Blinker fluid

[JRTJH]

I understand that when converting to LED's this is no longer required. Is there a LED version of the Diesel Particulate Filter so we no longer need to add DEF to our late model trucks?

[gkainz]

Muffler bearing mods required before the DEF replacement is legal, I've heard.

[SAABDOCTOR]

more importantly did you change over to summer air in the tires Also John when chaning over to leds the lower current draw will drive the Catakizmic divertter to destruction! unless you reverse the flux capasitor but then the horn will suck instead of blow and the radio will listen instead of play! good luck with that:banghead:

Since you all seem to have the right answers for everything, how do you solve antenna wobble while driving, I have tried everything from going faster to only driving while the wind is not blowing, it is driving me nuts, but what really bothers me is when I am stopped it seems to subside quite a bite until the engine is turned off, then it finally settles down, I really think the wobble is interfering with my radio signal also.....:confused:

1/2 rebar bolted to hood and zip tie antenna to it usually works for me ;)

Beat me to it.

[zuley]

A tennis ball attached to the antenna generally works to stop the wobble. One you get up tp speed it will hold your antenna tight to your windshield preventing the wobble. Keep extras on board becasue the only issue being if you have to stop quickly the tennis ball usually ends up bouncing off the back window of the vehicle ahead of you.

[SAABDOCTOR]

Put the antena in the back in a blind spot so you can't see it:d

Fill out this here ID-10-T form for a board stretcher, take it to supply and trade it for PU-55-Y documentation to turn in for a bucket of steam

Howdy All;

Just back from posting the mail buoy watch, then had to get some
of the newly EPA approved prop wash to clean the relative bearing
grease from my left-handed monkey wrench so I could pop the top
off of the sea-bats container.
What's the problem again ???

No, they won't but you'll never have to back into a campsite again. Just put your TV in "D" not "R".

Funny stuff on here.. I seen someone say muffler bearings. New guys in auto shop, me included back in the early 70s would get told to change out the muffler bearings on a car.

[bigbluthundr]

I was out a time ago - looking for some Nite Lights, because I knew I was going on late shift. I found some small green/blue ones - but they seemed to be flying around and would not figure how to wire them up to work on the front of my car - so I kept looking.
Finally along the rocky coast I thought I had found what I needed - but every second or so it seemed to go off and then back on? - very puzzling ?

I took out my solar watch to get a correct count - but I could not read it in the dark, so I crept closer to the flashing light and timed it by counting - one mississippi, two mississippi and so on - finally I was able to grab a piece of it as it went by - to my astonishment it flung me around a castle like structure.
I was finally able to climb up the beam - 'though I was rather dizzy when I reached the railing - I knew I had met my match when I saw the sign that said lighthouse - and I could not even budge it.

Apparently, weed is legal in BC now. :)

BC Bud is for you. Legal for medicinal purposes only - eh.

[Desert185]

Be going through BC and YT Tuesday-Wednesday. Penticton-Burns Lake-Smithers-Whitehorse northbound. Will pass on the BC Bud, though. Folks are nice without the weed.

[Festus2]

If your passing through the Fraser Valley, stop in and say "hello". PM me if it's possible.

[Ken / Claudia]

Anyone know how much anti freeze I need for a 67 VW beetle. Thought during the tune up I should change it out.

[sourdough]

I believe on the 65-68 VW Beetles it calls for 1 quart of anti freeze poured through the air vents above the rear hood. That way it can keep the incoming air from "freezing" up the VW engine......

[bigbluthundr]

NAW - you put it in the 710 cap.

I'd warn you about the heat we have right now, but see you are from Arizona, so no need for that. Gonna be close to 40C (104F) by the weekend.

Antenna has been eroded by air/sand mixture that has reached it austenitic capacity. The antenna has now reached its' natural resonant frequency and has to be discarded, forcing you to finally listen to satellite radio. This is reportedly a conspiracy by XM/Sirius to increase listeners and top line revenue.

REALLY, I did not know that, thanks for the info, Sirius here we come, at least there antennas are flat with little or no wind resistance so I should get better fuel mileage also, right? a problem solved and money saved its a win win for me..."bouncey:

Back to the Blinker fluid, was wondering where the dip stick was on my rig so I could check my fluid level, also for my rig is there a heavy duty fluid available :D

Now I can't speak for your rig, but I have checked high and low and cannot find the dipstick on my Silverado for the Blinker Fluid. In fact, the owners manual doesn't even mention it, which makes it clear to me that it is a closed system that can only be serviced by a Certified Goodwrench Technician. :D

[Desert185]

Well, I was at 8,500' doing 150 MPH where it was about 45F. The problem was the smoke overflying Teslin (occasional zero visibility) and Northway for customs (2 miles vis). Rain this weekend with temps in the 60's in my part of AK. Hubba-hubba!

With the exchange rate and the surprisingly low fuel price in Penticton, aviation fuel was less than America, even with the 1%, credit card foreign transaction fee. That was a first for me.

In keeping with the thread, prop wash and shoreline is in abundance. No blinker fluid for me. Its an air-cooled, dry-blink system. :cool:

For that Freightliner with the CAT you must use SYNTHETIC blinker fluid. If not, on cold mornings the fluid will shear and lose all it's viscocity. This will cause the blinker itself to quickly fail. You are likely out of your warranty period, but for those still covered, realize that if the blinker fails, Ford will sample and analyze it. It is the #1 reason they deny blinker warranty claims.
Yes the satellite radio antenna will result in 12% fuel mileage improvement. That is why the oil companies jam the satellites.

WOW now im really mind boggled...:dizzy:...think I will sell the Freightliner and buy something normal to drive :banghead:

[BOWWOW]

I think if you remove the kickstand on the Freightliner you will be able to access the blinker fluid filter and drain plug much easier. Maybe connect the antenna to the kickstand, they don't wobble much.

OK I found the kickstand and tried to connect the antenna to it but either one is way to short to be able to touch one another so I extended the antenna with a piece of rebar as suggested earlier and walla , now the antenna will not wobble anymore, the only thing is it looks kinda funky to me so I got out the invisible spray paint and now it looks much better, the only thing is the overspray go onto one of the tires and its half gone, now I guess its off tomorrow to purchase a new one. I really appreciate all of the help here but it seems to be costing me lots of dough..:( still confused, but nothing new here...:confused:,, now go pick on someone else...:rofl:

[eds451]

A friend and I were talking and he told me he mentioned to his wife that the car was low on oil....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM6x1iK-XY8

At least she put on oil on the engine!! lol:rofl:

NOw that we have fuel injection there is no need to check the carbureotr belt.

CWtheman will be disappointed in your treatment of the tires. You better post this in the tire forum. I don't think he roams down here.
Oh, and that rebar. We will need to know if it is domestic or foreign steel. We will need a Positive Material Identification to ensure it does not exceed FMIA regulations. (Foreign Material in Antennas). A trace history from the steel mill is required as well. Iron ore source is not needed at this time, but retain the records for any future audit. Per federal regulations you understand.

[Hideout17]

This thread is awesome. Maybe you all can help me with the issue I am having with my truck. Under lite acceleration everything is normal but when I really get after it the engine makes this roaring sound and if I'm at a stop and do it my traction control lite comes on. I can't figure this out at all. When its doing this i feel myself being pushed into the seat and my fuel economy goes down. Any ideas.....

Sounds like a loose whistle nut bearing... better get that fixed..:D

When I see a advertisement about a live band, I always have to chuckle a little, I thought they were always alive, is there such a thing as a dead band? I guess there might be if they were no good or a no show... LOL:rofl:

If you're having problems trying to find a metric Crescent wrench, Amazon has them. They are actually $4 cheaper than SAE wrenches in the 6"/150mm size ;)

[hankaye]

Howdy All;

Strange ... thought the metrics would only be $0.62 to the dollar ...

[Hideout17]

Is that for the right hand or left hand wrench? It says in manual don't use a right hand wrench on a left-handed nut. Could get cross threaded....6

[Laredo291OH]

Right and left hand don't have anything to do with the wrench, it's which hand you hold the wrench in.

Are you looking at that nut from the front or the back?:banghead:
