Always buy extras because they are torque to yield, which means single use. If you take them off, throw them away and replace with new every time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What do you plan on towing this thing with? Absolutely nothing about this idea seems like a good idea. I mean that in the most respectful way possible. Seriously, take other guys advice here and start with a bigger truck before somebody gets hurt or killed. Overloading trucks to that level is...

That really sums it up. I'll add my $0.02 though. They have some electrical issues, most of which can be resolved through good maintenance and some common sense. Expect other "old car" problems: rubber hoses, belts, lines etc rotting, rusty locked up brake hardware, gear oil that hasn't been...

I'm not sure I'm allowed to say.

What brand LED headlights did you get? I'm looking at the Truck-Lite ones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Perfect. Just to be clear, I should be able to stick the reflective tape on the balancer itself and get a accurate RPM reading?

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but I have something to add/ask I want to try that laser tool because I checked all three of my multi meters, two Fluke brand and one Fieldpiece HVAC meter and none of them do frequency. I guess the big question I have is where on the motor do you measure...

So like during a tractor pull? Or pulling a trailer slowly uphill?

Cool, keep us posted.

So did you ever get your truck up and running?

I started to great reassembly process. I had the core support out for media blast and powder coat. Also had the drivers side fender off. I put the core support back in and still have to put my new wheels in, batteries, headlight harness and all the other crap that goes with that.

All this talk about Gimpy is making me want to take a trip to the BEEFCO warehouse to check out their spring line.

Chris is a stand up guy for sure. Helped me out with some Chevy parts I needed a few months back. The world needs more people like Gimpy!

I'd like to see how that turns out. While I am a little bit of a purist and I love the Chevy diesels, I'm not above throwing a gasser in one to replace a worn or trashed motor.

Welcome to the site, I'm up in Cleveland if you ever need anything.

I'm not savvy to helo talk, what are PCL's?

I literally just say that about 10 minutes ago on Leroy Diesels website. Looks intriguing.

I've seen his build thread before. He did a nice job on that motor. That was a 1999 I believe. I'm thinking of putting one in my 1984 M1009. I couldn't find much on putting a P400 in the older trucks.

Looks like a cool truck. Welcome to the forum from Cleveland Ohio!

So I've been thinking about doing a motor swap in the next couple years. I'm just kicking ideas around now and I really like the idea of these two motors. I can't seem to find a good comparison between the two. I guess the P400 is the better of the two. Another question I have is how would the...
