I just read the post to see that you don't know who you got the motor from, I think I sold you the motor. IF you met me in lake Charles on 3-29-19. my PM's on the steel soldiers account got erased so I cannot confirm that it is you that I sold it to but I have text messages on my phone dated...

before you pull the engine, you need to pull the heads and check the head gaskets. if you put either in it, you could very easily have blown the head gaskets out.

what method are you using to do a compresion test. you need to pull the ip wire, pull all glow plugs so you can get good speed on the starter and then test one cylinder at a time. make sure the injectors are torqued to the right spec and have the washers in place. the engine should only need...

they will get painted and i plan to make a lid for them out of some rubber, they are not water tight, they have some drain holes in the bottom. water will not hurt them, I just want to keep them as clean as I can. I plan to install a two inch conduit (hard pvc pipe) on the inside of the frame...

under truck battery box I got the battery boxes in place. I still have to add two mounting tabs to each one that connect the box to the frame they currently just have one tab on the top of the box. The boxes have 8 inches of clearance between them and the axle, no chance of them hitting the...

looking at the picks, yours are 12 bolt. to run these rims you normally have to have spacers. so you may want to see what spacers are there (aluminum or steel) and offer those with the wheels. the spacer is probably worth as much as the wheel. also good to check and see if the run flats are...

no, the wheels are a separate value The 24 bolt wheels are worth more than the 12. I don't know the current value for the wheels

being that you can buy good take offs for approx. $100 each +/- $25, i would say they may be worth $50 each if they are not dry rotted to much. if you can find someone who wants them. If they are dry rotted real bad then they are probably not worth anything. you might find someone close to you...

I did search some more and found some 24V dc roof top air conditioners but they are pretty pricey and are not here in the U.S. so I think shipping would be expensive also. I also had some time to think about it and I beleive I am better off with a 120v unit with an inverter. I can then plug...

under truck battery boxes Got a chance to work on the vehicle again and I have the battery boxes almost finished. I need to trim the covers down to the battery hight, install tie downs, add a rubber flap to the top to help keep the top clean and also bolt the cover in place. I will then need...

thanks for the reply, I am looking at the rv roof top ac units, I have not found any that were direct 24volt. most of those that are, are freezer units. I will look some more but the smallest rv roof top ac unit is 9000 btu with two speed fan and it only pulls 13.5 amps at 120v so yes I have...

if the engine is stock, there are two lift rings on the engine. one on the rear of the motor passenger side and the other on the drivers side front of the motor. If you have a spreader bar to hook to these points and the engine hoist hooking to the middle of the spreader bar then the engine...

looks good, post some picks of the roll cage when you have time. It is on my list but way down at he bottom for now.

Looks like you have a good project. If it were mine, I would go back to an auto tranny. I don't like off road vehicles with a manual. way to much clutch work for me. I had a jeep before my 1009 and off road it was a work out. I think the hose's need some attention, other than that I think you...

have you checked he linkage. the 4l80e is a little longer so the shifter linkage needs adjusting to reach 4 lo.

I got the new battery boxes 1/2 built. they are heavy duty because I use the material I have on hand. The backs and bottoms are 3/16 steel and the sides are 1/4 inch. The front covers will be 1/16 stainless because I have this also on hand. So far the only metal material I have had to buy for...

splitting the output of the drivers side alt by taking it to the 12 volt terminal block (it actually already goes there) and add a seperate 12 volt battery then also feeding it into the second alt (which it already does). Therefore you can take a 200 amp 12volt alt. on the drivers side and...

that is really good work. now that you have it together, do you think 6x6 box would work with room for the winch. The 8x8 looks good on your truck with the flatbed but I am looking to build a sturdier bumper for my 1009 where I can retain the brush guard and I think yours is just a little to...

there are a lot of suburban clones being done, I have not seen that many civy blazer units made to be like a cucv. The hardest part would be removing all the exterior trim pieces and filling the holes and then putting in the black out switch would probably be second but that may not be needed...
