I really think you need to consider upgrading to a billet battery. They are much stronger and allow you to run anti-gravity oil. Make sure you buy the blue kind though as the purple one...well you really don't want to know what it does to certain body parts if you spill it.

Once you get the billet battery make sure you change your wire colors. Anti-gravity oil only works if the flux capacitor is hooked up with green wire. Red wire leaks.

You want the graphite stuff.
Just got back from town.
Gosh, what a mess that was, christmas time and all.

I had to punch out some old fart that was pretending to be Santa Clause.
We all know that Santa is busy up at the north pole building toys, he won't have time to be standing in front of the store ringing a bell and collecting money. (The court date will be in January sometime)

I digress, so got into the parts store and asked the counter guy for some Metric Organic Battery Oil and a bottle of Lucas Graphite oil.

Wouldn't you know it, sold right out.
He did say that he thought that the local hippy er, I mean health food store might have it being organic and all.
So I headed over that way.

They were very nice over there. I told them that I wanted some organic battery oil for my Ebike because I'm trying to save the whales. She didn't have any but she did sell me some nice smelling Lavender oil that I could rub on my wife's feet if I wanted to.

So I went to one of the other parts stores. I don't usually go there because they can be a bit pricey.
Once again I asked the counter guy.
Now this guy knew his $&*%, he got the book out and looked it up for me.
Wouldn't you know it but they were out also, but they had a cross over that he said would work.
Unicorn oil, comes in both metric and SAE.
Now before you guys get your panties all tied up in a knot about harvesting Unicorns for their oil, he assured me that it was made from genuine Panda Bear, its just named Unicorn oil so people don't get upset.

But there is a bit of a shipping lag.

You need the terminating resistor under the J1939 drive pulley to equal 120,000 ohms to work with the terrawatt power your using or you'll have unwanted voltage leaking all over the ground. Dont step in it, slicker than snot on a doorknob.
Ohhhhhh
Yeah I know what you mean.
I spilled a bit of the unwanted voltage.
How do you pick that stuff up, it just keeps sliding out of the dust pan.

I would forget about the oil. Any oil will work just fine. That changing the oil business is an industry wide conspiracy perpetrated by the few remaining dinosaurs living in the hollow earth to filter out the inorganic material from oil so it will be more easy to extract their DNA from it for cloning purposes.

....oh yeah, and as a bonus I will tell let you think out the coincidence of the disappearance of oil bath air filters to the timing of the first meetings of Green Peace....
So I don't need the synthetic and the Unicorn oil will do after all.
So happy.

I was sitting here over lunch and nice tall glass of Hilco Lube and pondering your situation. Does your Turbo Encabulator have Ward Lenard control? It is possible if that is the case that you will have to install a newer software version since the first Ward Lenard controls to not take into account the newer discoveries of Unified Field Theorem and work under the assumptions of many less dimensions and fundamentally break down at the quantum level producing many glitches.
Well now, I am not 100% sure but I think the Encabulator is using Montgomery Scott control. This might be one of the problems. I'll look into it a bit deeper.

By the way, I hear that pork prices are about to go up due to the tariffs. Better run the pork as lean as you can so you can sell the rest.
So I used Pascal's Law to rework the Pork Salsa ratio
I know that it is not a law that you would normal use for salsa but I figured it would work in this instance. It does allow me to run a little leaner on the pork.

For those of you who can't remember Pascal's law it goes something like this.
The amount of Basil in a spaghetti sauce is directly proportional to the amount of tomatoes used.

Please don't get confused with the other Pascal, I mean what would pressure have to do with salsa.

I'm going to go with the Unicorn oil first, too many red wires.

In place of uni-oil you could maybe use European 20w. I was first introduced to it back in the 90s. I was looking for oil for a trans in Mercedes bubble nose . It called for 20W. We thought SAE 20 , evidently 20W stands for whale. Good luck getting it imported to America.

And if you think I was joking and making this one up I did just get a reply from a guy who has the parts and for $20.00 including shipping I'll have this one running again! If you ask nice I might even post a video of it's test run!
I say Go for it!!!! once it running you can blend your own uni-oil ;) maybe even mix in some THD or whatever they call it these days and cure ALL your motor issues :)

Hi everyone, Newbbie here, I have a Dump truck with I think a 11 speed transmission. i haven't had it long i just bought it an hour ago and i havent really driven trucks like this before.
A few questions, is it big enough to move my toro dingos i have three for major excavation work and i'm thinking about expanding my business so i will probably buy 2 more dingos.
And the other question, when shifting or starting out it really grinds going into gear, I had to brace my foot against the shift lever and push as hard as i could to get into gear at a stop light.
Can anyone tell me or help on info about how to adjust the clutch. I looked up in there and can't see anything wrong but it sure stinks and put out what i thought was some smoke after
driving it home. ThaNKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP YOU GUYS MIGHT BE abable to help me with.

^^ That grinding sounds normal for a 'new to you' truck... I wouldn't worry about it too much :) although if you want you could get a can of WD40 and crawl under the truck and spray a bunch up innto wher the clutch is... I find this really help me smooth out my starts ;)

Hard to say on the dingo's if they are the newer models with the bigger bucket you might not be able to haul more than two at a time, the handy thing about them is you can use one to load/unload the other :) or if you're only going to take one to a job then I'd just dump it out when you get there as they are really easy to flip upright if it doesn't land right.
