Joe, do you happen to have a part number/source for that alternator?

That's great Lain, I'm going to do something similar. When I drove my truck, I kept stepping on the button on the floor with my heel when I shifted my feet around, quite annoying. I'm going to move it up on the floor board to the left of the steering column. Right now there's a big red...

I thought I read somewhere that dogs are not very welcome in Mexico?

I always wanted a Scout, despite the 50-60 cars I've owned, never had one in the garage. Welcome!

All great info, never heard of the Tirfor. I'm probably still going to have a winch, whether electric or driven off PTO. I've seen them used to drag downed trees/large rocks out of the way, etc. so other uses besides recovery. I already have a heavy duty come-along, which is similar to the...

Dude, don't let Suave 'influence' what your doing. Since I've been on this site, every post I've seen of his is to insult, make fun of, attack others. He seems to think his age/experience gives him some 'right of the elder' to trash others. And he complains that his posts get deleted on a...

Ha! made me look it up. My seat cover will be covered in Jackalope hide....

Definitely interested in one, er. probably two, of these. The weight savings over a land anchor is huge.

Wow, bike is beautiful! We're going to need more bike shots :) For clarity: The MC carrier and rear rub bar are the same piece. If you have the MC mounted is the rub bar then in the lowered position required for driving on the road? will this expose the bike to road debris, kicked up by the...

I figure I’ll uprate the alternator and/or add a second one. Ultimately, I’m going to be only diesel and solar for power, want a robust electrical system.

So the shop that was supposed to look at it Friday, did not and they actually called me Friday night at closing time to complain that they could not get the brakes off and the owners manual is in German ? on their website they specifically call out on their listing Mercedes heavy trucks as...

I’ve hand pumped up the cab twice- what a chore! Was already thing about how I can make that easier!

What is ‘caging the brakes’ ? I was told the two ways to release the brakes when not running was: 1.) pressurized system through aux air port, the one below drivers door. 2.) loosen the hex nut on the brake actuator, it controls the mechanical spring that locks the brakes when not running...

Have a question for the experts: I understand that the pneumatic fitting below the drivers door is two way. You can use it for pressurizing the tanks to get the parking break to release. If not running. is there a lever or switch somewhere that lets you use air OUT to a connected hose to...

Thanks lain, I know I’m not alone!

I was told there are a couple places around here that could potentially rebuild it. My plan, once I got it home, was to replace things like alternators and then use the takeoffs as backups. my biggest problem is I just laid eyes on it for the first time Wednesday, have no tools, no shop...

No panic, just irritated that I only made 70mi before a breakdown ? too late on the disconnecting of driveshafts before towing. when I finally found some one willing to tow it, I called Martin from Terra-Exp , (the seller) and walked through all the things needed to tow, and there was no...

It had new batteries installed here, so very new. I think it’s the alternator. I drove it around yesterday, making 4-5 stops, then hit the road this morning. Martin from Terra Exp also drove it around, getting the title, etc. I thinkit’s just been starting on-the batteries and they finally...

lifted the cab, banged on the starter- no luck. of course I’m worried it’s just something simple I’m missing. but I made sure it’s in neutral Parking brake on Foot NOT on air brake switch Other switches checked as far as I know. It has new batteries, as I said, but I suspect either the starter...

Well, picked up the MB1224 yesterday in Florida. Headed out this morning. stopped to use bathroom, maybe 5min. truck won’t start, has new batteries, but it just clicks. checked battery connections-tight Checked in neutral Check parking brake on Checked position of switches, not sure that...
