve at this moment John.
You know the history more than most sir. tell me I am wrong
and I will dissolve back into the hole from where I came, sir
but I am SURE you can not fault me.

Gringletube, you are awesome?, THANK U for not punishing me w/ a
rules violation THAT LASTs ONE YEAR , but this just pushed me over the
proverbial edge.

This forum is doomed and THAT is sad. The rulez are way too restricting
for this Patriot. I can take a hint, I am not wanted on the SS list, the
oppression is massive. I do NOT deserve these trashing's. Your house
your rules shame on me for vocalizing?

If you only knew the underlying story.
Call and I will oblige....

We did some Cat shifters a few years ago.
I thought it had gotten better, I guess not !
Some people can't handle "power" LOL.
I will contact you about another matter.
Talk to you soon.

Good luck !

Not sure I got the whole picture here:

- Is the thread here unravelling or something?

What's the story; are you going to shut it down yourself, Artisan? I hope not, but do what you think you need to do.

Give me a call Ahab but the semi-short story is this;

The nit-picking, alleged rulez violating, "AZZumptions" is over the top, oppressive.
Being treated liked an ISIL operative that is
seeking info to repair a Humvee is just effin' WRONG!

I AM NOT THE ENEMY, I only seek to make this list GREATER, period.

I will NOT be muzzled w/o good cause less I am BAN'd.
FOR WHAT?
Being a good guy?, or because some mod "following the MASSIVE rulez list" is IGNORANT! ?
H E L L O !

I have been a HUGE/MASSIVE SUPPORTER of this forum for going
on two years. I have spent 100's, literally, 100's of hours CREATING this thread ALONE,
making it the GO-TO thread for the ENTIRE M915 Series of trucks throughout the land,
and by land I mean The ENTIRE USofA"." +
THAT SAYS VOLUMNS.

Just go look at the view count for this thread,
it is approaching 22 THOUSAND views and "I" am the sole
person adding quality content! H E L L O !

Guess who reads this thread looking for help? LOL!
You would be VERY surprised. I know this by way
of the men whom call me direct. www.plumbers.cc is me.


To have ANY young or old, buck of a moderator tell ME I am an
idiot by way of any punishing action(s) makes me FURIOUS.

I AM NOT THE ENEMY.

MY SUCCESSFUL THREAD = MY HOUSE, PERIOD.

I use to spend 2 hrs a day helping others members with their mechanical issues and posting well thought out improvements to our trucks. I was stalked and baited into arguments by moderators. Like lots of others guys, I stopped spending time here.
ARTISAN, I want to thank you for your well thought out improvements and well written thread. Keep up the good work and don't let the BS change who you are.

Warning, "Verbose" ahead... :)

Hey Ya'll ,

__We need to have a heart to heart here;

(M916 specific info at the end) HA!

The people whom have contacted me off list in support of my position is phenomenal.
I do understand why so many are so hesitant to sound off here, you ARE AFRAID
OF BEING BLACKLISTED / BAN'D and THAT is a serious flaw here gentlemen.
To live in a society/forum, where you are afraid to speak, is so VERY wrong.

I am a public guy, my email is steelsoldiers@plumbers.cc
Comments off list are welcome and will remain confidential ya'll.

IMHO this thread belongs to me, period. It is MY HOUSE, for the MOST part, I am the
sole contributor. This thread is approaching an amazing TWENTY TWO THOUSAND views folks. I built
it within the confines of the SS walls, best as I could. Granted SS hosts it and we need to try
to keep our posts within the MASSIVE RULEs set, the Plethora of rules and
regulations they demand upon us, but as we all know there are so many silly rules it
is really hard to remember them all, especially when we consider this forum
to be a place where we come to recreate
, not a place whereas every corner we turn a mod
says, in essence, SHOW ME Zee PAPERS! Not a place where we need to worry
if our skin color or race will be the next thing to get us ban'd! Not a place where
if we do not list our home address PERFECT, we will get a rules infraction
accompanied w/ a one year probationary watch, a full blow SS RAP SHEET is exactly
what they keep on us it is. Want me to show you????

The noose is wayyyyyy to tight... the rules are such that GOOD men are AFRAID
to mouth off like I WILL, for fear of BANISHMENT. My GOD, just listen
to what I just wrote, and it is SO TRUE!

H E L L O !


THE LAWS FOR LEGIT MEMBERS NEED TO BE RELAXED. Period.


Having said this we need to move on gents. I do believe the powers that be have
heard us and I do believe they are doing "something?" about it. Case and point,
mod Doghead (Eric) has backed away BIG TIME and we rarely see his relentless wrath
anymore. Additionally I have expressed my disgust behind the scenes w/
many a man in the SS drivers seat(s) recently, and FWIW, I am still here. Do I gloat? no,
I PRAY, that is a fact, I PRAY because if I did NOT CARE about this forum I would
have been so gone a VERY long time ago. This forum needs to PROSPER, but
berating, baiting, chastising and trashing quality members over frivolous rules
will ONLY lead to its ultimate demise. Ask me how I know? I have quizzed MANY
an old timer about this list and the amount of men whom have walked because
of the way the mods trashing them is HUGE! Huge I say! I have done a couple of poles!
No conjecture, JUST FACTS!

Before I moved to the SS forum I was spending all my time over at the Tractorbynet forum.
That forum does NOT thrash its members anywhere near like this forum does
and the membership count there is like TRIPLE! I dare you to CLICK HERE Yep, out
of ALMOST 300,000 members, I was picked as a member of the month. What
an honor. I can't tell you how uplifting that experience was / is. Then I decided
to move the SS list and immediately I was jumped HARD by a couple mods
whom TRASHED me hard, even proclaiming; " THIS IS NOT THE TRACTOR FORUM "dude",
DO IT OUR WAY OR LEAVE" . Go look it up in the archives, that is very close
to the verbatim I suffered through.

I have been accused by more that one, of "overreacting" on the recent editing
of my post (#463) where I sought help to make data plates for the M915 series trucks
in this thread. NEVER did I think I was doing this forum a disservice by trying
to find like minded folks to pool our resources and make some data plates, understand
whereas I was doing this service for COST, not profit mind you, basically for free and
in the end I would end up loosing a few dollars, but admonished I was.

I did thank the mod for not instantly
giving me a 1 year probationary SITE INFRACTION. BTW, All infractions are RECORDED
and kept in your PERNAMNET DISAPLINARY FOLDER here guys. YOUR SS RAP SHEET! THAT ALONE is enough
to make ANY MANS BLOOD BOIL, especially when this a forum where we come to play, to socialize
a place to have fun, NOT A PLACE TO BE WORRIED IF I JUMP OFF THE SWING TOO
HIGH I WILL GET The PADDLE! Think real about that, unfortunately THAT is what it has turned into.

Now, here is what you do not know and why I came / am so unglued over a mod EDITING MY WORDS
in post #463 where I sought guys to help make data plates, WITH OUT MarkUp / with out Profit too!
Just a few weeks ago, in the CHAPLINS CORNER, NO LESS, I was given a ONE YEAR SITE RULES INFRACTION BY ANY MOD because the state I live in was listed wrong under my name. I KID YOU NOT.
You can not make this stuff up guys. I was given a ONE YEAR PROBATIONARY SITES RULES VIOLATION BECAUSE ON MY GEOPGRAPHICAL LOCATION WAS NOT PRECISE!!! LOL The funny part is I can go find MANY of these said violations all over the site!

It said "Western, USA", under my avator. THAT? was enough for a one year probationary, disciplinary
punishing slap in the face. What the.............??????????????

Now here is the icing on the cake.
And this HAS been sent to the powers that be w/o response;
My avatar is a fictional TV cartoon charcter named BENDER.
This program has been piped into all homes across the USA
during Prime Time where all children see it, for years.
Well BENDERS favorite phrase is; "Bite my shiney metal azz".

You can what that here;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pRnQYS0S5c

THAT is exactly what I had entered under my character, I believe
it was in the LOCATION area where you would write your state.
All children throughout the USA see it, during prime time, THAT IS FACT.
Well, apparently we have a moderator whom has NOT owned up to this
editing of my profile, this moderator thinks this is over the top, it
is like Heroin and Krack and his congregation needs not see what I see
as art, this mod sees as FILTH. Do you see the problem here???????????

Well, here about 4-6 months ago, a moderator took it upon his/herself
to CHANGE that phrase from "Bite my...."to "Western, USA" now go re-read what I just wrote.
I was given a one year probationary rule infraction for something that
is just absolutely ridiculous, and no less from a moderator with over
THIRTY TWO THOUND POSTS HERE. You need to reread that and
put 2+2 together....H E L L O!

So I was trashed a couple of weeks ago, given a one year probationary infraction then just a
week or so later a post in my thread here, that I wrote, was EDITED where I was just trying to
help my fellow M915 series owners, whereas as I was doing it for FREE as well.

This is called blacklisting.

I do not deserve it. If I do please explain man to man in PUBLIC!

PS, I have new info on the KATS Ether valve I started before all this thrash interrupted me.
I will be posting it up soon so you can all learn how to replace the ether solenoid valve
on these great trucks.

(VERBOSE it "may" be) ;-)
