Good point on checking compatibility with DOT5. The description for a new master cylinder from Dorman specfies: "All rubber components are of high-quality EPDM compound for resistance to glycol-based brake fluid". Link to description from rockauto...

Two posts above the one you quoted sir, part number and hyperlink to their online store queued up for the parts they offer for our K5. I'll quote myself...

Yes, all is well. Same good wishes for ya'll. A picture of the new bushing would make sense wouldn't it? I must say I didn't take one, but will when I get home and will edit this post tomorrow. Tomorrow is today.

I replaced the front leaf spring bushings with Energy Suspension Bushings (3.2105). All 6 looked pretty sad. Also rebuilt and painted a couple of spare alternators. The rebuild kits were from member Tow4.

Greetings gooseman, welcome aboard. Loose connections at the 12v termination block proved to be the culprit when I had a no start condition with similar characteristics (functioning lights, 24v present at starter relay, etc.). Probably not your case, but worth a check. I'd start a thread...

Here's a screenshot of the K30 standard specs. confirming spring capacity.

Try a PM to fellow member Tow4, he offers a rebuild kit for the CUCV alternators and may be able to source the parts you need. Link to his ad, http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?146702-Delco-Alternator-Rebuild-kits-for-alternator-p-n-1105500 FWIW, I was able to snag a couple alts...

Front shocks and starter Not much to say (followed suppliers instructions), the shocks have roughly 1" left at full axle drop. Still working on a solution for bump stops. New GR starter installed, with appropriate brace, new heat shield and power cables. I was relieved...

Rag joint replacement Comparing old vs new and the box it came in (shows the where and the what). I wanted to retain the collapsible feature of the shaft, so I removed the difference in length (3/4") from the area in red and had the 1" DD section of the shaft welded back on, I asked that he...

Front axle maintenance There were a couple of warm enough to paint days here recently so I worked on the front axle, and played the clean, inspect, replace, paint, repack, etc. game. Some highlights: Passenger disassembly. Passenger side assembled Drivers side mostly assembled...

Glow plug system Somebody had cobbled together a glow plug system. Push button on the dash controlled a relay on the firewall. Yikes. I removed the wiring harness and found that the insulation had melted off two of the wires, lucky for me, they were for the temperature control plug and the...

The new radiator is aluminum with plastic tanks, but seems to fit exactly right. Agreed on the difficulty to find brass/copper rad. Thank you for posting up the info. on that filter. It's either outside practicing Ren-ching or the "honey do" list; if given the option, I'm gone. :beer: Agreed...

Suspension I've preferred to leave my '09 mostly stock, I don't feel the same way about this one. So, I got some stuff from ORD and DIY4X. 3" Springs for the front. The first picture is further proof that I have no idea what I was doing, instead of raising the springs and then axle to align...

Charging system I've read enough on the site about the Duvac charging system to know I want no part of it. When I purchased the truck it had been converted to 12v, I want 24v. I opted to imitate what ChevyC60 did here. So, I pulled the engine side wiring harness and started cleaning up and...

Fuel System I opted to remove everything I could from the fuel system, inspect and either refurbish, have rebuilt or replace. New tank and sending unit Metal lines either replaced or verified that they were in decent shape and painted, new AC Delco fuel pump, rubber lines were also...

Cooling System Took a peek in the radiator, decided it needed a new one. Ordered a Spectra CU850 from amazon and radiator bushings from Energy Suspension, currently waiting in a corner. It also needed both inner fender replaced, I used LMC. I wanted to re use the battery tray support...

As others have done, I acquired this project when it became available for the price of what I've seen the axles sell for. The PO was ready to sell when his mechanic found "black stuff" in the IP after removing the cover and was told he would have to invest. To further prove the point the roll...

Identification In regards to its history, according to Bikeman in his 2016 VIN INFO thread the UIC for this truck no longer exists, therefore there is no record, the only information that was found was 0092, seen here. As far as I know, after military service it served in as a SWAT vehicle, it...

Greetings folks, I'm starting this thread with the intent of sharing the work that I'm doing on my M1010. The purpose of my sharing is for entertainment purposes only and should not be misconstrued with right way of doing things. I consider myself a newbie when it comes to automotive/metal...
