The push bars were fabricated in state or probably penal system shop. They had a few suspect welds, lots of bubbles. The white paint jobs were single layer, after the CARC was blasted with plastic grit. I've restored one, inside and out. I'm pretty sure I know the provenance of your's.

Life has been in a holding pattern for a year with family illnesses but I've been acquiring parts.. I have the transfer case to 4l80 adapter (Advance Adapter), factory throttle position sensor and Dakota diesel tachometer interface. Next is engine mount adapter plates and the 6x transmission...

Interesting. I'm doing the similar but using a TCI 6X package which has the controller. I have a NIB GM throttle position sensor and a Dakota Digital alternator W term converter for TPS and RPM respectively. I have the Advanced Adapter 0410 for transmission to NP 205. Yes, this is a 7000...

Glow plugs..wait light was on too long so I finally had time after work on Sunday morning. I had Bosch DTs on hand, trimmed the spades down and got my tools..stock GPs are 3/8", have the deep socket. But Bosch are 10mm so I had to use a combination wrench. Fixed the starting problem...

Tin plated copper. Definitely

All depends on how hard it was run. Oil cools the pistons, that pre combustion chamber means a jet of flame is constantly bearing against the middle of the piston. When the pistons overheat, they drag on the cylinder. Too little oil and the aluminum will smear, the engine is toast. Mains and...

Voltage is but one quality of alternator health. There are 9 diodes in the alternator which can fail and cause unsteady voltage. I've had failure of one, it was a dead short and desoldered itself but not before taking out one alternator belt. On a cold start, you can expect 80 amperes just...

15599225 is the part number. Its on the wiring diagram E11 on the -34.

Careful on gear choice. Even though you have fat torque curve at low RPM, the 4.10 really helps get those 8000 pounds of vehicle weight off the line. This is why I am going with an OD in my M1031 (right now sitting portly at 8300 pounds). I will be using a modified 4L80 with a lower first...

F yeah! Love the RRAD style driver's seat ;) Good call on engine stop precaution of leaving it in low range. But with the no idle, all was safe. Yes, the LDS and 6BT do sound similar, they are both inline sixes, overhead valve diesels with the same firing order. Even a minimally muffled...

No way to run a compressor off of 12 volts. Unless you are very handy, any electric automotive air conditioner is going to be very expensive. Yes, they are out there but they run special lubricants (hermetic compressor with motor in refrigerant) and typically draw 40+ amps of 24+ volts. I bet...

Its most likely R12 and the compressor is on the engine. I would replace the compressor with a modern R134a unit, flush the old mineral oil from the evaporator and TXV, replace the hoses with modern barrier units, evacuate and charge. If the compressor is worth salvage (turns freely and...

The gasket set I got from Amazon has gaskets for all manifolds, including earlier EGR options. Delphi 7135-263. Get a good gasket scraper, plug the intake ports with paper towels. Crowfoot wrench set with long extension helps on the IP nuts on the injector lines. While at it, this is a...

Had an idle speed rattling noise, thought it was torque converter bolts or flex plate falling apart..luckily it was just the starter heat shield. A five minute fix turned into a two hour exploratory wrench spinning exercise. Now to change the oil.

Leaking injectors will cause far advanced injection timing..actually there will be fuel in the combustion chamber as the piston is approaching TDC.

I am doing a 4L80 conversion of sorts. TCI 6x. Planning on same TPS and using Dakota Digital for ESS. Moving engine forward to keep TC fixed . My 1031 has functional and needed PTO generator and air compressor. The 6X has a 2.98 first gear and splits 1 and 2 with the OD planetary to add...

Something wrong with transmission to engine alignment. Check transmission mounts ASAP. Any transmission fluid leaks from torque converter?

If the relay checks out, test the temperature sensor and when cool, make sure you get 12 volts to the small terminal on the relay. If the sensor is good but you don't get 12 volts to the solenoid, then its the module. There are newly manufactured units available here.

Check the relay. Label wires, disconnect and remove. First test the coil (small terminals), should be 12-30 ohms. Then connect the ohmmeter to the big terminals and energize the solenoid with 12 volts. The ohmmeter should read less than 1 ohm (test the ohmmeter by touching the leads, should...

The thing is I know this road very well, I know where it floods, normally. Grass and leaves created a fence dam, causing ponding. It wasn't moving water, I was just going 20 MPH under the posted limit, should have been going 40 under posted. I checked the air filter, not a speck of water...
