The shop is in Grand Mound, Ia. His name is Dick Hesse, and he is a wicked builder of diesels. He builds machines to run at the Salt Flats and weight pulls. He has an inground dyno in the shop that he runs machines on all the time.

I just spoke with this company after you showed this to me. I am right by this co. so I am gonna stop there tomorrow before I head out of here. I spoke with a diesel shop back in my home town, and he says that the 3,000 to 3,500 rpm is fine withthese trucks motors and that they actually like...

Thanks for the response! I just asked the trans shop about the torque converter, and he said it is not a locking torque converter. I am not a trans man, I just intsalled it... so, is this RPM bad for the thing to run? It is a 2.5 hour trip for me to get to Chicago. It seemed to run great and I...

I am trying to find an answer to what my M1028 would be running with 410 gearing and stock tires on the highway at 65 to 70MPH? Can anyone give me a clue, and I would also love to install a tach on the thing but have not a clue as to where I would need to hook one up at on the motor!!! Please...

I am trying to see what kinda of RPM this M1028 dually shoild be running with the 410 gear set KI put in it with the stock 235 tires on it, or 31" tall tires on the highway at say 65 or 70 mph! Warthog, would ya have a clue about, as to what rpm it is running at 65 or 70mph ?or anyone else on...

Well just got done taking tracks off a set of nice Suburban seats, that are supposed to be able to bolt up to the m1028? I bolted them to a nice set of early 80's Blazer bucket seats. Gonna see if they bolt in easily or not tomorrow. I am gonna have to drill one hole and tap the hole, or just...

Up date on my dually..... It is up and running like the Monster it is!it was missing the relays under the dash, and the diesel tech. Fixed the circuit board problem! Now I got to fix the stupid K Series truck bucket seat that I bought out of a 1ton chevy K Series truck. I put um in the truck and...

Thank you Mr. Warthog! But, just 1 more question, please.... Is the cluster just changed through the relays and diodes to work with the 2nd alt. because the other K Series trucks don't have 2 alts? Thanks, huggy

So, the one with idiot lights will work from a K series truck or blazer then? But, they didn't gave 2 alternators, the mech, says so, how would it work with the cucv having 2 alternators, or foes the cucv wiring just redirect voltage through how it is wired to the 2nd alternators spot? Thanks...

Hi, Warthog... Hey I just took it to a shop that is a guy who is known all over the country! For real he is wicked. Hesse Automotive in Grand Mound Ia. He is a diesel GOD, he builds racing diesels for Salt Flat time trials and has his own in ground Dyno at his shop.... Anyway, the circuit board...

The alternator was rebuilt by a friend at his starter and alternator repair shop, that is also an Auto Electrical/Repair shop. We know it is ok, because he showed me with a tester Eire with a little light on it, like the trouble light in the dash wired in it that also,has clips on one end and a...

Great.... I don't know what to look for in this truck. Like I said, I don't believe the 24 volts is at the solenoid/relay under the dash that is by the volt meter solenoid/relay and the 5 prong ignition relay. I had checked for 24 volts at the 5 prong relay when I wired up the dog head relay...

The reason I want to do the conversion to 12 volts, is because from my understanding of what and how it works is that it obviously changes it to 12 volts in parallel, so then my 24 volt would be gone, so I am hoping that the lack of 24 volts to the exciter wire's solenoid down by the 5 prong...

My exciter wire 12v ignition for the #2 generator source doesn't have 12 volts source. I had an ignition problem where my 24V ignition was wired with a push button with a straight 24V source off the 24V block and was wired directly into a purple wire of my wire harness coming out of my fuse box...

Yep, the alternators can be the problem for sure... I just got done jacking with one of the 3 cucv's I own now. The one I had the same problem with is a M1028 Dually I just got a few months ago. I replaced the alternators today and the problem is gone. I checked it with a test light as soon As I...
