    Charge an extra battery

    As time has wallared all this around in my head. Makes the most amount of sense to go ahead and mount the relay, and a volt meter in the truck. When I do build it a new bed that one wire running to the welder is all I have to worry with. Heres what I'm thinking, and then a question. Build a...

    Charge an extra battery

    Because I don't enjoy walking that much, lol. My shop is on the edge of town, but the places I work off this truck ain't. As I head north from here being 10, 15 miles from a house is not uncommon, plus they ain't home during the day. Have a couple jobs lined up there to do. Cell phones don't...

    Charge an extra battery

    Ricko going to keep all this in mind. May be a better way when I do it permanent. Could I just hook an Amp gauge in there somewhere, mounted in the cab, to be sure I ain't blowed a fuse or something?

    Charge an extra battery

    Bet your super simple solution is what I end up doing. Like said it's temporary. Was just going to hook a battery charger to it when I felt it was getting low. Know how that will work out, get back to the shop, phone ring, somebody pulls up I forget end up out in BFE with a water leak or broke...

    Charge an extra battery

    Well that's what I want, but? What is all these 30, 87, 85, 86? Prongs on the relay. This welder starts before it makes a full rotation so battery get's very little draw, it's a good battery, just need to keep it up. Really appreciate you Ricko, but remember your alot smarter than I am!

    77 305 Hesitation from idle

    If compression is good. Is the new dizzy good, or, are the new dizzy weights and vacume advance working in harmony? New don't mean good anymore, sadly. Had the problem with a broken weight pin, and now the problem still exist?

    Crazy Air Compressor Idea

    Probably be cheaper, eaiser maybe better to go get 3 or 4 of those harbor freight v twin single stage compressors and just run them with the v8 or a i6 or4? Edit to add: @SirRobyn0, It can be quite noticeable when one of those tire aired thru a spark plug pump blows, and there is a spark at...

    Crazy Air Compressor Idea

    But, as soon as the compressor comes on, what it makes is basically all you have. The extra storage is awright for general use, but for sand blasting it does not increase the out put of the compressor.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Try this one handed. Pull the tail, and it will come untied. May have to jerk on it some. It will not come loose and is very adjustable, just tie the knot where you need it. Use it all the time, esp when headache racking long material.

    Did my ignition switch just go out?

    Well, to be more accurate, and maybe feel less stupid. I forgot there were 2 fuses, so when the starter ran I figured I had power...nope. Full discloser, and to take away any redemption the first statement may have provided. As I think about it, ain't the first time this fuse has blown. Though...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Do you know how to tie a hay haulers knot? I'm also not a fan of ratchet straps. Piece of braided nylon and a hay haulers knot will get and stay tighter than these will. That sounds awful, am in no way wanting to be an ass, know it all. Just trying to pass along good info.

    And, has the best welding welder on the line! That pure DC is something to weld with, basically all they need you for is to change the rod!

    84 K 20, 350, 465. Jumped in it to go have steaks with the lady friend, fired right up and off we go. About a mile from the house look in the seat, have a jacket, have a bottle of Johnny Walker...no steaks. Turn around, come back to the house grab the steaks, hit the key, nothing? Do it again...
