    What Happened to the Cummins 6bt Conversion thread?

    I haven't been on the forum since before the update. Not only can I not find it by searching, when I follow the links in my email that alerted updates, I end up at a thread in the 55 forum. Can anyone help? reverie

    How do I know if my AC compressor is bad?

    First, thanks to all for your responses and encouragement. The first item I want to tackle is testing the compressor clutch. I have located the pressure switch. 1. To bypass, am I jumping the high/low pressure switch to medium pressure switch. If so, there are two of each; which do I...

    How do I know if my AC compressor is bad?

    No. I just assumed I had a leak. The AC used to cool the air, and now it doesn't. Am I starting in the wrong place here?

    How do I know if my AC compressor is bad?

    I recently moved from Colorado to Texas, and suddenly care about my AC. I have seen CoolstreamAC's videos, read about how to replace the expansion valve, and that I will need a new dryer. It all seems quite doable. My question is, how do I test my compressor to know if it needs replacement...

    Where is the radiator drain cock?

    I have read all the coolant threads, flushing threads, and the FSM, which show the engine, radiator, and nothing else. I took off the skid plate thing under there long ago. I know it is on US driver's side, but I can't find it. Is this difficult to see? Can it be seen? Any help appreciated...

    Hazard as CDL switch - $2

    I bought a hazard switch at a wrecking yard today for $2. It came from a 3rd generation mini. Just in case anyone was confused like I was, you don't need a pigtail, just the switch. As others have mentioned, it doesn't slide right in. Less than 10 seconds with a dremel tool on the wiring...

    Mobil 1 moly - does it exist?

    Snowwolf: My guess is you are right, but synthetics (at least in the US) are not 4X the price anymore. I don't have my reciepts at the moment, but I think my diff oil and bearing grease ran about 1.5x conventional lubricant. I know synthetics are technically better, but I have no idea how...

    Mobil 1 moly - does it exist?

    I usually shy away from ordering, but I called anyway, and Napa said it (Valvoline Palladium) will be here in the morning. I ordered a case of tubes. Don't take "we don't carry that" for an answer! Thanks for the help everyone!

    Mobil 1 moly - does it exist?

    This is frustrating. Mobile 1 has no moly, so I looked for Valvoline Palladium. No one around here has ever heard of it, including NAPA. We have Napa, Autozone, O'Reilly, and a mom & pop. No one has it. The FSM is unclear on this. What % moly is required? In an old post, Cdan...
