  • This is more of an electrical problem rather than a plumbing issue. But rust inside the junction box is a sign of water getting into it. You need to find the source of the water that’s getting in and stop that too. It looks like there is only a bad connection inside the wire nut. Most likely due to being wet. You can try changing the wire nuts if you feel comfortable with electricity.

    1. Switch the breaker to “off” and lock it out & tag it so nobody turns it on accidently.

    2. Verify power is off to both wires with a meter or voltage indicator.

    3. Cut back the wires until you have a good section of wire to strip and install new wire nuts. (Remove one wire nut at a time so you don’t mix wires.)

    If you are not comfortable with electricity please do not attempt this repair and contact someone who is.




  • Definitely love the look of a stock 95-96 Impala SS. I miss the clone I had for over a decade. Most reliable car I ever had. Will never forget how well it would cruise at 100-120 MPH for hours on end feeling like your on a cloud. They really should have put a 454 in the SS


  • I’m interested in this too. Software for manufacturer specific vehicles like Ford Power strike or Toyota/Lexus as well as industrial off highway engines and equipment. Kubota, Doosan, Yanmar, John Deere etc.

    Many use similar communication protocols but the software for special functions are manufacture specific.

    Would love to cut out the dealers and be able to do forced manual Regen and injector tests etc








  • Depending on how often you run it you should look into doing a setup similar to what I have listed below.

    One, get a gasoline Honda generator. 7000 kw ideal 3000 minimum. Depending on how many loads you’d like to run at once will decide on your size generator. Don’t go too big or fuel consumption will be excessive. Too low and you will not have enough to do what you need to or will wear it out prematurely. Make sure to get roughly 25 to 50 gallons worth of gas cans too otherwise you’ll be stopping for fuel multiple times a week.

    Add in an 2000-3000 watt pure sine wave inverter/charger and a small 700-1000ah battery bank so that you can run your lights, router, small fridge, fans, furnace etc when the generator is not running. Idea is to add in some solar panels so that your small loads won’t require you to run the generator every day all day long. Run it when you need to cook, or power large loads and let the inverter system power the small loads when the generator is not needed.

    Stock up on good quality oil for the generator and change the oil every 50 to 75 hours depending on how hard you run it. Oil changes are critical to longevity of an engine and the MFG suggested oil change interval does not have the consumers best interest in mind. Change oil early or change the engine early.
