The solid mount was intended for use with the gear reduction starter available from EI, which weighs significantly less than the original Bosch starter. I have had the gear reduction starter mounted on the solid mount for quite a while with no issues noted. Others may have different experiences. On ...

Ditto on the Dyna beads - excellent product with no issues.

I'll second the suggestion to use balancing beads. I have them in my current 710M and used them in 3 others too. I continue to be very pleased with the results.

I'm running Cooper Discoverer STT Maxx LT235/85R16.

Used pair of aluminum door panels with black "pebble" finish. Great condition. Door handle cups and vehicle ID plate are NOT included and will need to be transferred from your old door panels.

$75.00 for the pair plus shipping.

SSOLD! a wide folding step for the rear of the Pinz 710 or 712. In fine mechanical condition but could use a re-paint. Originally sold by Cold War Remarketing.

Please post a photo of the fuse and electrical box you're referring to. That sounds like it may be an add-on by a previous owner.

Welcome and congratulations on a nice truck! Side rails look great!

Thanks for letting us know what you found! Very interesting. Glad you solved the problem.

Definitely a mystery. I suggest checking the terminal numbers molded into the back of the ignition switch and confirm that the correct wires are connected. That third red wire, left-most in your photo, has a different crimp terminal on it. Can you track where it goes? I have a few schematics and as ...

Your method of repair should work just fine. I've done that a few times myself.

On one of the 710M's I bought years back, I had a similar problem with lack of braking in one circuit. It turned out that one of the Static Pressure Valves, part # 7103366220, had been installed backwards preventing the flow of brake fluid. The attached photo has the 2 valves marked with arrows. Wor...

Possibly also check the intake manifold balancing hose under the engine tin. Group 1-35, item 60 in the parts book. It maintains equal air balance between the front carb manifold and the rear carb manifold. The hose is exposed to heat from the cylinder heads and begins to degrade over time. IMG_3154...

I have no experience with Volvos but have often found suitable seals, weatherstrip, etc. for other projects from this company: https://www.steelerubber.com

I converted to the civilian ignition with Perrtronix, then to PinzSSI and have been using NGK BP6RES plugs with both. I replace them every 5000 miles since they are relatively inexpensive. They never look very worn. Hope this helps.
