Got the Bronco up to Surprise lake yesterday. The only spot I almost couldnt get thru is the final hill climb around the stump at the top. We started to winch, but that made things worse, so just got out and man handled some rocks into the hole and did my best foot work. Antilock brakes work...

Seems to be a common problem lately. Its been hitting a lot of the fuel injected bronco guys. Bad/old grounds between all the body parts are really messing with the computers. Ideally you want a nice ground between your battery and your ALT case, another good one between body and engine, and...

Its damn near a direct short. Starter motors are HUGE current draws, so to get that kind of current out of a 12v battery, your resistance is going to be next to nothing. Power into the B+, thru the limited amount of copper windings, and then those windings finally go to ground via the starter...

Those would be PERFECT for an RV application. AGM, so less risk of spillage, designed specifically for long term draw whereas starting batteries are designed for short term draw. Fairly compact (very long, but really skinny so they can be racked in groups), but holy crap are they expensive new...

I did some quick looking, your oil bypass valve is built into the block of the engine, thats why the filter doesnt have/need one. The only thing I would be concerned with is if the block bypass valve has a different PSI rating than the filter PSI rating, Im guessing you'd want them to be the...

Looks like the older 6.5 filter does NOT have a bypass relief valve in it. The newer duramax one does. Bypass valve is a trade off between having filtered oil, and having any oil at all. If the oil is too thick to pass thru the filter easily, it bypasses. If the filter is so dirty that the oil...

01 and up duramax. here is the dimensions: BPV Setting 93.1 kPa (13.5 PSI) Overall Height 137.48 mm (5.413 in) Seam OD 93.62 mm (3.686 in) Thread Size 13/16-16 UNS-2B

try LF3679. Its the cross for an AC Delco PF1218

You couldnt pry my inverter generator out of my cold dead hands. I would take it over solar panels, battery banks and inverters any day of the week. Its small, its quiet, it sips the fuel, I can use it anywhere. Single point of failure. It breaks, I get a new one. No troubleshooting, no extra...

what is your end goal? What do you want to power? Inverters are stupid power hungry and will suck a battery bank dry in a hurry. Here is some rough numbers for ya (I love numbers). 1000 watt inverter will require up to 83 amps of power at 12v at peak demand. 2000 watt inverter will require up...

The ride rites just want you to keep 5 psi in the bags even when empty, just to prevent bottom out. I think the load lifters are for guys that are completely replacing their mechanical suspension and going 100% air. That internal bump stop makes it so you can at least limp off the road.

I thought firestone and ride rite were the same thing. Ive had mine for like 10 years. The bags have held up. the brackets need a little love, but I blame my lift for that. In cab control is the only way to go, make sure left and right bag are on separate feeds. Does anyone still buy...

Looks like the powershop is done. Pretty sure these are their lifts for sale on craigslist... http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/hvo/5132490720.html

The ARB units claim just under 1 amp of power draw. Your typical automotive battery is good for about 40 to 80 amp hours depending on sizing. So, in theory, a fully charged 80 amp/hour battery should run the cooler for a little over 80 hours. BUT! You generally dont want to take a starting...

We converted all of the interior lights to LED. Make sure you get the "warm white" not the bright white or cool white versions or else it looks like the Alien Autopsy videos. We also put the RBG ribbon LEDs on the underside of the awning. Sticks on with doublestick, and rolls up with the...

thats still cheaper than a sand rail, and I can use it as a truck too. I spend a ton of time in the sand in Oregon and AZ desert. so a soft ride will be a must in the future. Just ran up forest road 7720 today and really wish I had something softer. That road is rough.

side by sides and the various forms of them is where I see it heading. Especially once the market starts to bring them to a more affordable heavily used supply. And if WA ever fixes their ATV laws to make getting those side x sides to the trailhead even easier, then game on.

well since you cant prove someone hiked in, and I cant prove someone rode in, I guess that just leaves us with our opinions. Sorry you dont like mine. Im basing it on the fact that its 7 miles from the gate to the campground and if one is planning to be up to no good, I'd sure as hell have an...

I see your washer fluid tank is broken like mine too. Same spot. Find yourself a 91 or older bronco seat, and you can ditch those shoulder harness assemblies completely. The pre-92's had the seatbeats built into the seat, and they drop right in. Thats what I did with mine. Something else you...

And I would ask to see a chart of occurrence/damage vs nearest vehicle access (legal or otherwise). Somehow I dont see there being a huge vandalism problem if its more than say an hour of walking away from their vehicle. Regardless, the FD didnt say how the person got up there. Only that...
