Help under standing the lights on a 2.5

[CobraCDR]

I have a few gallons of NOS blinker fluid I picked up with my deuce... should last me at least a few turns.

From what I see here and what I read in 2 other thread it apprears that I need to do alittle wiring if I want head lights and blinkers at the same time. Is that correct ?

Blinkers and headlights, no


Front parking lights and headlights, yes



The blinker bulb and the marker bulb each use a seperate ground(bolt).

OP.

If your good with wiring then make it do whatever you want, i felt safety with these trucks is #1 so i wired my marker lights to come on whenever the trucks master switch is on. I want to wire my headlights like this also, but am waiting to get some relays for that kind of load. Search and there are plenty of threads with exact details on how to make your markers stay on with your headlights.


Best of luck to ya!



and by the way guys, ive gotten into the habit of in my pre check, when I check the signal fluid level, thats also a good time to make sure you Air Brake fluid is topped off. I keep extra of that on the shelf beside the brick bender

Just ask Ferro how many times his locomotive's been in an accident with a car

I have never seen a 3000 pound car come out on top in a collision with a train or tractor trailer.....the stupidity of the average driver never ceases to underwhelm me.

I added a remote resivour for my blinker fluid so I can check it in the cab.

Worst mistake I ever made was selling my brick bender....

That's not really safe. The blinker fluid is slightly radioactive just like the gauges. At least wear your milspec tinfoil hat when you drive it. Should be in your toolkit next to the left handed crescent wrench.

While you're after that blinker fluid, fetch me a bucket of steam.

And maybe a coil of flightline. Been looking for some of that since 1992.

Make sure you use the right weight blinker fluid. You ll get a nasty tap if its to thick in the cold. I use the 5w5 in the winter, just my preferance.

newb deckhand to captain: 'how are we gonna yank that engine out, there's nothing to attach to?'
captain to newb deckhand: 'pointing up, you see that sky hook don't ya?'

captain to newb deckhand: 'I need some relative bearing grease, go see what the Engineroom has'
Newb deckhand shows up 2 hours later, empty handed...

captain to newb deckhand: 'You have satellite watch tonight, the binocs are over there, and the last time we saw it, it was over there' - 40deg weather.
Newb deckhand, one hour later, and frozen: 'Couldn't find it sir".

captain to newb deckhand: 'go fetch me a 5 gallon pail of propwash'
bad part on this: we caught the deckhand climbing over the stern rail to get it!!! - We don't do this anymore
