Well, the old engine finally gave up. Not sure how it happened. But I know what the damage is. So it will be getting new piston sleeves, new pistons, refurbished heads, and will be adding Jake brakes , and a turbo! Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

My rear wiring harness is deteriorating, I found a new harness but it is for the M939 series truck. Will a M939 rear harness work on a M813? Lots of gang green going on, fried one of the LED rear tail lights. Would be easier, quicker, and probably cheaper in long run to just replace the...

Well, the old M813 blew out the knuckle seal. Well more like a 2 inch tear. Anyway, the spare's that I got do not have the zipper, do I just reuse the zippers from the old boot? Or should I just get new ones with the zipper already on them? Also what grease should I use? TM says GAA, what...

Going to need 12 volt in the 5 ton. Looked at a couple of different options. So I decided the least inexpensive and simple way to go for me is a DC to DC transformer. I will be using a continuous heavy duty solenoid to power the transformer and 2 separate fuse panels. One fuse panel will be...

Just got the air ride seat in, that's going to make for a nice ride!

Ok, if this needs to be in the modding section, then sorry. move if need be. I did a search and it seems that not many have asked this question. So here it goes. I would like comments, opinions, recommendations for a cab heater. I see there are some kits out there, but not sure what I...

Ok, I have checked TM's, and I am stumped on this one. Starter clicks when I try and start. If I jump it with the cucv, it fires right up. I let truck run for an hour to charge batteries. While truck is running I checked voltage at batteries. It was at 25 volts, according to TM voltage is...

I did a search and didn't get much information. I would like to run the 53 michelin xzl tires. But I am not sure what rims to use. Do I use the 3 piece hemtt rims or the 2 piece hemtt rims?

Turbo 400 transmission cracked due to faulty trans bushing mounts. So going to install a 700r4 overdrive trans, and add a turbo to the 6.2L diesel. Also the inner fender and battery tray are very rusty, so I am going to replace those as well.

Did some wiring on the fuel gauge, sender, and fuel tank selector. Also installed a new heater core, and wired up a siren.

Went and collected some wood. Being the man that I am..................I had to weigh said load! Truck weighs 6000 empty, and trailer weighs 1280 empty, gross weight was 13060 lbs -6000 lbs. -1280 lbs. =5780 lbs of wood!

Have another Chevy M1008 project, transmission failed. This is Lawrence of Arabia M1008. Many reasons that it failed. First it had the wrong dip stick so the trans was about 4-5 quarts to low on fluid. Second the pan gasket had to cuts in it, not sure why. Third it had the wrong "TV" cable...
