    Hard Start after some maintenance

    Since you sound familiar with doing a relay unplug the lift pump. Run wires back from the plug that supply the lift pump, that hot wire will go to the exciter on the relay. Then run back from the relay to run the lift pump. That eliminates the cutting and splicing. Basically, you can...

    HydroBoost and Brake Lamp switch Clip.

    In my younger days, I did 100 push-ups and 100 chinupsand pull-ups as a warm.up for the day. I.nevrr quite got over the eating level that supported my activity level and really packed on the pounds when I got lethargic. I was 220, back then. I got as high as 290 - still had 38" waist on the...

    Head Lights to LED conversion.

    I think whoever, may have made my headlight harness to be plug and play. It's what I was after at the time. I did not want to cut and splice anything. It definitely takes a load off the light switch on vehicles that don't have a headlight relay

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    The old time experienced wrenches are getting harder to find. All of the time. The Toro guy I loved, that used to be in charge of service has to be retired or about ready to There's no amount of teaching that could get his experience shared with the young techs. If he was on vacation or...

    In 1977, maybe before. I tried teaching my wife to drive a manual transmission - 3 on the tree - 1965 F100 - i didn't think it was possible to go from 1st to reverse. It is. Luckily it was misty out and the tires broke loose

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Search best synthetic engine oils. The Tribodyne that Chris sells is good stuff. John Deere is usually good stuff - I don't know what they sell Royal Purple is good, but I never liked the color. I used Amsoil, with very good results. Where I am, I could order and sometimes have it in the...
