I like that idea lots! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

You can still 12 Valve swap it! Just don't do crazy weight with it. Or you can do a 6.5L...or an LQ4...or turbo the 6.2. Lots of options. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I'll give my 3500 DRW Silverado as a reference: GVWR 12,000 GCWR 23,500 Max goose/5th gross 14,700-15,400 Max bumper pull 12,000 w/distro & sway Max bumper pull 7,500 w/1,000# tongue wt carrying So if you were to play in safe zones, that OBS GMT400 truck has no business hooked on to the...

I'm gonna throw this out there...it doesn't matter what engine and trans you put in that thing, the factory 80s CUCV/Squarebody drivetrain has zero business hooked on to that much weight! The only remote possibility of moving that much weight safely with a CUCV would be a body swap on to a...

I'd advise against your plan, instead getting some off-the-shelf LED headlights such as from Truklite or Maxxima. The load from those is negligible at worst. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Every fiber in my being wants to drop sister-service sibling rilvary jokes thanks to "Check Wiring for Dummies".... Inside voice repeats: (we don't talk trash on this forum...we don't talk trash on this forum...we don't talk trash on this forum) Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Solid bonus is, IIRC @kloppk has an upgraded aftermarket Voltage Regulator available amongst his other upgrades and gizmos for these machines. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

The experts haven't arrived yet. So while you're waiting, click your mouse into the TM section and download all the applicable manuals for your machine if you haven't done so already. There's some troubleshooting sections in them that may be of use to you. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I have 2 different aux/transfer tanks configured for use with my MEP genset. I made my adaptations from the bottom drain plug port. One tank I used iron pipe fittings due to the large drain size, the other I used steel hydraulic fittings and hose since the port was small. I have no valve in play...

Have you confirmed with an amp clamp & multimeter that your gauges are telling true? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I'm going to politely disagree with the water in fuel diagnosis, tho anything is possible. I say this because you had no observable water when you sampled the separator and the behavior improved as time went on without mechanical intervention. It's very common for these machines to find...

In your earlier posts it sounds like things are improving as those internals are starting to get moving again. Fresh fuel and SeaFoam in the tank, and some ATF in the oil a few minutes before your next oil change may prove to work wonders. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Is your set factory configured or has the fuel tank system been modified? If it's factory, you are NOT switching between tanks. In a factory configuration: When you rotate the start switch to Prime & Run, only the Main pump operates. When set to Prime & Run Aux fuel, the Main pump runs AND you...

Since nobody has said it, I'll do the honors. You should prepare yourself for that machine to be a Gremlin-filled PITA in the first hundred-ish hours or so. Most of the MEP generation are in the 30 +/- year old category...and old stuff sitting for years usually doesn't like to behave when you...

The gauges are an easy troubleshoot. Follow the fault resolution in the TM. Most likely the sending unit (float) crapped out (those suck to get out)...others could be gauge failure, chafed wire, or bad ground. Just follow the TM for the fuel gauge.

Good practice is, new problem starts a new thread. It seems problems like this is common in low hour units, from sitting all those years. The boys will give you things like checking pumps and filters...injection pump timing...cleaning the injectors & IPs sometimes help...some end up removing...

In the interim I would put the overflow tube in a Mason jar with a hole drilled in the lid. Use something to wrap the glass to isolate it from the vibration and zip tie it in the same place. Not perfect, but will get you by. As I understand, the original bottle is discontinued and unavailable...

Yes, the trans can be put in neutral without power...these trucks have no electric shift interlock like modern vehicles, these are 100% mechanical. Key to the on position will unlock the column, shift it out of park by the shift lever. If no key or it's bound up internally, you can roll under...
