have not been on here for a while. I did not get the date code info but if you got a dalton 6.5 then it cant be that old.

Go 4" on the snorkel you can get the snorkel head from bretts truck parts in Australia it is a donaldson snorkel head . when I got mine the shipping was not an issue, may be a problem now. I used 4" exhaust pipe

your build is looking really good. Reading through the thread, have you considered just blasting, primer and paint. Powder coat is good but it will add a lot of weight and it is not possible to touch up when you decide you need to correct something or add something after the powder coating is...

adding a pop up to your trailer is popular with the mud boggers however in order to get a pop up narrow enough to fit the 8 ft width of the trailer you give up a lot. Most small pop ups don't have a bathroom and shower. Even the larger ones the shower is in the center of the pop up and the...

I agree with you on build it if you cant find it. I have had no issues with my camper but I have also done some reinforcement on the front. I have legs that attach to a cross bar that runs between the two jack mounts in the front. I have heard of people having the same issue you had with the...

I don't have any pictures of the truck with camper pulling a trailer. I have done it with my 18ft flatbed trailer which was hauling a small tractor. It will be November before my truck bed gets here and any more work happens to the overland build. I just posted this now because I think...

I recommend a turbo if you go with the 4l80e on a 6.2. I did the 4l80e swap on my 1009 and without a turbo it could not stay in 4th when going over an overpass in Houston. Not enough HP to run the tranny in 4th other than flat land and down hills which it was great for that. I changed to a...

Here is the start of my over lander. It is not a military vehicle but works well. I lived and worked in this for 8 months while working storms in Iowa and Louisiana. It is a big foot 9,6 (short bed camper) on my 2018 GMC 3500 long bed. There is a 90 gallon diesel tank between the camper and...

great work on the fenders. I did the fronts on my 1009 the same way but the back fenders are still stock, I would like to do the rear part of the opening on the back fender also but it cant move much without messing up the fender well so I am on the fence about it. Not sure I want to change the...

wow, I did not realize how long it has been since I last posted about my build. unfortunately I don't have anything new to post except I started working for a new company and it looks like I may have my weekends back soon to get back to work. I still have an oil leak to fix. The roof rack is...

one other note, if you get the ORD high clearance cross member and ORD motor mounts then the cross over tube fits between the oil pan and motor mount and will then go in front of the axle under the balancer to the passenger side. makes for a very clean install and keeps it out of the way of...

i have a banks 6.2 turbo for sale if you are interested send me a pm. have a bunch of parts to go with it.

remove your glow plugs make sure the fuel is getting to the ip and crank it over until fuel is spitting out the glow plug holes. while you have them out, test them either with a battery charger or jumper cables they should glow pretty quick. if you have an ir temp gun check to make sure they are...

after looking at the pic again, you should not have that many wires connected to the relay. your 12 volt terminal block is empty, most of those wires should go to the 12 volt terminal block and not the relay. Your jumper from the resistor should go to the terminal block and then to the relay...

that is the glow plug relay and yes when the wait light is on then there should be voltage there but when the light goes out it should stop and start to cycle on and off until the engine is up to temp then once up to temp, it should stay off. This cycling is controlled by the glow plug...

did you get the ground wires connected to the block. There is a ground wire from the cab and one from the bus bar. maybe these are not connected properly. You may have a wire shorted out on the block some where and the voltage is coming through the block from the battery/alt output and not...

I have been busy with work. I still need to remove the roof rack, paint and do the wiring for the lights and cameras. I have all of the supplies just not the time. I have been starting the truck on a regular basis and it starts really fast. I don't think the engine turns a complete revolution...

Most parts are available. They are not any more expensive than parts for new cars. Look at LMC.com and you will see the parts are still being made, some times they do not fit as well. Most of the parts can be purchased at your local auto store. Some of the military items can be hard to find...

thanks. none of my trucks ever had the jack or handle so I am not sure how I got these parts, probably laying under the seat or out of the glove box. That finger nail clipper works pretty good for cutting zip ties. thanks Rich

I was moving my parts collection today, going through and re-boxing items so I could get the barn cleaned up and I found these items and cannot remember what they are for. Can anyone identify this part. I have two of them.
