Well, got the starter rebuilt and went to put it on. What I additionally found was that the bolt didn't fall out. It broke off up inside the bell housing. Not sure what would cause that condition, but I decided that wasn't work I had time to perform. Also had them take the hubs apart and...

Very good points. Gives me something to think about.

Ok, I need some education. CDR? IP? Having just pulled the starter off myself, yes very certain it is oil. In matter of fact I am all but certain that the oil is what lubed the starter bolts and enabled the vibration and torque from starting to work them loose. For the past couple of months...

I was hoping that wasn't the case. Anyone done a rear main seal on one of these ole girls? How much is that going to set me back?

So starter went today. While taking it off to bring it in for a rebuild I noticed allot of oil around the work area. Reason it went was a bolt fell out (kind of surprising) and when I went to try and turn it over the starter twisted and broke off a portion of the starter housing and wouldn't...

Well my pipes have rotted off and its time to re-do the exhaust. Man it will be nice not getting all the fumes leaking up through the tailgate for a change. I want to put a HMMWV fording exhaust on my M1009. I got a guy that says he can do the work. Just wondering what you all thought, and or...

So forgive my ignorance, and for my resurrection of this thread. So what would happen if you used the spectra FG12A unit listed above http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=17326, but used it with a larger 31 gallon tank (you know so you would have a return)? Would it just not suck up...

Update, so this reservoir looks right, but the measurements are way off. I was able to pull it off with a little 550 cord, but ya not a true replacement by any means.

So ya, I got an e-mail from them today saying the item is discontinued. Back to the grind of finding one available somewhere. Ended up going with the NAPA part number 6053401 and ordered online.

Not even close. The new ones from auto zone are thicker and I have find mine cools allot better and makes my truck perform just a little bit better. Get the one from auto zone, you will see the difference when you put them side by side.

Ya I just found that. GM part number 14052221, found it here: https://www.gmpartsonline.net/part-number-search.html?searchText=14052221 Labeled as Cooling Radiator and components Recovery tank W/o ac 6 cylin. We will see when it comes in how close it is, but it should be the exact one. I saw...

Yup, thanks. That info really helped, and made this project go way faster than I anticipated. I am actually really surprised this only took a day and went together so smoothly.

Yes and thank you for your advise.

Wow, wow easy guy. I got the information I needed and ran out to get this ordered. I meant no disrespect to anyone, and only looked for solid advise which I received and haven't had a moment to get back here to post the results. You make a guy feel like if he didn't bury himself in the TM...

So this is the one I just put into the truck today. It came with a few adapters, the one for the low oil censor was a little narrow on the smooth bore end, but drilling it out to the threads on a drill press worked like a dream. It would seem the brackets are a little farther apart than the...
