So, overnight wasn't an issue. But after a couple of days, it was hit or miss, mostly miss. I had already ordered the seal kit. It came in on Wednesday. Thursday night, I figured it wouldn't hurt, so I pulled the filter head. Yup, seals were cracked and flattened. The top primmer seal and the...

There never was a code. Not with my scanner and not with my Edge CTS3. WarWagon, You don't think I should rebuild the filter head?

Got the ignition switch, key cylinder and filter head kits ordered. Switch and cylinder parts came in and are installed. Truck starts faster (as in lights) and there is dash lights that come on that didn't before. The cluster is like driving in the rich neighborhoods at Christmas during the...

Hey guys, So batteries tested good. As in like brandie new. Checked grounds again and all are just as left them before. Ignition switch, key switch and filter head reseal kits are on the way. Fuel pump is a stock unit, in the tank. Yes it has a stock one in the tank. When you turn the key...

Helps as in it will fire for a split second. As in not even a full rotation of the engine. I've driven the pick up several times since that last incident and it hasn't hickuped even one time. I need to order the parts, but haven't had the time or the extra money. I'm in hopes it will happen...

Sorry guys. It's been a crazy couple of weeks. Goats breaching fences, rocket launches and more goat crap. Batteries are new and I swap them for position at every oil change. Owning a 6.5l taught me that one. I have gone through all of the grounds and all but one was clean. There has been zero...

Yes, it has a lift pump. @WarWagon is thinking close to what I was thinking. Since this is so sporadic, and doesn't happen on a regular basis, it has to be something electrical. For the $20, I might just rebuild that hand pump as a maintenance item. The shop that originally did the injector...

My 2004 K3500 with the LB7. And all of the pressures are listed above.

I am totally lost with this one. Went into town to get some errands done. Pickup starts fine and runs great everywhere we stop. Our last stop, I shut er down, and go in for a couple minutes, come out and it cranks, tries to light but never does. Normally the dash will go through it's check and...

Not if you do it right. We have two boats. A 19' and the 33'. Both are one trailers and maintaining them is not that costly if you keep up on them. Both of ours are on trailers and never spend more than a week or two on the water. Get washed good after each trip and flushed really good. I spend...

The 1992 Sea Ray 300DA in my signature. Boat is over 9000 pounds full wet. It's a fun boat when fuel prices are good. Last September we paid $6.75 at the marina. Locally it's up to $7.00 without the marine additives. I have found an inland station with fuel at $6.95 for low grade and no marine...

23kts would be slow for my express cruiser. My top speed, on plane, trimmed good, is 36.5kts and 3800rpm. Wide open throttle is at 4300rpm. So propping it out to get close to that would be the pain. 23kts is 26.42mph while my 36.5 is 42mph

The only real problem with the Yanmar in a marine application is they reduce the overall speed. Doing the math to re-prop a boat isn't that hard, it's just you have to go through a few props to get it right. Counter rotation props get spendy and when your buying several of them, it's outlandish.

I've looked at the Yanmar engine as a repower for ours. Two of the 4 cyl engines would put me in the same horse power range as the two 4.3l V6's. So I could keep and use the outdrives. But I'd also free up space in the bilge. Boat yoga is hard on me these days. Extra room would be nice. I hear...

Cant beat those Yanmar engines. The backhoe is the one attachment I wish I had picked up when I got ours. I have seen used ones in the few hundred range and they are beat up bad. Good deal.

The only thing I know about the JD brand is 'Nothing runs like a Deere'. To the dealer, to be repaired, on the back of a truck. The only ones I've operated were the older 4444 and bigger ones for Hop irrigation, back in the early 90's. They did ok but were better suited as diving boards by...

Two things. First, I asked my Kubota dealer and he said he has never heard of a 60 horse tractor with a mid PTO. Second; PayPal I only do the F&F after someone calls me for a product or service. Other than that, I charge them the 4.2% for the transaction. That F&F will still throw a charge...

Purlins at 2' are more than strong enough for a roof. And with the Sampson brackets, it's just fine. Engineered plans for a 3' load was standard. But our plans also had 5/16" OSB between the purlins and the metal. I had a customer request a roof with a 2' snow load and roof mounted solar panels...

First call the BBB in the town they are in. Second, that is an older unit. 500 hours might not seem like a lot but can be. How was it maintained? That sort of thing. That is a lot of attachments. Plan on a full truck load on a 53' trailer. I paid that much for my smaller one (24hp) with most of...

I'm, about 40 miles north, as a crow flys, from Eugene. I'm actually on the east slope of the coast range near Lincoln City, on the coast. It's ok
