Don't know if this belongs, but it's a cat and it's a "loader" lol

Cat 238B

I've always disconnected the batteries to weld, and was also taught early on to ground close to where your welding....works good now, as the ground clamp on the welder in the shop is about 4'long......needed some cable to make boosters lol

Update:

Out running no problem most of the day (drl relay still out). On the return of my 4 hour trip it started acting up again. This time both the turn signal indicators were lit but the bulbs from the cab back were off. Little led (both sides) between the hood and the doors and all the lights in the front clusters were dimly lit. Lights from the cab back were operating normally (turn signals, brakes and 4-ways). The front clusters would respond to turn signal and 4-ways, but alternate from turn signal (outer most bulb), low beam, high beam (inner most bulb). While testing the front lights, I inadvertantly hit the high beam switch and all returned to normal. Lasted the rest of the day, then got to yard and couldn't get the friggin thing to do it again for the maintenance guy to see......

Arrggggg

Here's the deal,

This morning checked all the lights and everything was fine. Pushed in the button to take off and when the daytime running lights came on, the left signal indicator on the dash and high beam indicator would flash at random. While it was doing this, the flashers were not blinking and still respond to the signal stock. Got out and looked at the lamps again, passenger side were normal except the high beam being dimly lit. Driver side, all dimly lit and the little led between the door and the back of the hood was staying on. With the left signal on, all the lights in the left side cluster would blink and dim. Pulled the drl relay out and I thought I had the problem fixed....but it started it again, put the relay back in and suddenly all is fine......wtf

All the wiring is covered and appears clean, all the bulbs work (switched them all side to side). Only seems to do it when the spring brakes are off (drl on). Any ideas or should I try and book it into the shop?

Sorry for the long winded post and any info that is vague. I will clarify as required.

Thanks in advance

Check spark plug cap connections. Do you have any excessive spray going into the cowling? Can you try another portable tank with different hose and bulb? Did you install the filter in the right direction? One of my had 50 ETEC for 5 years, the only thing he did was change the filter, new hose and bulb every two years, and changed plugs every season and gear oil once a year.

????????????

Damn does that ever look fn fun...........

Here's a couple Mack Bigfoot ore haulers in Australia, definitely big dogs.

.....uh....I thinks the one pulling the trains is a bit heavy...maybe......lol

Mr Barry fixed it. Was just in there and it works.

Yeah I see a few guys in there now, and am trying to talk but no one is seeing my messages????? I see dougsr, jmartell and superdog......

I was indeed there, tried to send a few messages, but got nothing, also saw nothing.....

Sounds like your turbo is passing oil. Grab the propeller nut and check for up and down play.

What he said,sounds to me like spun turbo bearings.....

Balmy -15C here in Southern Ontario today....lol

She will figure out the worth of warmth one day.....

Stayin home., we all have te sniffles....

try change the engine from Dynamat to E7 350 Turbo works better

??????

Get well soon

I'm gonna vote "keep it" too. It's yours, it done, you did it......a fine example of know how and persistence, just my .02

You'd never like a Superliner, my hoods about 5' wide and 6' long and the steers are 6' in front of my seat. I like it!

But I'd be willing to try one out lol, might grow in me.....

I blame it in not being exposed to axle forwards.....until the rd, there is a lot of truck between me and the steers ......

Can anyone tell me the best place to start trying to reduce cabin noise in a 86 R model 350hp

Wear ear plugs.....

Ford "thru" a swamp?!?

Something about that pic seems off.......ah, where the jeep to pull him out lol

Arg....not a fan of axle forward granites....sumthin just don't look right.....

I ran a case 3294 with an ether shot button on the dash.....big surprise, it didn't work.

We got about a 1/2" on ice between Saturday night and yesterday afternoon in Southern ontario. Hydro was out for 14hours, had alittle generator for the fridges and freezers and the gas fireplaces keptthe house warm. Needed a hammer to get into my car today

Yes we may not like it, yet it's the cards we have to play with. I'm not as much up set with the Volvo thing as much as the gov. and all the crap that's messing up the way these engines run. Just think how good these eng would be if all that time and money went to performance.

What would we do if we weren't sitting around waiting for some emissions test or part.....oh....right.....lol

That must be hell on a sunny day

Not sure how new they can go. Newer stuff is usually available through the dealer system.

I've tried a few times, but they are always too busy.....or some other bs excuse....same with our office staff. I ask, they say they'll dig them out, then it gets forgotten.....frustrating
