Hi All, Today was my 1st long run with my 52 Chevrolet 2 ton (Schuyler). My buddy and I made a 40 mile round trip to a landfill and I had about 1500# of load. All went well except 2 issues: When we arrived, I shut the old boy off, and there was just not enough oomph to get the starter to kick it back over. I am wondering if the fact I am still running on a 6 volt system coupled with the fact that I had lots of compression built up after the trip was factor. I am thinking if I convert to a 12 volt system this problem may be eliminated. I have heard there may be some sort of a converter that eliminates the need for replacing everything 6 volts - in other words it only sends 12 volts to the starter. Any ideas there???
Secondly, anyone ever had any experience with the the tranmission thrust washers? I am hearing a clattering in the transmission and am thinking and have been advised this may be the issue.
Hope to hear from you Bolters.
