Disconnect ALL battery leads and make sure the positive leads are not touching ground. Then disconnect the alternator. The main thing to remember is ground loop induced current. Which means connect the welder as close as possible to the welding site. Process also matters, SMAW (stick) is the...

Converted the NATO 12 pin trailer to provide for civy trailer brakes and 12 volt supply. Sockets A, C and F on the truck were wired to the same circuit, blackout stop and marker ( C and F) and blackout (A) . Cut A free and used that for electric brake signal (civy blue). For the 12 volt...

Would mean more work. I'm already planning a water-methanol injection system to allow for greater fueling rate without overheating the pistons. The stock controller is working fine, don't feel like making more work. Edit to add: That actuator will not work with a stock air filter setup. No...

Make sure the shut-off solenoid on the plain cover positively shuts off the metering valve, otherwise you will have a run-away. Its easy to replace. Sure wish I could get such a governor actuator. My 1031 has a separate governor controller for the generator, big and bulky. It gets in the way...

Viton isn't created equal. While natural rubber is grown in Asia, my experiences with import small tires and Viton O-rings has me steering away from Chinese products. You know that smell of a certain discount tool store? Its from their rubber goods, mostly tires. And its a sign the tires are...

I had the same problem with stuck and broken bolts. I used Heli Coils to repair the threads. M10-1.5 threads.

The isolated ground is a modified non-drive end housing. Meaning you can modify any 27SI to isolated ground. Now food for thought..you can use any SAE J180 alternator. Plenty of Leece Neville alternators out there with isolated grounds. Just need to find the right pulley and do a little...

Got the speed controller..well built especially considering the origin. No documentation with the unit, I had to figure it out on my own. First is the testing. I hooked a 7506 single filament brake light bulb to the output, then used an 18 volt Ryobi tool battery to drive the motor speed...

The other online giant has reproductions. But caveat emptor, they are reproductions. Overhauling your existing stock is the best bet.

The stock horn was too plain for me, replacement cheap Hella high low too buzzy. So I splurged on Kleinn dual tone air set. Will use the PTO air system (120 PSI, 5 gallon) which can only be recharged with the truck parked. So I will have to wire in a relay to switch from Hella to Kleinn so I...

Switched the horn out to a high low Hella but those are too buzzy. So I am adding Kleinn dual air horns..using a relay so the Hella pair will be on by default, then a switch makes the Kleinns active. I have onboard air, just not always charged tank. I have to fix the leaks and will add...

One thing that was dead simple on my M1031 SECM. The left rear light cluster already had the clear bottom for the plate light. Just mounted the plate under the light cluster. Done.

Which may confuse the parts counter clerk as K5 civilian came with the LH6. So when ordering engine parts, use K30 engine. All other parts are K5 1984. M1009s came with an emissions exemption decal with national defense reason. K30s didn't need this as the LL4 was the diesel in civilian dress.

There are some parts successions where a completely different part number replaces the earlier. Rock Auto has the best info on this. Amazon can be iffy as over half their inventory is owned by a third party (Fulfillment by Amazon) or even fulfilled by vendor (Amazon is just the cataloging and...

In the parts TM (-20P and -34 P), column 4 is the manufacturer's part number. Could be GM or Dana etc..usually supplier. On the item description (column 5), you will also see a UOC and numbers. This is Usable On Code number and refers to the specific model number like M1008, M1009 etc. Its a...

$20 in scrap steel, an after noon on the weekend and a welder will have you a spreader. No more than 0.015" spreading, otherwise you can spring the case.

I see something amiss. First image, you see the friction disks but no clutch disk tabs in the carrier window. Friction disks are keyed on the ID to the side gears, the clutch disks have tabs on the OD which engage the carrier and you should see these in the window of the carrier. This window...

The power meter I installed is from MicTuning. Really happy with it since I ruined the calibration on the stock 24 volt meter when installing the coolant temperature gauge. The power meter has voltage, current, power and energy, more suited to the alternative energy market. I installed it in...

Not an issue. 12 volt conversions revert the vehicle back to stock, there is no need for a relay as the key actuated switch under the steering column can handle the voltage and current of the relay on the starter. The CUCV system required the relay as the dash voltage is all 12 volts. This...
