or spend $8 and get a 7lb cap. That will hold a lot less pressure. Just try it and see I guess. Get one of the buckets he's got in the bed and fil it with water incase

Have him call Kevin Cragan at TI Dyno.
Kevin is in Ashtabula (only a few miles from Geneva) and does a lot of Diesel work.
Kevin's number is 440-474-2059.
Tell him Jim Rose referred you.

Hope he can fix him up.

There's a guy on OBN willing to help

Here's the link: IDI owner needs help in Ohio. - Oilburners.net

He just needs a number to call Festus.

Wow, I totally spaced out and missed the Geneva, OH part. Big detail.
Is he planning on running 90 East out to 95 North?
If not, what is his planned route?
Is he towing a trailer, have the truck packed with spare parts?
I can meet him somewhere on 90 in New York and try to haul some stuff back home if that helps at all?
I've got an 11' long x 6.5' wide flatbed I can pack with parts.
My trailer hitch might be a bit too tall...it's 25" from the ground to the top of the ball. I have a 2" ball hitch and a 2-5/16" ball hitch, and both are a pintle combination.
When he gets back up and running, let us know! I'll be on stand-by when he's running thru my area. I could go about 4 or 5 hours West or East of Springfield, MA on 90. Basically, between Syracuse, NY and anywhere back home to Maine I can help out with.

Can't get on OBN, how do we communicate without displaying personnel information publicly?

PM (private message), click on the members name. Then on the scroll down menu, select "Send a private message to _____ (users names)". That's the easiest way to send a PM.

The best way to check your PM's, at the top right corner of the page there's a box that says "Welcome Festus Hagen".
Underneath that, 2 lines down, you click the blue link that says "Private Messages".
That will take you to like an email account type setup. You can check your inbox to read your PM's.
If you have received a PM, then it will say "Unread: 1 Total: 10". Those aren't the same numbers you may have, but it's just an example.

I think she means how do you talk with the guy on OB. I just posted on OB, if nsjames sends me his email, I'll sent pm it to you Mrs. Hagen.

Oh good point, in that case you'll have to log into (or create an account and then sign in) OB and send PM's with the guy that way.
But Mac just said he PM'd the guy on OB with Festus's phone number...so he should be calling Festus anytime now...hopefully

Has anyone heard from festus? If i was closer I would head up that way. But with my ip acting up I don't think it would be a good idea.

Guy from OBN just called Festus, and was told he drained all the coolant from #2 and now he can't get the truck started.
