Work your way back from the socket - that bulb is powered by the 24V relay. Check the connection to the PCB from the harness and double check that wire is good from the relay.

If you pull the cluster you are going to need to measure the terminals for the gen 2 idiot light. When the ignition is switched on one of the two terminals should be reading ~24V to chassis ground. If not, your 24 fuse is bad. It's important to note that the idiot light circuit is part of the...

Next step then is to check your fusible links and the other idiot light. Are the idiot lights turning on solid when you turn the key before you start the truck?

Sounds like your voltage regulator is going on gen2 at least - the idiot lights are attached to to field coil (what makes the alternator generate power), if the light is turning on that means the field coil is not being powered. Can you clarify this from your first post? That part about 24 on...

Double check your numbers on the Gen1 running voltage, I presume an error there. For the Gen2 voltages, measure from the alternator's ground lug to the terminals, not the chassis ground and it'll give you what would appear to be normal 12V voltages on your readings - it's best to think of the...

Yes, color me interested too!! I'm looking to clone or replace the battery cells in a bad pack.

Did plugs this morning - took an hour. Nothing swelled or broke, so count me lucky. I put in AC60G's in all 8 holes, used anti-seize, and torqued to 10ft-lbs (14Nm). Fired right up afterwards [thumbzup] Yeah that does seem low for MPG. To take out some of the day-to-day "noise" in your...

Welcome from California :beer: Congrats on the acquisition! My wife grew up where you are.

Based on photos and videos I've obtained, and eye-balling the stored package height, I'm guessing 72" - as luck would have it I've never had a tent out of a bag and had a tape measure available at the same time. I did "reverse engineer" the tents before I bought any of them - at first I was...

Vom, probably the best way to address your particular situation is to start at a scale. GAWRs are posted for each vehicle, and you can take your truck over a scale to find out how much payload is left. You can very roughly calculate what added weight goes to which axle by "slicing" the from...

You can conter that by adding a brace inside the door which goes from the two door hinges over to the door catch. That should give you 2' in two directions to stable hard points.

It also depends on the thickness of steel he puts on the truck. A square foot of 1" thick AR500 weighs in at just about 40.5lbs. You can do some math to figure out the weights of the other thicknesses, then multiply the weigh by how many square feet you put in. Of course, he also modified the...

No, once I've finshed the first pass, it'll be time to start the second :mrgreen:

And this morning... glow plugs. Didn't start on the first try, and I had the key turned to start for 10 seconds. Batteries and starter (12V 27MT) spun the engine strong but it just didn't want to take. Took out my multi-meter and got under the hood. GP relay had 12.7V at the battery side lug...

Looks like it came from an older cougar type MRAP. Is this somewhat close to what you see in there? If so that would make a good bit of sense. When a projectile impacts a hard surface like AR500 steel, it mostly shatters and those pieces follow the surface of the material it hit. Here's a...

Is that grille a delta or a zig-zag in cross-section? [EDIT:] Interesting - just realized that Jesse asked the same question I did :beer: [/EDIT]

On the line of discussion that this truck is my daily driver, I'm currently helping move a friend with it. Much quieter when the truck is full of stuff, so it shows that reverberation in the cab is a lot of my trouble. [thumbzup] The rear bench was reluctant to fold down, it took some...

You can probably replicate this (or just buy it): http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=578124

I saw this back in the 1990's. From the video brief I watched, it is a ranging pulse followed by a thermal shock pulse. The power of the thermal line is controlled by the range pulse, to deliver a thermal shock to the surface. This thermal shock is not necessarily strong enough to burn the...

Use a slow low-pressure expanding foam for that - a quick high pressure foam might swell your roof and pop in your ceiling. That is done on modern cars, as well as filling the roof pillars. Make sure you put in any wiring tubes you plan on needing first, it gets much harder to do after you've...
