    You're gettin there. What I like about Peterbilt wiring is they're color & numbered coded, makes it easier to see what goes to where.

    Sometimes, when you get the manifold off, if you're lucky, there may be enough of a stub sticking out from the broken stud to grip with a pair of vice-grips. If there is, good, but don't clamp onto it yet. Heat it cherry red with your torch, let it cool, heat it again, let it cool somewhat and spray it with penetrating oil. Don't heat the head, only the stud. It'll come right out. Patience is the key...

    On trailers, are turn signal lamps and brake lamps combined or are they seperated? Assuming seperated since the 7 pin plug has a seperate wire for brakes and for turn signals.

    Well, that all depends on your personal taste. Terrain your driving will effect cook time as well, hilly terrain will create higher cooking temps.

    A small possum being about the size of a 1/2 grown rabbit, so.....


    Rare: 45 - 65 miles.
    Med: 80 - 105 miles.
    Well: 125 - 155 miles.

    Hope this helps, oh and look for gravel in the meat if you get that possum off the road...... :)

    If memory serves me.... yellow is left turn / brake.
    Green is right turn / brake.

    Not sure, but it only took about 15 minutes to cook the family of mice that took up housekeeping in the plow trucks muffler. Man did that stink...

    The "numbers" are proving the reason why drugs to the public take so long for final approval to market. Side effects, ailments not associated with the vaccine are increasing, death rate is climbing even within the vaccinated group. Sorry, but I will opt out!

    That would be on an automotive style flat pin RV plug though. With the 7 pin round it has a red wire for brake lights. Never really thought much about if commercial trailers had seperate brake and turn lamps on each side.

    Hell I’m trying to remember. Been a long time since I had one apart, but I do have it written down in the shop....

    Yeah they're usually separate. Outside lights are signals, inside brakes.
