    Gear Drive vs. Double Roller Chain....pros and cons

    ELECTRIC FAN ON TOGGLE SWITCH

    run a wire from your battery to a fuse holder with a 40 amp fuse then run the wire to a toggle switch that is rated for at least 30 amps then run that wire to the 2nd speed on the fan and make sure to use a minimum of a 10 gauge wire, 8 guage would be better if you can get it

    turbo question

    a turbo isnt "JUST" a turbo, some of your diesel turbos lack proper oil seals for the bearings in the center section allowing oil to enter the compressor and be injested into the engine which is fine for a diesel engine because oil and diesel are only a couple hydro-carbons apart but can be...
