I looked in a few parts explosions online and didn't see anything. This is a single lip seal on the tcase right? You may be able to pull it and try to get a number off of it. You can also look or measure for dimensions. Just because no one stocks it doesn't mean a seal doesn't exist. Any good...
Even with no assist, my M1031 has been able to start without issue in sub freezing temps. It is cranky, requires two cycles, and certainly does not want to go to work without a significant warm up period. All components need to be functioning in order for this to happen. If you have one week...
I love the turboencabulator...I didn't know that the turboencabulator had a control module network interface connection on a Cuck Vee :)

You will hear a distinct rpm change if idling and also the diesel clatter will become less immediately if the cold start circuit kicks off whether you are driving or idling.
This is a great sign things are working correctly.
I absolutely do not understand how people butcher or do not...
Pretty sure an injection pump has no choke. The visor states to press down half way if a certain temperature range, depress fully if below a certain temperature. This is rocket science. It has been stated and well documented on here and in the TM. I think people are messing this up because the...
If all your connections check out you may have a bad regulator or other internal piece. I had a very random Gen light flicker after rebuild. I ended up replacing both regulators and the problem never came back. This is assuming everything else is ok...follow Warthog's info first to rule out...
Here is the deal with the gov-lok...whenever a difference of axle shaft speed occurs the little centrifugal weight starts to spin. When it reaches a 100rpm difference (if I remembered that correctly) a little pawl locks the side gears together using a set of clutches. The best way to get a...
Air or electric locking diffs cause both shafts to turn at case speed when activated all the time. Detroits are mechanical lockers which have no activation.
I personally like when it just randomly unlocks one tooth while driving in a straight line. Always keeps the driver awake and serves as a reminder to check tire pressures :)
It's just vacuum, take it to auto parts or hardware store. Use anything like copper, steel, etc. as long as the rubber line goes on tight and you don't link it.
It literally takes less than an hour to replace the heater core and burp the cooling system. Suck it up and just change it. I kept milking mine because I felt like it was going to be a long painful repair. It takes longer to install those valves or bypass the core then to just get it over with...
How do you figure? If the goal is highway cruise speed and he owns a non M1009 variant, an SM465 will probably not be a good choice. As a back up truck that is back roads only, maybe the SM465 is the best choice because it came stock making a civilian parts swap pretty cheap. Just trying to get...
