    electrical problems

    you are saying the starter was turning over but not starting, you replaced glow plugs and now starter does not turn. have you done doghead mod? if not i would do that next. glow plugs and starter are not really connected in any way so your starter not working may be because of a bad relay and...

    Battery hook up

    yes yes you can hook both to power bar if you no longer have 24V system. I would put both POS cables under same terminal with pos. to starter sandwitched between. this will allow the highest amps possible to go to your starter. do not spread them out on the bus bar it will only create more...

    Most ridiculous workaround ever, or a COOL idea? (Air conditioning)

    ac tonage for those considering tonage/btu size. In building. One ton of AC is good for 500 sqare feet with 8 foot ceilings (4000 cu ft) with normal insulation. One ton = 12,500 btu. (= to 3.125 btu per cu. ft.) vehicles are different. newer ones are better due to High efficency glass and...

    M-1009 Transmission Coolers

    The stock cooler is actually a warmer more than a cooler. This is by design. It is a small section of the radiator thus allowing the trans fluid to warm with the engine on start up. It does function as a cooler under normal loads. when you load a diesel, any Diesel, the water temp will climb...

    This drivers side window is driving me crazy..Embarrassed to ask for help here..

    bent, loose tracks or bad regulator I would say that the lower guide arms are bent or loose. when regulator goes, normally it is the gear, not the arms. I just had my drivers side reg fail. it is the gears. I am replacing with electric windows. If the rubber is new, I had to get some spray...

    Could I pull a pop-up camper behind a M1009?

    week pintle hitch and cooler is part of radiator pintle hitch is week add 2 inch receiver. the cooler is a small part of the radiator and not good enough for towing. it works fine with no real load. but you will see your temps climb with a diesel the more you load it.

    what is the best year truck to part out

    95 tahoe to expensive I believe the only thing a 95 diesel tahoe would get me is a 6.5 turbo and tranny, no drivetrain upgrade plus these are not cheap used unless it is wrecked and then you may have a lot of bad parts due to that. 1 ton trucks are pretty cheap and i can get one still...

    I am pretty sure they built them with all of these parts. the one ton single rear wheel 6.5 using the 4l80e. now all the best years of those parts on one truck I may not be able to find but If I can get 90% its probably worth it vs. parts buying.

    mutilation hole, but repairable I have seen this once. My neihbor has one, he was told it was how they got away with meating the mutilation requirement and thus get them for free but can still re-sell. A hole in the diff cover does not meet mutilation requirement. A hole in the housing does...
