    Sold a 1031, titling issues with new buyer, need advise.

    I will add my opinion as well- I see no deliberate intent to defraud the buyer. Whenever you buy a vehicle as private party, especially cars, it is always buyer beware. There is no warranty. The buyer should have verified everything was acceptable prior to paying any money- it appears that this...

    cucv started blowing black smoke

    It is normal for some black smoke on acceleration. Since you stated that this is a recent issue I am not thinking that you are refering to the normal amount of smoke, which should not be that much. Some more general causes: Incorrect timing Dirty or worn injectors...

    cucv started blowing black smoke

    Well, black smoke to me means to much fuel or not enough air. If you don't see any obstructions in the air intake it is time to look at the fuel. There are some great troubleshooting procedures in the TM - which you can download for free. My 'guess' without actually following the TM, is to...

    Overheating, and it's 110 out

    It still could be another bad thermostat, bad water pump, radiator, head gasket, or cracked head. Lot of troubleshooting info in the TM. I am not a fan of those chemical flushes- it seems to me that many times after using them you will have an issue, probably due to flushing out rust or crap...

    Offer on broken MEP-003a need advice...

    As stated above, it is not worth much except as scrap in the current condition. Now if the seller were to fix it- it would be worth it. The ones on e* are primarily people trying to make money off the ones that they bought from GL for half the price. You could take the chance on GL for about...

    Resistor Bypass now won't start

    Steve- how did you do the resistor bypass? Before the mod you would have measured 24V on the wire feeding the solenoid when not activated. Now it should be measuring 12v as part of the mod is to move the source voltage wire to the 12v source.

    batteries diconnected sparks from alt

    Since you appear to have a perpetual generator- you should capture the energy and sell it! You will make a fortune....until your battery or something dies.

    Another Air Conditioner alternative

    While it may "work", those air conditioners will need to draw air from somewhere for it to send the waste heated air down that 4" hose. It will draw it right out of your cab, which means it will be pulling in hot replacement air through every leak, crack, and vent. It may not result any much if...

    may have to part with my m1009

    This is very subjective to the condition and finding the right buyer. I would think that one in good to really nice condition, not needing any work, would be in the 2k-4k range. If you are looking for a quick sale it would likely have to be priced lower than you think it is worth.

    MEP-005A Fuel in Engine Oil

    Diesel is a form of thin oil. Since you said it was running fine there probably isn't any mechanical damage. I would say that it is worth fixing.

    Engine Oil used in TH400 instead of Dexron

    Were did you see that 15w-40 is listed for use in a T400 transmission? Please post your reference

    I Have not run into that one. Did it still work?

    Alternator Case Burning hot?! Need help

    By any chance do you have Optima (like Redtop) batteries? They can draw a huge amount of power and take a long time to charge up.

    Alternator Case Burning hot?! Need help

    Maybe...if you have a bad cell in one of the batteries. You could also take them to an auto parts store for a load test. The alternator would get hot if it is putting out a lot of current - this happens when there is an electrical load. It could be batteries, glow plugs, something else, maybe...

    Alternator Case Burning hot?! Need help

    It may be normal or a bad battery, just trying to charging up the battery? Put a clamp on amp meter on the wires to see where the current is going. If you see 80 amps from the alternator and 80 amps on the battery then thats all it is. You could also check the rest of the wires- you should be...

    mep-002a Problem

    Just do a google search for the TMs. They are available on this site as well as others and should be considered a "got a have" document.

    mep-002a Problem

    Time to follow the wires and measure voltage, or look at the schematic in the TM and start troubleshooting. Is there voltage on both sides of the DC breaker?

    mep-002a Problem

    Well, the way you connected it does not have anything to do with the DC power. I would start troubleshooting the DC power issue, maybe the batteries are dead?
