    Wish I had thought of it sooner (diesel fuel)

    Diesel fuel container Check on the acid cleaner before you do too much and see if it can be neutralized that way and no long term problems? The web should have info on it and WHIMIS will as well.

    Using stock upfitter switch

    Upfitter switch I would get the two #10 wire gray covering for you job. This will bring the ground wire back to ( near the battery ground) a battery ground point. This reduces the bad grounds of adding acceries. You can use a relay for your job and the power (wire) for the coil ( about 0.150...

    197k miles synthetic?

    synthetic oils and grease. With syn oils they will weep where conventional oils won't. They are about 9 % slippier then conventional oils. I do change 2 or 3 filters with an oil chnge so you are back to the price with the benifits of syn oil. Do some searching on syn oils and then form your...

    Is it ok to use Synthetic oil in a 2004 with 80,000 miles

    synthetic oils and grease Make sure the the oil will take the pressure that your hydraulic actuator system operates at. I know of one syn oil that won't operate at that pressure.

    Braking and fuel mileage

    That is an easy one. If you don't burn as much fuel to get going you don't have to brake as hard or can coast to /throught the intersection or stop sign. The other day in the hiway truck with hoe on I was able to coast throught three of the four lights and the two other hiway trucks had to stop...

    high idle switch

    high idle I like the one wire there but not to have more then 300 milli amps on it. Feed this to a coil ( this should only add 0.150 amps) of a relay and supply fused power to the relay that one wants to run anything from this wire. It is very surprising to me that a number of wires aren't...
