head gasket problem but it is only leaking water. If no water in oil and the coolant system is not getting pressure then the gasket at the cylinder is not leaking. so it would not cause the smoke problem or the loss of power. most likely the ip is causing the loss of power and .possibly the...

more work completed. I finished the rear interior supports and got the sleeves cut and holes drilled on one side of the truck. I have to fix one of the bolt locations, it came out to close to the window. I will be able to move it over about 1/4 inch but it is going to require some interior...

I like the ORD motor mounts that I used in my truck. They are smaller. using them with their high clearance cross member allows the cross over pipe to pass over the crossmember between the oil pan and motor mount. But since you are not doing a turbo it should not matter but you may want to look...

if you find another source for the bulbs let me know, I have two spares for mine and would like some more. They are great lights to have

finally got some more work done, I had to take a break due to work. I am building the interior bracing for the roof rack. I just finished the front braces and hopefully in the next few days I can get the back braces done. The back will be similar to the front. The angle braces were built so...

what amperage do you plan on pulling through the 24V plug. your work looks really good but I would caution you on that plug. it is for AC power and from the style should allow for 20 amps at 120. DC power takes a lot more copper than AC to pass the same watts. Once you get things plugged in...

nothing super special about that one, it is worth 5 to 6k just because they are getting harder to find. many of these trucks have had the speedo replaced so I would not trust the mileage anyway.

just worry about rust, don't worry about the mileage. due to the age, everything has to be replaced. IF the motor runs and it has no rust and the body is straight then you have a good truck. The mo

Leroy diesel sells the timing gear set if he has any in stock. I put that and the roller rockers on my new motor and the roller rockers were defective. They seized up and bent some valves along with spreading the timing gear retainer. I had the heads rebuilt and put the stock rocker arms and...

best deal on a lift is to do the ORD shackle flip and front springs. you keep the stock rear springs. Gives a 2.5 or 4 inch lift depending on the kit you choose.. you need 4 inches to do cross over if you ever want to do the cross over. The cross over is very nice, allows full steering range...

I put led lights in all of the lights except the front two turn signals. I kept those two as regular bulbs and the standard flasher works fine. Led in the side markers and rear lights. The led reverse lights I purchase work really well. I got everything from www.superbrightled.com

Have you checked it with a IR temp gun. It may not be that hot, my temp gauge is reading hotter than it actually is. Electric gauges can have issues. being in the same spot as the stock gauge should be correct. I would start by getting some other measurements from a separate source. Going...

Thanks for donating what you could. I can understand not wanting to do that work for what you would have to charge we all have to be able to live with our own actions. But I am glad someone is willing to do the work. You have to keep in mind that some peoples money is not as valuable as yours...

if you are going twelve volt then keeping the 27si alt is not needed anymore. you only need it for the 24 volt alt. but since you need more power just change the drivers side alt to a new model like: https://www.qualitypowerauto.com/catalog.php?item=551 This will solve your power problem. yes...

test your glow plugs. sounds like they are not working.

the bracket is easily damaged and most people take the existing bracket and straighten and reinforce it. most of the time it takes some additional metal and a welder to fix it. you will have to source a used bracket if you need another one.

take one with you to the parts store and they should be able to match it up

I have some lights that are 24 volt and I plan to use a 24 volt inverter. I believe I will keep the 24 volt system so I can use the same wiring and not have to upgrade a bunch of wires. I just need a little more power. I am planning to upgrade the 12 volt alt to a 200 amp minimum alt. this will...

I am looking to run an inverter for electric AC and I have a lot of lights some radios and eventually want to power a portable fridge. From what I have read the 27si alts on the cucv put out 100 amps each which give you either 100 amps at 24 volt or 100 amps at 12 volt. For every 12volt amp you...

I have been reading the HMMWV tm's about the alternators. I am looking to increase the electrical output on my cucv. I am considering a HMMWV 200 amp alternator but it appears they do not put out much power at low rpms. A lot of my wheeling is done at low rpms and apparently if you are only...
