    Heartfelt condolences and prayers to the friends and family.

    Vmac! Definitely did not mean to slight him! You guys are being way too kind to include me in that group! I'm old and my knowledge is pretty limited, compared to "The Brain Trust". Now, if you want to talk about manufacturing roller bearings, we can talk! LOL!

    I said it before and I'll say it again... The amount of knowledge a handful of guys on here have among them is freakin' amazing. Mechohaulic, Macktech, Jo-Jo, Glenn, and Onyx just to name a few. There are several others, too. Didn't leave anybody out on purpose. There's not much that gets by those guys.

    That's what I'm thinking. The broken rings may have been a secondary symptom. Melting pistons points to a combination of too much timing and too lean a mixture. There's nothing like having Wiseco dripping out of the exhaust pipe! Sounds like he has a plan for the next go-round though!

    "Perfection". Yeah, I think that's the word!

    From his original description, that's what it sounds like to me. Cookin' the Puppy!

    Wrong ring groove in the piston. Wrong ring end gap. Cylinders not round. Cylinder ridge. Cylinders warping at temperature (improper cooling). Detonation. This is a biggie. Can damage LOTS of stuff. (refer back to original melted pistons) (too lean, too much timing, too much compression, too low octane fuel, etc.) Improper piston/cylinder fit. Rings installed upside down. Woods sprites. Gremlins.

    Great job, Mate!

    Common sense? What's that?! LOL! Common sense is so rare these days it should be considered a super power. "Hello! I'm Sensible Man!" What you did with the trailer is very similar to one of our methods for raising and lowering machine tools..."rocking" or "levering" them up. I used to do stupid things under vehicles. Not any more. Now I want jack stands, cross-ties, timbers, or whatever I can find. That "what if" factor is super important to consider. You never work more safely than when you know that what you are doing can kill you. Kudos on your ingenuity and caution on that job.

    I would recommend good jack stands even with high-dollar jacks! But, that's just me!

    Little bottle jacks from Tractor Supply or Northern Tool don't cost much (Torin "Big Red"). 6 ton is about $35. 10 ton about $50. I have several of them in various sizes. Work fine. Cheap enough to throw away when they quit.

    This one sure gets the Weasel's Seal of Approval!
  13. doubleclutchinweasel
    Nice!
  14. doubleclutchinweasel
    I doubt the ones they are talking about get programmed! LOL!
  15. doubleclutchinweasel
    Lovin’ it! Great work.

    I guess one important thing to determine on this one is IF it has the 24V system. If it does, the S/P switch would be suspect. If it doesn't I would look at the cables.
  17. doubleclutchinweasel
    The old R600 I drove back then had the 24V start. Pushbutton to engage the S/P switch was on the dash. Seems like the key was on the left side and the pushbutton was on the right side of the steering column. The one I had more recently was all 12V. So, it did not have the S/P switch or the pushbutton.

    I have heard of 15W-40 giving different oil pressure than SAE30. I know folks who swear by both!
  19. doubleclutchinweasel
    Didn't all the 24V starting system trucks use the manual push button to activate the series starting circuit? Seems like all the ones I saw did. Turn on the key then push the button. All the 12V starting systems I ever saw just started with the key. Maybe that's a way to tell if it has a 12V or 24V starting system. If it IS a 24V start, then that unit would definitely be a good place to start.

    Bad batteries on one side? Bad crossover cables?
  21. doubleclutchinweasel
    That cab is nothing less than gorgeous.
  22. doubleclutchinweasel
    Need updates! What's going on now?
  23. doubleclutchinweasel
    Matt, I'm due for some more updates. I need a "fix"!
  24. doubleclutchinweasel
    If it's like the 13, you can. But, it may not be exactly the same ratio. Might have to go in a little sooner or a little later. Understand about the not wanting to risk it thing, though!

    Saw it at lunchtime today...
