I went to the junkyard (making an air intake was not my original intent, but I figured what the h***) Some of the older C/K trucks actually had a small plastic inlet piece installed on the front of the truck on the passenger side around the radiator. I yanked one of these off and paid $5 for...

I run a K&N without the foam ring. The filter's gotten dirtier from all the oily crap in the air filter assembly than anything else. The K&N by itself doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I also made up a cold air intake like stampy described the other night. Not much of a "seat of the...

LSSV=Duramax :D Can't wait till I see these up for auction on GL.

From my experience, the PS belt is always a PITA. Completely unbolting the pump does help though. Last time I had to do it, I unbolted the pump, put the belt on the pulley for the pump and kept the other end kinda jammed in between the other pulleys and the engine block. Then I put the other end...

The truck was sitting about on the tick mark in the green before this happened. Last night the light started flickering and then went out entirely. I don't think its the relay or the contacts. I tried popping the contacts out to clean them last night, but to no avail. I also tried putting both...

Best bet would be to take it out and have it tested. I had the same problem with my GEN 1 light coming on at high RPM's and going out at idle. Turns out theres a small connector near the GP resistor bank at the back of the engine bay. I popped the pins out and cleaned them since they were...

:ditto: Maybe 75W if you're like us and have winters. 80W should work fine in NC. Can't remember which I used when I did it out there, if that makes any difference.

The voltmeter's reading around the green/yellow line, maybe if I'm lucky, just a tick into the green. I know this is being caused by the light bulb acting funny. Its part of the charging circuit. This is why you've got to make sure the GEN lights both light up when you start the truck up and...

I noticed the belt for GEN2 was a bit loose the other day (before I yanked the alt) but it wasn't squealing or anything. When I put the alt back in today, I made sure it was nice and tight.

I've been having problems with the GEN2 light working properly on my M1028. Now, before anybody jumps in saying replace the bulb, or check the fuse, or check the exciter wire, here's what I've already accomplished: Initially the light wasn't coming on at all. I replaced the bulb and the 24V...

Looks like its got a couple of bolts on the back for the voltage regulator. That's all your idiot light is wired into. Thats the nice part about the Roscommon Conversion. You can use a conventional style 12V alternator. The trucks came from the factory with two isolated ground alts, but you can...

I don't what I clicked in that link, but Norton came back saying it had found a Trojan :shock:

Subscribed. Any reason why you went for a diesel 'burb? The small-block chebby engines and the 6.2 and 6.5's should be about the same size and have the same engine mounts,etc. Plus if you've got a J-code 6.2 laying around. . . Just a few thoughts.

Did you do the Roscommon 12V conversion? Theres a way to add a third isolated battery to the truck with the Roscommon method. You may also want to think about going to a heavier duty alternator if you're worried about the electrical load. I.E. something like this: LEECE-NEVILLE NEW ALTERNATOR...

Here comes the crazy "Lets switch the truck over to 12V" guy! http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/news_notes/nn10.pdf Parts are easier to find, the rewiring is minor, you still keep both batteries, you can keep the passenger side alt and have the drivers side free for AC, a turbo will still...

Cummins is working on developing a new 4 cylinder engine for the Nissan Titan that will make a hair over 200HP and around 350 ft/lbs IIRC. They're also saying it will get 28MPG. The big problem with diesel vehicles in this country seems to be that people think they're dirty and clunky. This...

Nope. 1009's had 3.08's. Everything else was 4.56. But you can swap 4.10's into both the Dana 60 and the 14FF.

:ditto: I've found the trucks are picky when it comes to having a charge on the batteries. From what I've seen the alternators suck at charging the batteries. Best bet would be yank the batteries and put them on a charger or take them an auto parts store and have them put a charge on it. Most...

M1028A2 and A3 were the dually trucks. M1028A1, A2 and M1031 are all pretty much the same thing and all of them have the 205 t-case. The dually trucks had a Dana 70 in the rear. The M1028A1 and M1031 had a 14-bolt. The only differences between the M1028A1 and the M1031 was the M1031 was a cab...

:ditto: I've got troop seats for mine and a BII (Basic Issue Items: shovel, pick axe, etc.) rack that bolts on to the side of the troop seats. Unfortunately no tools :-( I'm not sure its original though. It came with the truck when I bought it. Think it might be for a deuce and a half. There...
