Glad to see you got the picture posting problem fixed Scott.

The CUCV is all 12 volts other than the starter and glow plugs (through the resistor). I think since the K20 is originally a 12 volt truck, I would probably keep it that way. It's easy to convert the glow plugs to 12 volt operation and change the starter to 12 volt. Unless you need to have 24...

My M1028A2 came with a triangle already installed and I have no plans to remove it because I think it improves visibility. I have been stopped before and the Deputy Sheriff did not mention it. I doubt it would ever get on their radar. If it was brought up, I would tell them truthfully that I...

Thanks, it's working days are mostly over. I drove it to the 2013 GA Rally and took a load of firewood and I drive it in parades.

I'll nominate my M929.

Good looking truck.

I do this also.

The title fee to GP is $100 for the dealer documentation fee and $50 for state title fee. If the title you receive is a FL title in your name you don't have to do anything else other than register the vehicle to get a tag. Wait time was 6~7 weeks.

I received a title reassignment and was able to use that to get a title with no issue. Unfortunately it cost me about $100 at the DMV. I was under the impression that FL residents were supposed to receive a FL title already in our name. I contacted Jwade and he confirmed I should have received...

The inner seal on the M939 series is a regular oil seal. When I pulled a hub on my M929 to service the brakes the hub was full of gear oil. There were no external leaks. I saw the inner seal was an oil seal and remembered an old post Ron (73m819) had made about wet hubs in the 5 tons and PM'd...

Pull the starter off and you can easily replace the solenoid. I have a spare solenoid that is new I can sell if you can't find one locally.

Somewhere in that section of the statutes there will be a list of definitions, usually at the begining. They probably say more than X pounds empty weight or more than 2 axles will be considered commercial vehicles. Be sure the definitions you look at cover the statute you are referring to...

A small percentage of gas in a tank of diesel does not hurt anything. It stays mixed so you don't have to worry about getting any straight gas in the engine. A friend has a car repair shop and has had numerous gas cars come in with diesel added to the fuel tank. His girl friend was Vietnamese...

My daily driver is a stick and my wife's daily driver is a stick so I have a fair amount of "stick time" and a lot of miles towing our RV in all kinds of terrain with a stick. With that said, all of my MVs are now automatics and are much nicer for driving around and in stop and go traffic. If...

I had the over voltage problem recently also. It is not hard to rebuild these GM alternators. Here is a link to my alternator rebuild thread. There are pictures so you can decide if it's something you can do yourself. The second link is the rebuild kits I have in the classifieds...

You need to compare the diagram in the TM to the truck. You might find minor differences but they are mostly the same.

Your upload speed test is faster than mine Scott. I would think you should have no problem. Good luck working it out.

Scott, just for fun check the size of a picture you are uploading. I just looked at the two pictures you uploaded of the fuel can and they are about 54KB each and 800x600. I also checked all the pictures I have uploaded over the years and the biggest was a little over 90KB and most were under...

Just machine a sample and cut it in half if you can't settle the argument using a model and measuring. A physical sample of the end product will answer all the questions.

With the engine running install a jumper from the battery terminal on the back of the alternator to the #! regulator terminal (one on the left looking at the alternator from the rear). This will turn on the regulator and start the alternator charging if it is working. Do this for each alternator...
