These trucks are 30+ years old. Replace everything, and I mean everything. New springs, spring bushings, upper/lower king pins, all your steering connections, new steering box, new steering shaft (I prefer the borgenson steering shaft, it uses U-joints at both ends instead of a rag joint)...

Thanks Steve!!!

Talking with Steve, he said it is part number 7197N. Checked that part number and it is a 24 volt alternator. local part store sells them, they look just like a civilian alternator.

I see he has alternator belts in the classified's, but I don't see an actual alternator?

Just bought it about 2 weeks ago. Only getting 12.5 volts on the one battery (12 volt side) with truck running.

Got the new fuel shut off solenoid on and the new emergency shut off valve installed! Hopefully my fuel leak is gone!

With truck off I am getting 25 volts at the batteries, and 25 volts at the starter. But I am assuming since I am not getting the 28 volts while truck is running that its not putting enough charge in them to start the truck. The starter just clicks.

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...

Do you have a part number for those off set lug nuts?

Cool thanks. Someone not far from me has a bunch of the 2 piece hemtt rims for a decent price. So I will use those on all 6.

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?

Also should install a 12 volt charger, that way you can charge your phone, laptop, flash light, etc. There are a lot of MV's owners that should be close to your route, so if you do brake down just send a message on here and someone should be able to help you or point you in the right direction...

Lots of fluids in the 5 gallon size. brake fluid DOT 5, oil rotella 15w-40, coolant, gear oil 80-90w. Seals for transmission, transfer case, wheel seals. Extra starter, alternator, batteries, jumper cables. Extra wire of varying sizes on spools. Wire crimpers, connectors, wire tape...

Took a friend who was in the army for a ride. He hadn't been in a 5 ton in 25 years! He was pretty excited.

Now I am having a battery issue. Batteries won't hold a charge, so now have to figure that out. Still waiting for the fuel shut off and emergency shut off valve to arrive. Hopefully that will take care of the leaking fuel. I know the fuel shut off solenoid is bad because if I jump the 2...

Trans temp failure: 175 degrees = unlimited miles 195 degrees = 100,000 miles 200 degrees = 80,000 miles 220 degrees = 50,000 miles Varnish starts to form 240 degrees = 20,000 miles Seals start to harden 260 degrees = 10,000 miles Plates start to slip 290 degrees = 5,000 miles Seals and...

Never bypass the radiator transmission cooler. Water cools 1000 times better than air. If you heat a piece of steel up to red hot how does one cool it? By waving it in the air? NO! They dip it in water! Adding an auxiliary cooler in conjunction with the radiator cooler does help! Any...

Those 8D's batteries are pretty sweet.

I go by feel rather than torque. Just replaced all the ball joints on the blazer. It's more trial and error, I install the sleeve with only one or two threads showing on the bottom. Then install knuckle, start by tightening the upper ball joint till its tight with a half inch drive socket...

Ok, I see bubbles coming from out of the emergency shut off rod, so hopefully that is the leak. Going to town, so should see if that is the source. I am assuming there is some type of O-ring in there.
