We did the LMC thick rubber floor mat front and rear with the LMC insulation on RED when Colton built it 4 years ago. It has held up very well to high school life. Super quiet inside at any speed compared to all of my other trucks except for the just on the road yesterday Cowdog M1007. The...

There is a shop in LaGrange called American Muffler. Old guy owns and runs it. If you tell him you will be paying in cash when you walk in the door. He is very agreeable. He has made a bunch of bends for me and end flares. I just bend a coat hanger in the shape I need, show up with cash and...

I left work and it wouldn't shift out of 1st gear again. Only at my "max shift rpm" set into the Compushift computer would it shift. I lowered it down to 2,000 rpm and it would shift just fine. Very hard shifts though and if I got below 1400 rpm it would down shift with aggression. Slowing...

The internal wiring harness for the 4L80E showed up Thursday but Colton graduated high school Friday. I had to stay home and host a huge number of relatives and such instead of going to work and getting the Cowdog running. This morning the internal harness was installed along with a new power...

I had the same issues Rich. The smallest hard to find one was at the water pump backing plate to the pump. I think your rate of loss could just be the test pump baffles/seals or even the radiator cap seal on the adaptor. Did you ever figure out the Dalton date code code? It turns out the...

Call Leroy. He sells coolers with that funky non standard GM thread with AN adaptors. I thought you were asking about transmission coolers. Sorry. I think I know what you are asking about now though.

Rich, I used Russel part number 640330 to go from the stock CUCV diesel radiator to -6 AN lines on my transmission cooling system. -6 is 3/8" ID. The Leroy oil cooler AN lines are a lot bigger. -10 maybe? I have them as well.

Rich, 1/2-20 is the thread size of the stock radiator transmission cooler metal line threads. Is that what you are looking for? Inverted flare of course.

Get as much parts from it as you can as suggested above. The fuse panel will be mostly the same as the CUCV. There might be a few things different like the choke circuit, windshield washer circuit, water in fuel light, etc...

I wanted it as low as possible. But did cut the front fenders some to clear.

Rory, I made it home just as the rain hit. I have never done IFR in a helicopter but imagine it probably isn't fun. Joe, i have a Chevy horn button. The GMC button came from the Gasser half ton when I did the column swap. I was busy with the transmission issues and neglected to change them out...

That isn't a '51 front fender rear support. It looks like the '53 or newer which is what they stuck with for the rest of the production run. I will try and go look at my '52 so I can explain the differences better.

No rub on any tires. I have flexed it as much as I can with dirt piles and such. I really like the solid feel of the M35 and M715 going down the road. The M1009 trucks feel solid, but just a little mushy to me. I hate the way my 2wd Suburban feels on the road. Too much like a marshmallow. I am...

The last two weeks have been busy. Compushift TCM installed, Dakota Digital VHX gauges wired and installed, center console extension made and installed, radio hooked up, interior finished, bolt on base plates for swing away tire and gear carriers made and installed, title transferred, tags...

Since this has become the gauge update/wiring thread of choice now. I will chime in what I have figured out recently. I thought after following this thread when it was new and looking at parts suppliers like LMC that there were 3 different printed circuit mats for the gauge clusters. Nope...

Besides the suggestion of temperature checking your u-joints a few post up. Pulling the straps off the pinion yoke and actually holding the drive shaft/u-joint as you check them and turn them can do a lot more than just looking and giving them a tug. This will also make checking the transfer...

Thanks for the links Marcus. I was time limited when I made my post and just wanted to get the basic facts out.

Someone will probably post up soon about how if they can find the old one they took off their truck because it leaked a deal can be worked out. Which leads to the question of why? The stock filter bases were prone to cracking and leaking. Many of us consider a spin on filter to be a superior...

Thank you for your service. The regulator is inside the alternator. They are normally found with any Delco 27SI alternator rebuild kit. There are several vendors on this site that sell such kits. A fast google for a 27SI kit will show you other vendors as well. It reads like your dealership...

No gasket on the Banks lid. The filter is just a hair taller than the housing and the lid seals with it.
