i decided to drop by my second home :naner:
say hey to my friends here ....
finished the cucv about 2-3 months ago. my modded alternator works fine as expected. serp conversion works great!! runs great, drives great!
ill post a pik
the front WAS sagging. now its up where I want it, truck is level, but im not sure the OE dampers are long enough.
anyway, anyone have an idea of a damper replacement set that would be long enough?
ok so I call this a front drive shaft boot but apparently the local parts stores call it something else. what would they call it? where can I find it? i ripped it during the front suspension repair and upgrade and i need to replace it.

Looking for damper and stabilizer bar torque specs
Found the wheel lug torque on the cheat sheet at 90 ft lbs but it was listed for 1988. Seems a bit weak... my 2500 is 120.
I have the proper manuals but navigating and finding what im looking for is becoming a pain in my arse.
Im wondering what the torque specs are for the front and rear diff covers. Doing basic maintenance and oil change.
Later... new suspension parts installation. :D
Found the trans pan...
A little history first. I swapped the v belt for serpentine front end. Cs130 and cs130d alternators. I modified the 130d for the isolated ground. Sofar so good. No fires. Wires and leads reading proper voltages. 12 / 24.
When I purchased the truck someone had already done the manual glow plug...
Ok so someone forgot to label all the wires on this build. No sense in pointing fingers. What is done is done and we are where were at now.
Anyway...
The glow plug system and wait to start light worked pre build so I know it works and everything is fine. Just need a nudge in the correct...
Im under the assumption the 85 series 1008 / 9 are internally regulated? Or did I miss the external voltage regulator somehow? Just making sure before I put juice to it...
And the supressor from positive junction block to negative junction block is not required nor recommended?
Ok, so I have successfully isolated the ground for the cs130 alternator along with creating a cooling device and resistor just in case temps start to rise and the alt starts to blow... which im still expecting. the case has no ground connection. it checks out on a multimeter and "in theory" but...
so ive converted my 62 from vbelt to serp. successfully. now i need to wire the alternators.
on the downside i no longer can mount the old 27si alts. now im in cs territory.
please correct me if im wrong.
to my understanding the only alt that requires the isolated ground is the passenger...
im not new to 6.2's and 6.5's.
I need some help trying to figure this one out though.
I have a 85 m1009. ive done a good bit but down to the knitty gritty...
I am in the process of exchanging the vbelt to a serp setup. two of the larger reasons for this is because 1) the 6.5 damper pulley on...
