Yes, the steel ones I know will work, don't know about the cast ones and the M66. You still need the clamp on the passenger door jamb. Put a renforcement plate on it or the cab will break.

Better there than on the floor!

Cut the filter open to see if there any sparklies in there. Aluminum is a piston, copper is a bearing. The most common failure on fresh overhauls are rolled liner packing. They egg shape the liner and all is OK 'till you load it, then it hangs a piston. 855 bottom ends are pretty tough. I vote...

Done this multiple times, here's my inventory... Folding cot, bag, Coleman stove, lanterns, propane BBQ, arctic tent...in case we need more room!...first aid kit, flag and pole, 3 merimites, 2 coleman/igloo ice chests, hutch with all the cooking utencils, TP, a few rolls of towels, shovel...

Also the small parts have a tendency to find their way into the cup plugs in the top of the head, take a magnet and feel around in there too.

Just for S&G, take the cap off the MC and look down in there. LIGHTLY depreess the pedal a 1/2 inch or so and let it up. Repeat this and see if fluid is making a little geyser in there or if there are bubbles or just nuttin'. Report back.

Get the correct one.

You or anyone else may do what they want, it's a free desert...sort of. Just, if you or whoever doesn't mind, please think of another name 'cause the reason it was named Dirtbag is because the original people that started are a bunch of....well, Dirtbags! Try something like Red Power Ranger...

Nope, not gonna happen. I have way too much on my plate to organize.

Make sure it's getting full throttle.

Why? All that extra crap is just more to go wrong. GM truck electronic locks were kinda prone to failure in the mid eighties any way. Same goes for the electric windows too. Leave it alone and just drive it.

Did it run OK before you did the things you did?

On the in tank pump there is a hose between the pump and the outlet of the tank. It can rot, crack, break. Check that too.

wow.

Ditto on the Norton crap. I had nothing but slowed down computers and issues. About a year ago I switched from IE to Google Chrome and Microsoft Security Essentials. So far none of the IE issues have happened.

Dishwashing soap for the tires...just wash it off after the paint dries. I use blue masking tape for gauges, reflectors, decals etc.

Welcome! Another So cal person! PM sent on a truck.

Small Cam...2" cam, Big Cam...2 1/2" cam. Cam diameter was increased to change metering. You can put a SC flywheel hsg on a BC but you need to modify the upper bolt hole to make it match up to the BC block...it was moved up and out to make room for the larger cam bore. There was also a 350 and...
