The GM system by design illuminates the turn signal on the side of the bad ground or short when a voltage irregularity is detected in the stop/turn lamps. Ive had this trouble for years and the only diagnosis method I have is to turn the park lights on and walk around checking for dead light...

The Ing coil wire will work for the 12v activation for the Inj pump, but as for the sending units... the water temp is fine from the gasser. but the 6.2 ran a heavier gauge sending unit for the added psi of the diesel. they are readily availible over the counter, just get the one for the gauge...

The NV4500 overdrive 5spd is a common swap,,,,, however it seems to be a rabbit hole here lately on this site...

Buddy of mine had this problem some years ago with the military mechanic trailer (same class as the M105 trailer), he ultimatly got tired of changing the rings/split rims and constantly hunting military tires. So he dropped the trailer axle and some of the leaves, swung a 14b FF (14 bolt Full...

Ok,,, Looked at your pics on a full size computor screen instead of my 2" phone. You have a 10 bolt front with 8 lugs, this was used in the later 80s on the 3/4 ton trucks. Likely you have 3:73 or 4:10 ratio. SO DO NOT PUT IT IN 4X4 untill the ratios are confirmed the same. (ok thats my...

Finding an engine harness or modding your painless harness will be far more rewarding down the road than trying to re-engineer a 12/24 system. I understand having multiple 24s on hand, but if the K20 is 12, leave it be... it will be far easier to find parts for locally than special ordering or...

looked into this about a year ago and found I didnt have the time or the money to play the contractor game. As a wildland FF I would somewhat have the inside, but the red tape of gov/state contracts is painful to say the least. A local company here in the hills is Bill Paulton- Paulton...

Quote in yellow, my answers in gray text. The issue of the internal throughout comes up from time to time. I ask this,,, do you want to unbolt something from the side of your bell while laying in the mud or snow. Or get towed into a shop or your yard to drop a tranny/tcase ????? The...

Thanks MWMULES for the move/compile, Think I posted this in various forms in both 5 ton forums..... With the number of folks asking about wiper blades on MV's Do you think it needs added to the sticky section?

you can, but usually it requires running a really long line under the bellhousing over to the passenger side where the bump on the bell is huge and usually interferes with the passenger side exhaust/starter/ and front driveshaft. I used the clutch master from an 86-91 chevy (with assoc pedal...
