I have a simmilar issue, starter intermittently decides to misbehave. Is the 3116 starter able to be rebuilt with a rebuild kit or does a pro have to rebuild it? Ive been googling but no luck so far.

Wait, the steering wheel telescopes? And I thought I was spoiled with engine heated seats....

One slip and you hit the metal latch parts. That was his main fear. Also, you would have to bolt it back together. Chance of a bolt coming loose or eating away metal is higher. He didn't feel confident in being able to make a part that would be both low cost enough and strong enough to survive...

Glad to help! Anything else you need from me? So few updates on progress from today. Reinstalled the handles, the red neck jury rigged drivers side handle works and works well! Found a local shop that services larger vehicles and does safety inspections too. Missouri doesn't really care if the...

His plan was to bend up a piece of alumimum for the basic handle shape and add in resin with a fiberglass filler for additional strength. Problem is though that everything is riveted. It would require major drilling and work to remove the old handle, followed by additional work to reassemble it...

Mine was busted at pull handle. There was enough material left to drill a hole in the handle for a safety wire loop, redneck handle! Now lets hope it passes safety inspection....I already have to pay 600 for a windshield....dont wanna pay an additional 2-300 for a new handle yet...

The handle is made of cast Alumium. Further, it is riveted to the metal latch parts. He can make the handles, but it would require drilling out the rivets and bolting the resin piece to the metal pieces. Mods, go ahead and delete this.

So! Sorry for the late response! I have the promised pics of the hook! Also, my driver alert box will work as is, just need to find the dang cord. Spending the entire day tomorrow looking for that freaking thing.....

you going to toss the alarm switch, keeping it, or willing to sell? mine isnt in the best of shape......

Complained to my best friend about the broken latch on my truck. And the cost of a new one....nearly 300.... His eyes lit up when I mentioned that they dont sell the handle separate from the assembly. He is a movie prop & resin part maker by trade. He wants to take a try at building a...

i will post tomorrow morning with a pic of the snatch block. ill make sure to get the data plate as well for easier locating. funny enough, one of my warehouse tennants is a vehicle glass importer. im going to check to see if he can get it for less, he did get me a replacement 2014 jeep...

thank you both. it is in great shape, the filters were changed just before i got it, per the hours written on the filters at least... took a oil sample and will be dropping it off at my local cat dealer tomorrow. another thing that i just remembered, the driver alarm from the troop kit. where...

So this morning, the lovely delivery fairy dropped off my M1078. iron planet let me down a bit and missed a few things in the description.... THE GOOD: starter does need work, as disclosed. brand new tires all the way around the truck. spare even! drained about 3 cups of rusty, nasty water. so...

ok, cool. thanks for the info. ive got a call in with the awesome DMV at my old house in missouri.....love those small town places. they are checking with their supervisors in jefferson city about this. either a trip tag or plates. they have no problem plating this, as a commercial vehicle as...
