Do you have a youtube channel if not you should start one just from reading thru all this I would be hooked.

When I had my Step Van painted the shop I brought it to specialized in large trucks from med duty up to class 8 trucks they had the aluminum in stock to do roofs with had rolls of it in stock. I asked the owner and he said he does them all the time. Also if you go to Utilimaster web site they...

Fan is pulling 133 watts and 1.1 amp according to the inline meter I have.

Great I will get the 200 watt kit and call it a day for now. O and I am in Florida lots of sun until the afternoon showers come in the summer.

I almost always go 65 mph on the interstate some times i will run 70 if in a hurry with it. But I can run up to 75 mph that is the speed limit I had cummins set the top...

Yep seen that also we would have vise grips on the rack so you could pull them back if it stuck open. But i have heard of some of them after sitting an injector can get sticky and hold the rack wide open but my experience tho it be limited on the two strokes was a bad adjustment.

All the diesels I have worked on had gov built in the fuel system whether it was springs or the computer pulling fuel away from it but always some type of fuel limit. The runaway diesels are due to the motors pulling oil in the cylinders. On a side note I did stall one out on a hill and it fired...
