Just so everyone will know, I have sold the two alternator rebuild kits.

Interesting. Thanks. I just now requested a sample of the 383 Green mat.

While I am waiting on my body-shop guy to shoot the final coat of paint on the bed, I decided to cut the hole in the cab floor to mount the new cable shifter. Got the hole cut and verified that the shifter will fit and cable will work, and now I am lightly sanding the cab floor in preparation...

I got it figured out. I grounded the tach case and it worked as designed. So I learned something today. Thanks for everybody’s help.

OK I will be back at the shop later and will try it. Thanks for your help. Stay tuned.....

Yes I spun it in both directions and also swapped the leads to the sender. Needle still dead. Do you think the tach case should be grounded also?

Skinny - I got my saddle tanks mounted and the manual valve in place and plumbed. You can see how I did it here https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/kinda-got-carried-away-m1028-rebuild.54469/post-2426941

I'm attempting to install a HMMWV tachometer in my M1028 truck. I'm installing a new 6.5 diesel engine, therefore I don't need the 6.2 vacuum pump anymore, so I purchased a new HMMWV tachometer and sending unit. But before I go to the effort to design and fabricate a custom bracket in my...

It's been over two years since I purchased the brand new Tach and am just now getting around to installing it. Before I go to the effort to design and build a custom gauge panel for the tach, I wanted to test it with the sending unit to make sure everything worked. Well, I connected 24v and...

Hey Tobash - I thought you went with a 765R4?

I installed a new Fluidampr on my P400 because 1)- I can afford it and 2)- I believe the design of the Fluidamper provides batter balancing than a piece of rubber vulcanized between two pieces of steel. The majority of race cars use Fluidampr, so Hail, it must be better.

You don't specifically need a $500 Fluidampr. Any new harmonic balancer will extend the life of your engine. Summit has new Dorman balancers for under $100. Replacing the old harmonic balancer should be the absolute first thing you should do to extend the life of your engine. Just my 2 cents.

Karl - only you could come up with that!

Thanks to tim292stro for providing the information that the orange wire at the glow plug card is the wire which senses voltage to the glow plugs. Therefore the orange wire should be the source wire to an LED indicator. Thanks again to tim292stro !

I found this nice diagram in the Helpful Threads but it was a jpeg file, which is sometimes difficult to print on certain printers. I converted it to a PDF to make it easier for anyone who would like to download it. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your post. But I was hoping someone else had done this and could simply provide the wire information. I currently have my batteries out and dash apart, so turning on the ignition switch to find the power is not an option.

I'm installing a manual momentary push button to fire the glow plugs in case the card gets fried. I also want to add a dash-mounted LED to indicate when power is actually being delivered to the glow plugs. I have read all the posts in the sticky regarding such an LED, however there is no...

Keith, I was very plain in my post that I had no desire or intent to start a debate. And I will not engage with you on the subject. I do know that actual results override theory, and the engineers at Bullet have the results. This is the system they use on cross-Australia racing. You have the...

Ok, that's it. I can't stay quiet on this subject any longer. Bullet in Australia has everything that you need in one kit. Chevy 6.5 Diesel Engine - Bullet Cars and 4WD - Australia’s Leading Supercharger Specialist This is what I am installing on my P400 6.5 diesel. And while I respect...

Finally getting back to work on my M1028. Throughout the whole 12-year process my goal has been to eliminate as many possible points of failure as possible. Whenever I can substitute something which is manual-operated instead of electronically-operated, that is what I do. So, when I decided...
