Yes i know this before and you see in our rebuild what you need to customize if you go this route.
It is not a cheap, easy and fast solution. We will know if it is worth the money and effort when the truck is back on the road again.
I have seen it in your build-thread.
I knew before that no universalkit exists for the 4l80e, 6.2 Diesel and Np205. Thats why we gone with the cableshifting unit on the Np205 which work perfect. Unfortunately was the decision for the Lokar cableshifting unit to steering column a bad choise. A...
We realized that we still have 3 sensor wires to bring into the cab for Dacota when we went through the engine compartment wiring.
That's what happens when you take a break for several months while working.... We thought we were done with the cab wiring.
We start again when we dismantle the...
You mean the markings? There is a TM which unfortunately not covers all. I searched on internet and guyfang helped me to choose a real existing marking of that time.
I can give you my results.
You can buy templates in the correct size and font but it is expensive. You can also make your own...
The original pintle hitch had to go in storage as it have no roadlicence in Germany
the Nato pintle hitch fits into the bolt circle of the original Pintlehitch. I hope the TÜV is now satisfied and will later grant road approval
what absolutly not work for us is the universal shift...
Croat you should sent it by letter/post with a notification of deliver if they still dont answer. In Cermany this is "Einschreiben mit Rückschein" they have to sign that they got the letter und you got back an offical note with their sign. With this paper they cant say they didnt got it.
Nevertheless such vendors are timeconsuming in getting your rights.
It is good that they have their business in Germany.
You have rights which they have to fullfill.
I think you will get your money back, if they cant deliver. First they have their chance to fullfill the contract.
Did they give...

Morlock Motors will never get any Euro from us.... nore will i ever recommondate this vendor. High prices bad customerservice.
I know this vendor since 30 years and he will be more worse every year. Beside this did they have just standard parts. I can give you a list of german shops if you want.
We have some less shops here which sell standard parts but you dont know the brand behind. They sell in neutral packages without a partnumber. So seals, weatherstrips, filters are not that problem. But try to get Kingpin-Sets, heavy duty springsets, drivetrainparts, bodyparts like doors or a new...

There was no more popular trucks than the old squarebodies. It was amazing that we had no problem to got any replacement part only special military equipment is rare. Of course in USA. I had to import all. I wait 2 years to find complete troopseats in Germany. To import is extremly expensive of...

The Sierra is waiting for that with the best LBZ Duramax only german Roadlicence limited me to put all the nice available US Stuff on it. But also this one is far...
Yes some things are strange. The M1102 trailer will never got roadlicense with original lights. So i build a removable lightbar and civilian electric to use on german roads. We registered him first in germany. Found him in NL. To stay with the original towbar and the pintlehitch i had high costs...
Well one thing had the next in line.... so we was one day at a point to decide just roadworthy or a complete job. We decide to go with the complete job.
That mean also we had on an oldtimer restoration some restriction.
We have the Sierra for more own styles and feature.
The only thing which i...
We will also enjoy driving the truck but to much money spent on this just to drive an offroadsession or any other rides which let him work hard....
