There are not many people that can successfully take a picture of the inside of a unit through a small hole! Well done, by the way, get a pipe tap and clean the rust out of those threads or you may have a weeping plug. Rick

I am not at my parts list, can't they cross yours over to a Stant? Make sure it is a 180. I will check my list a little later and get you some more numbers. Or you can go to the g838.org site and look at the wiki. There is a cross reference list in there for civie parts.

I would be careful running at that kind of load (110%) too much. It IS a 30 year old generator with the same age wiring. I love your "Needs". I need my well pump, a couple lights and the fridge. Period.

Looking at Incredilion's sig I can see he would have no issues with this but for you guy's considering a new setup, keep in mind you have to be able to fill that elevated tank.;) Rick

Unless you are an experienced bodyman you want to farm that roof job out. Ask them where they want you to cut the donor off. You have no room for error on a roof replacement. Rick

I think where you are in the country has a lot to do with vehicle price also. Here in NJ I have not seen a deuce for under 4000.00 running for a long time. 5-6 years ago you could get them from G/L for 1200.00 then the prepper craze and the overseas contracts hit at the same time and the prices...

OR, Buy the rebuilt and put it in and then rebuild the one that came out and sell it. Or keep it for a spare. 2500.00 for the truck and 800.00 for a case. 3300.00 for a good truck on today's market, I guess you would offer 2500.00! I think I would offer more than that AND sign the disclaimer. Rick

What do they use in the CJ-10 tugs? That might be an option. I know there is a guy, Steve, that goes to the Virginia rally who has one.

I like the spec's om your off grid system. I can tell you that the return on my 002 filled a 2 liter bottle in about 3-4 minutes. That was running the stock pumps. My only worry about the gravity setup would be getting enough flow through the pump for lubrication and cooling. If you are breaking...

The fluid will be fine but how are you going to drain the convertor? If you do not drain it then you will be mixing in the 5 or 6 quarts of regular transmission fluid with the trick shift. As long as they are compatible I see no problem but it is going to be close to a 50/50 mix. Kind of defeats...

Get a Stant 13078 thermostat. It is a 180 degree stat and you have a much better chance of getting an American made part, at least a brand name part. I have had nothing but bad luck with these fast food type parts stores. Let it idle with the heater off until the thermostat opens, you will see...

As I have said many times before, Xylene.

I have read through here and don't really have any suggestions for the starting problem but I do have one suggestion. When you are working on it hook up a set of jumper cables to the 009 and have that running to keep the battery charged on the generator and also to give a little more boost for...

Regular lug nuts will not get enough thread to hold and even if they do the hole is too big, not tapered and too soft. Those lug nuts are what centers the wheel and takes the load. What you are talking about doing will work in theory on an unloaded truck but if you put any weight on that setup...

Look for a CDR valve for a civilian Blazer with the diesel or any of the civilian diesel pick-up trucks. They all use the same injectors unless someone has changed them out for marine injectors.

I have a set on a Jeep CJ, You do have to have the special lugs. Rick

Mine looks normal. Member map is about centered and the search box is on the far right.

Well sir, you are entitled to your opinion. I have never had anyone else complain about my advise in the past ten years. I guess I can see where the one negative rep I got came from. I am sorry you do not agree with me. You will notice there are others that said the same as I. I will say no...

If you are going to reply just do so from experience and not guess at it or post what you find elsewhere on the internet. Nobody slammed you, just pointed out that you were wrong in your description. You would not want to ask a question and receive bad info would you? Rick

My bad! I pointed out the mistake and corrected it with the same mistake. :oops: I meant track rod. Has been corrected. I hate migraine headaches.
