Hey man, I thought tires were a bitch to deal with in class 8's but fuck that noise.. haha kudos to you for dealing with those. 👍

I'll be heading to Anchorage for a field service position on Cummins power generation sideonce I'm done with my training.

Plenty of money to be made on heavy equipment side

@Brenten.Ryan-AZ ha I would rather change those pan tires over those semi truck tires any day. My truck does all the hard work. With semi tires you have to do them by hand. I have to do some semi tires here and there but mostly Otr

2017-10-01 20:39:47 UTC  

Otr-off the road

2017-10-01 20:40:23 UTC  

Ah, I didn't know that. Haha

2017-10-01 20:58:56 UTC  

The tires on the machine in the photo weigh roughly 3k to 4K each

Fixing the motorcycle, looks weird naked

2017-10-02 01:27:40 UTC  

What is that, a Sportster?

2017-10-02 01:38:08 UTC  

It's of Japanese origin forsure.

2017-10-02 01:38:32 UTC  

Sportster has a v twin design engine.

2017-10-02 01:51:36 UTC  

Mmmmmmm

@Deleted User alright negro, I'm going to guess misfiring at high speeds. Cylinder 6 is probably the one too, which would be from the front of the truck, bank 2 right side, number 2 cylinder which is the 2nd one from the front. Check the plug, if it's ok, look to see if any other are misfiring. If you don't see any abnormal build up it's still probably the number 6 cylinder ignition coil, '09 to 14 are notorious for it. The one I bought Tuesday had the same problem, except mine shook at around 45ish. I just swapped the plug and the tube, not the ignition coil. And that fixed mine.

2017-10-02 01:58:42 UTC  

The guy at auto zone knew exactly what problem I was having, I upgraded the spark plugs as well

2017-10-02 02:04:10 UTC  

If this ends up not working I'm going to swap the ignition coil on cylinder 6.

@Deleted User what engine do you have in that Ford?

2017-10-03 00:40:54 UTC  

302. Same as the Mustangs

2017-10-03 00:41:24 UTC  

Thanks, looking for related TSB's now.

2017-10-03 00:41:56 UTC  

Ty i appreciate it

2017-10-03 03:24:12 UTC  

No present TSB's for that specific concern brother.

2017-10-03 03:24:29 UTC  

Yours is a one piece drive shaft, correct?

2017-10-03 03:25:01 UTC  

Yes

2017-10-03 03:34:16 UTC  

have the other gentleman look at it when you both meet, if he can't solve it grab those Chassis ears and I'll walk you through vibration orders to get it under wraps.

2017-10-03 03:45:42 UTC  

Ok sounds good. Ty

2017-10-03 17:42:24 UTC  

@here no power to my bike. Battery is hooked up and it's reading well

2017-10-03 17:42:43 UTC  

Have you tried not crashing it?

2017-10-03 17:44:06 UTC  

@JohnStrasser Are you cables connected to the ignition sequence/not grounding out?

2017-10-03 17:46:06 UTC  

I think everything is connected im double checking

2017-10-03 17:54:10 UTC  

If it ain't the battery it's the wires.

2017-10-03 18:00:32 UTC  

How do I identify which wires are bad?

2017-10-03 18:02:55 UTC  

It's a damn good question. I'm not very experienced with electric, but if it were me, I'd probably start sampling the wires with the mulitmeter at various points around the vehicle's electrical circuit. Before and after starter, before + after alternator, whatever, try to find where there stops being electricity.

2017-10-03 18:03:09 UTC  

I don't even know if that would work though. We need somebody who knows electric better than I do.

2017-10-03 18:12:50 UTC  

Use your voltimeter the same way you already are, except instead of connecting to + / - connect to the wires themselves. Of course, the battery wires themselves should be pretty easy to inspect visually.

2017-10-03 18:23:30 UTC  

Does it need to be on? Or would they be live just connected to the batteries

2017-10-03 18:25:04 UTC  

They would be live all the way to the ignition switch

2017-10-03 18:28:56 UTC  

Okay

2017-10-03 18:36:06 UTC  

Do that and then check for 12v at the ignition switch also. Does it do anything at all? Normally if your battery is good and cables good but everything is dead it's a fuse and/or relay.
