don't forget about some of those small tools like ratchets, or breaker bars to name a few. as far as powered tools go it's a tough call between a angle grinder or the reciprocating saw. there is one tool that nobody ever thinks about. it's called grey matter, it'll get you out of a lot of jams.

I wondering if it's the main power feed. IIRC it's a red wire,12ga comes off the starter. it has a fusible link on it. that wire controls all the power for the cab. EDIT: you can check for power at the junction on the firewall. it's a block/mounting(plastic I think) with 2 studs on it. it'll...

all the switch does is ground the wire. same method as the dome light/door switch. disconnect the wire, if the light goes off you probably chasing a switch. do a continuity test to confirm. the other possibility is the wire itself is grounded(rubbed though). then you left chasing it though.

cable here. one of the few options we can get. no DSL(to far away) and I doubt a T1 line is anywhere near. we had dialup for a few years. it works just can do squat for videos.

the heads aren't that bad to pull on a 6.2 I had to do it with the exhaust manifold still attached. the only hard part is that they weigh a ton then. had the head gasket ever been done on it? when I blew mine I had no coolant mixing in the oil, it all got pushed out into the overflow. new...

the clone is going to be out of a different computer.

LOL. Don't feel bad. I"m still struggling with most of this. now I know why I didn't go into computers for a living.

let me make sure I have he first method straight. you have 3 hard drives in total. the one that the computer your using, the one your coping from and the one your copying to. or am I completely lost???? I think I can get that setup to work.

I have 2 donor driver to play with. one's from a desktop or the one for the laptop. as it stands right now, the possessed drive will start are run the computer, most days. I'm haven't tried the external one for a boot drive. here's the big question. can I just copy the hard drive straight...

that's one of it's little quirks, the restore section was gone when I was last working on it. gonna find out more later today.

the second drive has a bootable copy. it's out of a backup computer. for the CD option, can you just copy a HD from a running computer? I just got thinking I could just copy the laptops HD. it's got everything that it's going to need. a copy from the laptop might be a good thing. I've been...

it's 2 separate HD's the bad one is installed in the computer, the second one is being used as a external HD(HD in a box). sorry, no disks to be had. manufacturers need to include those things.:( can I use a separate computer to copy from one HD to the other? I can deal with most computer...

were dealing with windows XP, not sure of which version. I need to wipe the original HD, and the copy everything from separate HD onto it OS and all. not exactly sure what's gone wrong with the original OS, it'll crash randomly on it's own, and now is having issues with things...

started over a DP for help with the 6.2 for a few years, ended up over at DTR after the DP takeover, then here. sure glad I came. People helping people and willing to got that extra mile, or miles is some cases.:thumbsup: JiFaire has summed it up for me. well said:arms:.

I have to make a copy of a replacement hard drive. don't have the OS disks to just reinstall. now the question is, is there any good free programs to do this or issues of doing this? the whole reason is to redo this is windows got corrupted. I have a spare copy on a different hard drive...

just thought I add some more info for your hunt. the 6.5 single mass flywheel also works. it has to be the single not the dual version.

check out the set from 'pt wiring solutions'. he's a vendor on here and make ones for the 6.2/6.5. it's worth a look. iamdave is right, the bigger cables make a huge difference. I had a set of 2/0 for the truck made up(local shop) and haven't had half the starting problems that I used to. I...

if the cables are in good shape leave them till you start to have issues. you only need to change the heavy set. the differences to look at the starter is the 27(older) housing is about 4" across and is straight with the nose cone. the 28 is small across and offset to the nose. I think its...

the pic is probably a few years old. mine needs some bodywork in a few major places. now all i need is a few extra grand and I'd be set.

the winter months you'll want to be heavier than that. IIRC stock is 2 gauge. 4 will hold for the summer. how's the rest of the cables look? which starter are you using the 27(direct drive,older design) or the 28(gear reduction)? it does make a difference of how big of cable you need. the...
