    My starter problems I need some input please.

    Gerald, sounds awfully like the same issue I have had lately. Turn the key sometimes, no click, sometimes a click and no start. Then turn the key again and away she goes. I haven't got into it yet though. Too damn cold! Keep us posted. Art

    FSD/PMD adventures

    Yes hello neighbour. I would have gone there if it was not as late in the day as it was. The point was that I was able to get them at the RC hobby supply store. Art

    FSD/PMD adventures

    A little over a year ago I bought/ordered a new FSD. The old one is remotely mounted on a heat sink, on my home made mount, behind the license plate holder in the front bumper. I had simply moved it, heat sink and all, from the intake several years ago. It wasn't really giving me any trouble...

    Bought a trailer, did I go too big?

    I swear that towing my 7500# Dutchmen thru the Cdn Rockies was the beginning of the end of my engine a few years ago. But that was when I was certainly a :dr:. I was new to diesels, and thought it would be no problem. WRONG! But I know, in hind sight, I pushed way too hard. Since new long block...

    PMD (Pump Mounted Driver) Issue Must Read

    Can you check if they are on Steaksauce's computer? Some people just like to stir things up! We are probably just as well off ignoring all this BS. :drama: Art

    Realistically now... How much weight can I tow?

    Great discussion. Thanks for all the replies. So it seems I need more truck to pull the weight of the proposed RV. Or set my sights a little lower as far as an RV upgrade goes. Thanks again, Art

    Realistically now... How much weight can I tow?

    OK next question Well, it seems that the concensus is that we shouldn't push the 6.5 that much. I would intend to pull it where ever I would want to go, including the Canadian rockies. How much truck would I need? Dmax? Ford super duty? I'm very much a GM/Chevy kind of guy, but I got to admit...

    Realistically now... How much weight can I tow?

    Check my sig for my truck specs. It tows my 30' Dutchmen, at about 9000 lbs with no problem. The wife (God bless her soul) is now looking at a used Hitchhiker Champagne edition 5er, that states GVWR of 16,500 lbs. Do you think my 6.5 can handle that? Or am I looking at a truck upgrade (Dmax) as...

    Wiring color Question

    Mine are pretty dirty, but it looks like a lite brown or orange wire on firewall side, and a green towards the front. Solonoid is not connected anymore, but the wired connector is still there.

    Replacement turbo

    But, you see........ It needs to be "dumbed down" for people like me and perhaps a large percentage of our community. With the math, you just lose me..... With TD's analogys, I can get a better understanding and a picture in my mind of how things work. Maybe I'm just getting to be an old fart...

    Fenders off Injector Install?

    If you need new fender(s) it would easily make sense to do it all at the same time. Fenders are relatively cheap. Painting may be another story. Art
