How about a Detroit Locker for the rear?

I have seen one with a M37 foot starter He just pushes it with the palm of his hand and counts to ten. Simple and no extra stuff to fail. It looks like a knob and it pretty tough for a kid to push and hold.

Rareeletrical.com They are new reproductions. But they have worked well for me. Both alternators and the starter on my 1028 came from them.

You are 100% correct. I just took a Machine lubricant analyst class for work. It's scary how bad motor oils have gotten. According to my instructor the best Diesel engine oil ever produced was removed from the market in 1985. Before that oil was improved based on it's lube qualities. It is now...

When assembling take the hose off the outlet. Put some never sieze on both the outlet housing and the housing that the hose connects to. Place the new gasket on the part that connects to the hose. The never sieze will hold it in place. Stick your finger through the hole and place the thermostat...

Yes east Texas mud sticks to everything.

I used bailing wire from tractor's supply. So I can remove it if I need to work on it. I used 1 inch wide for the headers and 2 inch wide for the Y-pipe. Then 2 inch wide to just past the T-case. The dog house is way cooler to me. I removed the headers and Y-pipe to install it. That way I...

You can also try header wrap on the exhaust. IMHO it helps with both heat and noise in the cab.

If your making some for sale I'm in!

I would take issue with the idea that sulfur ins't a lube. This has been known for decades. Hence the reason IP's were dying left and right in the 90's when they started removing it. IMHO this article is a little misleading. Yes 2 stroke oil will not make a difference in a CRD engine. Really...

It seems the only way to know is after a IP failure. Then pull the head off and see if it is scored up. I personally have never tried 2 stroke oil. Maybe I will put some in a mason jar with some Diesel fuel and see if it will stay in soulition or settle to the bottom. It's hard to believe that...

Pull the heads on the engine you have. Just to make sure it's not a blown head gasket. You might be able to fixit for less than $100.

Using the neutral safety switch would be a idea. So you wont have to hack up any wiring.

I'm thinking your right they have got to a some kind of radio ant covers. Thanks for your help.

That's what is throwing me. I can't find any numbers on them. Stamped or black printed. They are die stamped and formed. Thin sheet metal. Although you can't tell in the pic, They are green CARC. I found them in the stoage box under the passenger side rear seat. Along with a treasure trove of...

If you are crazy then we all are. Yes they are good, simple trucks to work on and to learn on. Yes you can sink a lot of money into them, But parts are pretty cheep online. Welcome to the green iron club.

Can someone tell me what these brackets go to? I found them while cleaning out my 998.

I know GM PS pumps have a pressure relief valve inside. It just dumps back into the tank. It is for when the steering wheel is at a full lock I didn't see where you changed the pump. If you did, I missed it. If you did there is a good chance it was a bad rebuild. My luck lately has been poor...

seems like it would hold a lot of dirt also

A banks sidewinder kit for a 80's Chevy with a 6.2 would be very close to working. A 6.2 with vbelts is clear at the passenger side front of the engine. where the banks mounts. The cross over from the drivers side manifold comes around the front just below the harmonic balancer. The oil feed and...
