Any 1970's or early 80's D or W pickup, 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton should have the same core support. I think so anyway.

Welcome. What GM Defense did was put in RPO's with Chevrolet Flint Truck plant for the specs that were needed, then the completed trucks were sent to an upfitter that added the mil goodies and the paint job. The paint code embedded in the VIN will be for the color on the firewall. The...

You gonna burn a lot of miles trekin back and forth to fix this fleet. This will be what 5 in cali now?

The dampner is a slight interference fit on the crankshaft. Typically the bolt can be used to draw it in place with minimal torque. Yours is being stubborn. More pull is needed. The 427 is a cool engine and all, smokes like a freight train, BUT hole in the block typically means scrap pile...

To me, if you have even the slightest bit of mechanical aptitude, it will be completely obvious if the ring is not seated prior to inflation. Remember the truck tire repair career path does not always attract the sharpest tools in the shed.

That bar is a Ken-tool TR11, not too expensive. Air tool you need an Ingersoll Rand 285B6 extended anvil 1" impact. A Ken-tool 30150 combo Budd socket to go with it. Tire tools you need a Ken-tool T23 lock ring tool and a T11E duck bill hammer. With this setup you can remove and...

Maybe I have that. Thought it was some kind of wax that precipitated out of the diesel. I used lacquer thinner to cut it in the primary filter, trying ethanol in the fuel tank. This is a LMTV.

Look for numbers stamped into the frame rail by the steering gear. 9525 etc. M54A2s were only built in the mid to late 1960s.

This is why I went with the viscous clutch. The fan fing freaked me out EVERY time.

The distributor caps are notorious for getting hairline cracks and then the juice jumps to ground right there. Do as G744 advises.

Are your batteries well restrained?

Set the intake while the exhaust is open, can’t go wrong with that. Firing order same on all multifuel versions.

You should be able to eliminate camshaft being sheared off by running the engine with the valve covers off and observing the rockers. Wow it must run pretty awful with only 2 of 6 cylinders contributing.

I would say you have this figured out.

If you drive your truck daily/weekly and do fluid flushes every few years, DOT 3 will serve you fine. If you don’t drive often and don’t flush, the brake hydraulic components will turn into a rusted mess. Silicone DOT 5 eliminates this problem. I redid my M38A1 Jeep with silicone fluid in...

My later model Chevy with 6.5 is giving me fuel fits as well, I am about to plumb in this fuel pressure gauge between the filter and injection pump so I am not flying blind anymore.

In the product reviews, someone posted a pic of the sticker on the unit and it says 90 amps, I agree that wire would be smokin’ with 90 amps going through it.

Wow it sucks 90 amps.

Hard or soft top? If soft, canvas or vinyl? If vinyl, tan or green?

Rubber hose between in tank pump and tank outlet has failed.
