Re: Rotella users: T4 or T6?

I've used Phillips X/C for years the anti-wear package is LW-16702 approved and
required by Lycoming. I too was initially worried about what anti-wear was used.
It's good stuff. I'd have no qualms switching back but I kinda have dialed in Lucas
Classic at least for now.

Re: Rotella users: T4 or T6?

Yes, I have also used Valvoline VR1 Mineral but not Synthetic.
I do lean more toward Lucas Classic 20W50 mineral as I'll buy that in volume.
Both have about the same and appropriate levels of ZDDP for solid lifters.

I avoid synthetics for a couple of reasons. First syn or min I'll still change the ...

One thought/recommendation before you machine these up -- just for consideration. Please keep

Re: electrics question

I consider that a feature.

In the first position no power to the IGN which allows one to crank
for a compression test or to move the truck W/O engine very S L O W L Y.

Re: New ARB Slimline 100 battery

Hmmm very interesting! Renogy is a pretty reputable company in Solar and off-grid power conversion.

That's an interesting approach they are taking, semi-solidstate. The pricing is pretty attractive, it is
priced BELOW Battleborn's 100Ah LFP at $750, that's goning to be mighty competitive at least ...

Re: electrics question

Hard to know how extensive the electrical mod's were made.
Couple of thoughts, the Start function on the Bosch switch
you are showing still has to provide power to the starter
solenoid. If you can identify that wire and the stock push
button switch is still present, you could connect to that ...

Re: Stupid me.

Not sure exactly what your describing, but I'll take a stab at it.

With the Ground switch closed, and no load presented e.g. nothing
ON, your seeing a full 24V+ -- right? Then you turn stuff ON then
the voltage drops.

If that's what your seeing, check for corroded or loos connections,
