LOL. My last lawn tractor was the same way. I just chucked the entire hood assembly and covered the engine once cool with a tarp.

Just out of safety I would still test the alternator for AC noise levels. The fact it capable of lock/unlock issue bothers me and rather error to the side of safety knowing the alternator is working properly. Measure the AC voltage at the BATT post of the alternator and NEG battery post. A good alternator is 0.01 to 0.02. Marginal is 0.05. Failed is 0.1 and higher.

Remember all shut off valves and snubber should be installed right at the tap point of the fuel system. Now coupled with the length of run to the sender or gauge will give even more dampening ability to the system. Do not use a grease gun hose! Keep line size down to small line sizes like 1/8" tubing will help but make the run longer than 5 feet if possible. I found one member than used 1/4" air brake and it did not dampen the water hammer it actually past it along to the gauge.

Left and right pressure are set internally in the power valve sleeve (7 & 8) and the input shaft.

If the engine isn't running yes it will run over because the gear box will naturally pump the fluid out while steering. That is one of the methods to changing power steering fluid by going locak to lock with the return line unhooked and the engine off.

Basically the rubber seals are shot. You just need to replace them. When you do put a small amount of silicone on the rubber seals. I would highly suggest to stay with exactly what you got so you don't risk having to drill new holes or have sealing issues.

I'm curious is the fluid overflowing when the engine is running or while its parked for that long period?

Hover on the dotted underlined acronyms and see the meanings... PDC > Power Distribution Center As for driver side follow the red wire to the PDC and you'll see it runs right to the alternator fuse. This provides a nice stud for hooking up accessories. Constant 12V power. Switch power is from inside the cab.

If I'm not mistaken that is a 80 MPH piece of interstate there in Idaho.

Happen on I86 in Idaho...

No leaks, acid or corrosion problems on any vehicle or my home system. Give you an idea these are 20 year old battery cables on the home system that have never been cleaned nor has they ever seen corrosion. So corrosion and acid issues is a sign of charging issues or improper maintenance of the batteries. If your venting acid shows sign of excessive high charge rates possibly from a bad battery temp sensor or discharging too deeply? As your looking at the box and see the acid splash that is from the previous battery set that had bad cells and I left the caps off during a equalize charge. With the bad cells they would get hot and boil more so throwing acid out. Lead acid batteries can and will perform if maintained and charged properly. Being that my battery bank powering the house is about $4,800 to replace I'm going to insure it crosses the 10 year mark and possibly the 15 year mark before replacement. As for vehicle batteries they are built basically the same so using the same knowledge from the house system on the truck got me to 10 years on vehicle batteries. Heck even my little ATV battery is nearing 8 years now.

Correct... The injector o-ring does exactly that where the crossover o-ring prevents fuel leaks on the manifold.

Maybe you might have to post that link, then allow the staff to start working to add another vendor to the list.

I've also heard the same thing about leaks on the return side but never been able to prove it. Crossover o-rings, return tee seals, banjo sealing washers, etc.

Thanks ABennin I knew that it was used before... Thanks for posting up your set up...

I doubt you'll make 10 to 15 years like I do... OEM lasted 10 years in the diesel. I replaced with WalMart batteries. The batteries that power my house are 6 volt lead/acid batteries and those last upwards of 15 years if taken care of. Which with a lead/acid you can top off the electrolyte and also perform a equalize charge to stir the acid and distilled water as well as reclaim some of the sulphated plate material. These are some things can't be done with any sealed batteries.

Put the needle valve at the source of your fuel tap then if anything goes wrong you can shut the entire system down. The run 1/8" air brake tubing from the needle valve to the gauge. Longer the run the better. I ran direct plumbed for 10 years and with a needle valve. Today I still got the needle valve but not used for dampening any longer it's use as a shut off device for system leaks or failures. I'm using a ISSPro snubber with my ISSPro EV2 electric gauges.

While I was at my CDL class tonight I'd heard from the Fire Chief that several homes up on the mountain had lost there wells and dried up. As for Riggins, ID they are now limiting water in the city of Riggins, ID. Then on top of that we are heading back into 100-105*F temps again so water is going to get tighter yet. Pray that the weather cools off and we get more rai we can use it out here. According to the Deputy I was with Nezperce Forest is in a Stage II fire restrictions now.

Yeah it happen to me again. Stupid people in a hurry and driving to fast. I can see a semi-truck coming towards me then a Chevy pickup come bouncing out from behind the semi-truck I was forced to emergency stop into the shoulder / ditch of the highway to avoid a head on collision. Don't get me wrong there is time I will drive fast but passing people please look well ahead of the vehicle ahead of you before pulling out. Then again tonight I with a Deputy from the sheriffs office setting up the CDL class for the fire dept and we got passed by a motorcycle illegally over a double yellow line. People slow down there is nothing in this world worth getting yourself in accident or killed.

Absolutely... I'm a boondocker... But I would love to have you as a neighbor if camping... Maybe drink a beer with you.

It's actually sold by a vendor I just can't find who again.

Nothing your missing out on. Nice area but campground is rather dated.

Even if he is staff... He needs to back on his diet...

Just for fun here is the location I shot the picture from. Looking north east... https://www.google.com/maps/@44.9577582,-116.4588712,139m/data=!3m1!1e3

If they make the setup I'm pretty sure you can get a probe for it. Why make a part and not have a proper size probe?
