Dave , they are not to be used as a inline splice and there's no way to make it water proof with a heat shrink. For the underground you need to use a Burndy insulink or a aluminum nico splice. The Splices your talking about in the previous post are meant to be used on overhead conductors not...

This type of splice is for overhead wire ( non tension ) and underground cable inside of a vault if being used on a ground or neutral not energized cable. You will need to use straight crimp connections and put a heat shrink over them to keep moisture out or it will fault again. Dan 37 year...

I worked for Southern California Edison for 37 years as a lineman / splicer, what you have is what's commonly called a dead leg. You have a 3 wire service 2 hot phases one neutral , when one of the hot phases faults you'll only have 120 volts at your load end. This happens more than people know...

I'm going usually go every 3 or 4 years great place to look at new equipment and meet some nice people . I just go up for the day don't stay over.

Took the 5th wheel out this last weekend with the new 2016 F-350. I was very happy with its preformance of the truck , more than enough power and the exhaust brake works as promised. I'm more than happy with the mileage I got 12.8 MPG and the truck only has 700 miles on it , it will get better...

I want to buy some after market floor mats for my new F-350 to protect the carpet, I ordered some from Weather Tech and sent them right back . They were very thin and had no tits on the back of them to hold them in place. There's nothing worse than floor mats wadded up under your feet. What...

The brown color is gorgeous but I normally keep a vehicle 10 to 15 years and white is easier to maintain , my son in law has a magnetic gray F-250 I think it's th prettiest color Ford offers.

That's a good thing my 2001 handle it well I had the Banks kit on it but this 6.7 has some real torque.

My son in law has a 6.7 Powerstroke and he was saying you won't get good mileage till 6000 to 7000 miles. My 2001 Powerstroke was the same way. I do love the new truck and Caribou brown is a gorgeous color but to har for me to keep clean so I went with another white one.

I certainly hope so my friend my 2001 Powerstroke was a great truck , I just wanted a new truck as the wife and I are pulling the 5th wheel a lot these days being retired and like they say you can't take the money with ya.

NOTHING!!!!!!!!! The wife and I are on the road with our 5th wheel will be gone for a month from the ranch. Looking forward to getting back home have several projects to complete. But time with the wife is sweet , in Gardiner Montana beautiful area lots of game.

I say buy the biggest tractor you can use ,I've never heard anyone say I wished I had bought a smaller tractor. If your replacing a 30 hp tractor buy something in the 40 hp range.

Well by the grace of God I'm almost all healed up after my hiatal hernia surgery, the biggest problem is the Dr has me restricted to a 10 lb weight limitation that just about cuts out about 99% of everything I like to do. I have got caught up on my ammunition reloading and have been able to...
