Mine says Silverado on the dash.

So what did the driver of the Dodge have to say for himself? Good to hear you survived mostly intact. I imagine his airbag might have abraded his face a little, but he suffered no injuries.

I used the richingalveston bracket set-up to mount the landing lights on the grill. I didn't weld the brackets though, since I don't have a welder (or the mad skilz to use it), but they're on securely. I would have had them wired if any one store stocked all the connectors I needed.

With a lot of modification, could a clutch be made from an AC compressor clutch? Those engage electrically. I also remember seeing an electrically engaged clutch on a supercharger in one of the Mad Max movies.... Seriously though, wouldn't it be easier (and cheaper) to just drive around the...

My speedo reads ten MPH faster than I'm going, and waves at me the whole time it's doing it, so I have no idea what my actual mileage is. :mad:

For mine, I pulled all the strobes out and modified the forward-firing reflector cups to accept some HID lamps. For the angled reflectors on each outer end I drilled a hole in the center and installed the bulb holders from some cheapo off-road lights and installed 55watt H3 bulbs. On the back I...

I haven't had any problem driving on the military bases (McChord AFB, Bangor Navy Base, or NUWC Keyport) with the lightbar on mine. If I added the stenciling "Military Police" I might get some grief. Speaking of... OP, are you going to be adding a lightbar to the roof...

OK thanks! I knew it really couldn't be that easy.

In lieu of starting a whole thread for a hopefully simple question.... My M1009 seems to be sitting a little low in the back. I'm not interested in putting a lift on it, and I really don't want to dump a ton of money into new springs, so I need a cheap way of getting the back-end up to level...

Is the ground wire that's connected by the outboard coolant overflow bottle bracket attached? I'm not sure what that grounds but I almost forgot to reattach it once when replacing the bottle.

There's a guy on my local craigslist selling some doors made by these guys. They might be able to help.

I don't know how it did that. I'll see if I can change it. Weird, I didn't mess with any of the color settings. Fixed.

I had an old Ford Courier that didn’t have power steering. When I bought it I noticed that the steering wheel was hard to turn, after a turn the steering wheel would not return to center on its own, I had to “unsteer” after turning. I lived with it like that for a few months until I got jammed...

I've been able to wiggle mine into the accessory position, but not reliably.

Doghead starter relay conversion - a must Everything else - opinions At least that's the impression I've gotten reading these forums. I did the starter relay mod, but the glow plug thing and the 12V conversion advantages seem dubious. Sine mine is working great I see little reason to change...

I replaced the shocks today. The truck is pushing 97K for miles, and I think the shocks were originals. They all came off without drama, reminding me why I am SO glad to be out of the rusty states. The backs went on ok, not much difficulty. The fronts were slightly more challenging because...

I ordered four Monroe shocks from RockAuto, should be here on Friday.

Wow, nice work. Can you send me the drawings? I would like to have a storage box made that exact size.

Every time is see one of these with new paint it makes me want to repaint mine. Then I'll need to fix that broken dash pad, then the interior paint won't look so good, then..... I really want to do mine in desert tan, since I was flying over there during the Gulf War. I thought you had a...

Good info even if I wasn't going to put LEDs in my truck. When I built the lightbar I used amber LEDs behind the amber lens because they only had amber LEDs. So it worked out!
