I finally replaced the 12 volt pump with a 24 volt pump. The difference in buying pieces to change the 12 vdc to 24 vdc vs buying a 24 volt pump complete was only about $200 so I figured it would make sense to be able to use the 12 volt pump on a different project. So that's what I did. The...
Here is the hinge setup I used on mine. The pins are 1", I believe, but my bed has been cut down almost 3'. I built a sub-frame of 2 X 2 x .25 square tubing and bolted it to the factory bed mounting bolts. I did remove the wood rail caps. I can pull the bolts and unplug my power and remove...
Thats what I was thinking. : (
Does it runs all the time when the transfer case is turning?
Thanks for the info. I guess I will try to sell it as I don't have a 5 ton! : (
"See it here... CW for forward H & L; CCW for reverse. (when looking at the front side of PTO)
That is always - as long as the clutch was engaged - and no matter if the transmission was in any gear or neutral. (the PTO is driven by the reverse idler gear, which is in constant mesh with the...
You are so right. What was I thinking. But I already have the winch PTO stuff! And I think the pump I already have is one direction since it has a larger input port then output port but I will look into that. I could go with just using one direction (i.e. forward only vs both forward and...
Guys, I have converted my M35 to a bobbed truck and installed a dump kit on it with a 12VDC pump and controls. I have trouble keeping the one battery it is hooked to charged and it is so slow to dump and drop. The pump is required both on lift and drop. No fun. I have a (not yet installed)...
I sold mine and I miss it! The kids needed more room so I went with a Suburban instead but I miss the simplicity and the diesel smell. I guess I could pour a cup of diesel in the floor of the Suburban.
I got a notice from Cummins yesterday that these engines will be available to order on the 29th! Still no price but that will have to be available on the 29th. Time will tell.
Price?
The only thing they have not said is the retail price for these re-power engines. Ive attempted to get a quote several times but they have not responded yet. Still waiting. I see guesses from $8K to $17K!
It is good to hear they have been reliable. They are lighter then anything close...
It's Running Again!
Thanks SGSC-G4 for the offer. I ended up installing the tube into the engine until it started tightening up, turned it back just enough to get the top of the tube away from me and pulled slightly (pretty hard) until it was straight. I only pulled once and could not feel...
Thanks for the responses. I took it apart last night again and found what looks like a bent tube on one of the filters so I will attempt to straighten it today and go from there. I have access to a replacement if necessary but a good drive away from home to get it. The base was/is clean and...
Guys,
I finally got around to draining the oil in my M35 today and installed the new seals that came with the filters. The old were rubber and the new were fiber. They fit in the outside groove fine and looked pretty much like the ones that came out. I put oil in and fired her up and blew...
Nice Seats!
Sharecropper, Nice Seats and floor! I just picked up a 1991 V1500 Suburban with a bench seat in the front and I miss the buckets of my 1988 V10 Suburban. I'm now looking for a set of seats like this. Nice job. How is the back coming along? ballencd
I hung my tag on 1" wide webbing from the top of the ceiling inside the tailgate window. One year out of 18 I was asked where my light was when getting it inspected and told them I never had a light. I failed that inspection so I installed a light and ran the wire down to the trailer hitch...
What happened to the military tires???
If I missed it in the thread I apologize but I was wondering why you changed the wheels and tires from the 20"??
I used to use a Coleman stove on low for a few hours under a cold Chevy 350 when the temps got down to single digits and it worked every time. Also pulled the battery and brought it inside over night too which seemed to help.
