I made some more progress. I cut the 2x2 bottom frame into 1x2 to save as much weight as possible. I have to flip it over and get all of the welding completed then get it on the truck so i can figure the rear and front. The front bottom rail will have a couple of bends in it and I do not plan...

i have the us shift but look forward to seeing your finished product. I like to see do it yourself projects even if i do not use it. just for the info., the us shift works fine with the gm TPS you do not have to buy theirs. Also you may want to check on the 4l80e wiring harness. There is an...

I have an early model US shift. I only use the TPS and the RPM. The RPM comes from the dakata digital. The 6.5 TPS works with the controler It works really good but does have harder downshifts. To upgrade to the newer US shift controler I beleive I have to add the VSS signal and then I can...

started making some good progress on the roof rack and ran out of welding gas. What really sucks is I cannot get the bottle refilled until monday. I went ahead and started sanding and priming all of the metal I am going to use. I have most of the parts cut just need to get it welded. I am...

roof rack and rock sliders roof rack and rock sliders are in progress. I picked up the metal today and got started on the roof rack. I have way more metal than needed, they only sell it in 20 ft pieces so I have about twice what is needed but that is ok, I like having extra metal around, it...

I have a 5.9 in my motor home and love it, it pushes the 40 ft long brick down the road with no problem, I just think It is to much for a cucv. my 5.9 has a banks kit on it and hits around 290 HP. if you could get it balanced in some way so they did not vibrate so bad, it would be ok but they...

just replace the connectors with crimp on, Disconnect the wire from your resistor on the glow plug controller side and connect that wire to the 12Volt terminal block next to the glow plug controller, buy a new glow plug controller card if needed and then add a push button if you so desire. the...

where in texas are you? if you plan to keep it 12 volt then just buy the interior harness, your engine harness will have to be modified again to go back to 12 volt. you should not need the exterior lighting harness, these can be repaired easily There are 4 wiring harness sections, engine...

the socket un plugs from the light housing, if the wire pulls out of the socket then it is a problem, the sockets are available and easily replace.

just remember to disconnect the batteries when working on the starter, That wire is hot all the time. I like the stock 24volt starter, but the 12 volts work just as well I was able to get the stock starter rebuilt for about $200 which is more than what the 12 volt starter cost. but once you...

when my truck is finished it will have two spares, one on the roof rack without a rim and the other on a rear tire carrier with a rim. I have bead locks so I can change a tire on a rim in the feild if it has to be done, I hope I do not have to. I can use the one on the rim first and the second...

i can only say that the 4l80e with the 6.2 will dissapoint you. the overdrive is worthless unless on flat ground at sea level. There is not enough power to keep it in overdrive when taking an overpass. mine did not have a turbo but I don't think it would make that much difference. when towing...

Yours is looking really good. unfortunately work gets in the way of progress. Yes, it is taking a long time but it is my escape. I do not watch tv because I cannot sit still and veg unless I am completely worn out. So every night I am home and do not have office work, I go to the barn and work...

I was able to get most of the electrical work done. I picked up two more relays. I am using the glow plug relay for my aircraft landing lights that are on the front of the truck. I did this mainly so I would have a spare glow plug relay. I am using one relay for each light even thought I could...

I finally got some more work done. I was able to get the new custom battery cables installed with a 24v and a 12 volt disconnect. I installed the 24volt disconnect in a weather tight box in the driver side rear fender well, I used a heavy duty 1200 amp perko for the 24 volt disconnect which I...

I am planning on adding a perko disconnect switch in my electrical system for an electrical disconnect. If I install it on the output of the front battery so that only the front battery + is disconnected, will that be all that is needed. If I leave the 12 volt feed still connected to the - of...

it has been a while since I have been able to get any work done, the truck has been sitting. I have been starting the truck and letting it run every couple of weeks but have not driven it in several months. The battery boxes are done and installed with batteries In them, got the measurements and...

can you put it in the line that goes to your centerfuge. if it is close to where the block output is i think it would give you an accurate temp.

having the advertising in the thread really makes it hard to read. every thread i open has an add in the first post and the post is shrunk to a very thin column. Can this be removed, it makes the thread hard to read and I think the add banner can be placed where all the others are. This...
