Zero deg this morning. 1028A2 Doghead and GP resistor bypass only Mod's. Been sitting outside for a week,Cycle GP twice started right up. It's all about the PM work you stay on top of! Tom

No Howard. If I remember(not likely) but the governor on the 6.2 cuts out at 64mph? Somewhere around there. Have a Safe Trip! Tom

Have Fun and stay Safe Howard. Going to be plenty windy up there. Be sure to take Pictures. Tom

Nice Job. You should depress the accelerator pedal 1/4 and hold while starting,and release it when it starts. It helps set's the cold fast idle,and excites the Alt. Tom

Memphis Equipment list an NOS fan on there parts page. $60.00 Seems reasonable enough. Tom

George is a character isn't he! Great Guy. Not many left like him. Tom

The hose will be replaced. it's not as close as it looks in the picture. I have since wire tied it up and back farther for now. I'm well aware of the manifold heat after being around these old Dodge's for some time. The nos hold down and cables came from John at http://www.midwestmilitary.net/...

Absolutely! Used an nos hardware kit, along with new heat riser. I don't intend to do this again for a while. Thanks!

Thanks! Yes it is in great shape compared to most. I've had the truck for eight years and now that I'm retired I am finally getting around to fixing things. Just trying for now to keep it dependable. It's been registered a robi's site for years. Tom

After 8 years of very little progress other than driving it on occasion,finally got around to changing out the Cracked Exhaust Manifold,with the help of dougdodgeman! Still need to change out the rubber fuel hose for the correct filter bowl and line. Also,Truck had just the battery box and mixed...

I have fixed a few by drilling small hole, installing a sheet metal screw with some sort of thimble on it to protect the cable. Worked for me. Other than that replace the housing. Tom

Nice Install. However I believe the water pump is not the ideal place for the sender/bulb. Your reading cooled water. For a more accurate reading it should be placed in the head, water manifold, or somewhere in the intake coolant passage,Engine side of the Thermostat for true engine temperature. Tom

Well Duh, Sorry for my incorrect reply on the bolt size. After seeing Dog heads illustrations I realized your talking lifting shackle bolts and I'm Thinking Spring shackle bolts. Sorry! Perfect example of fat finger clicking before brain engages!! Tom

If your talking about the long bolts that go through the shackle bushings in the frame and spring eye there 7/16x 5" sae. If your referring to the cast iron bushing mounted to the frame They were riveted. A guess, they would be 3/8 or 7/16 x 1 1/4" Check the rivet hole diameter. Tom

The original 100 amp alt is more than sufficient imo. Why waste time and money. Tom

Any Diesel can run a way as mentioned. Very seldom it will happen from it's own fuel source. It happens when a Diesel idles for extremely long periods of time and slobbers in it's own oil to the point were it gets into the air intake system. Then the engine ignites this oil and has a new...

Power Service 911 (Red) bottle is only used after it has gelled. It will not prevent gelling. Use the white bottle. Tom

IP is dying. Time to rebuid. It will only get worse. Tom

If your having trouble turning the engine over you need to check/replace the starter. These trucks crank over great,when everything is in good condition. Mine easily cranks/starts at -7 the coldest I have tried. Tom
