I have a set of 2 year old 864 extra heavy rear springs that i would like to trade for a set of heavies 863. I am located in the calgary region.
The springs are in great condition with minor flaking of the powder coating at the base of the spring.
Local quotes for a local shop to make a ss exhaust fron scratch was north of 2500$ and 1100$ for crushed aluminized steel pipe.
The PPD performance exhaust was 600$ plus an additional 550$ for shipping.
Build quality and fit is great and installation was a breeze. Ill post pictures later

When we got back home after our 3 month drive, i...

To be honest I have no idea what these wires are. I was told by a member that previously did the conversion to do it this way and it still works great for me.
Mudder,

"Main battery (-) is grounded to the body, engine block and the Auxillary Power box"
I did not ground the main(starter) to my auxiliary fuse box but i did...
Currently the heater draws fuel from the main line with its own pump and burns it internally. The diesel combustion heats up coolant that is pulled from the engine block and returned to the heater core line via its own coolant pump. In its current configuration it only heats up the engine for...
