Try holding a steady 1,000-1500 rpm sitting still in park. Give it a blip and then get off the throttle. A failing IP will normally shut off in that situation.

Thank you Rory. I have never had an upgrade named after me. Cool. I didn't suggest a receiver above because the op said he didn't want one. But as others have posted. That is the best option in my opinion. I regularly pull a lot hooked to the receiver. But drive like your grand mother going to...

I had almost the exact same issue. Diode trio inside the alternator was bad. The TM tells in great detail how to check it and get to it. Posting on a saturday afternoon is kind of the slowest time of the week.

Take the pintle and the plate it bolts to apart. If they are all original I doubt you will get it all apart without breaking some or even all of them. Don't forget the long square tubing underneath. Look at the long bolts and see if they are actually still all there. They probably will be...

Disclaimer to start with. I do not work on the newer electronic common rail diesels. So I have not seen first hand what happens to them with non diesel run. I do talk vehicles with just about everyone I actually talk to. The 6.4 and 6.7 Ford engines don't run right and have lasting severe...

I am doing all new parts except the metal lines on my Cowdog project. Silicone for me. I like it. Parts don't rust and seem to last a lot longer for me. When I did all new everything on my gasser M35 back in 2007. I even made new lines. All new lines for the entire truck. A thread like this...

I don't know why my M715 master cylinder rusted so bad. I had DOT 3 in it, vacuumed all of that through the bleeders at all 4 corners, put denatured alcohol in the master and vacuumed that all through. Then I filled it with surplus BFS that was yellow. I vacuumed it through all 4 bleeders...

Rich, if your factory one is working now, keep it. I was happy to see there are some out there. Which is why I linked it. I did the manual control proportioning valve on my '67 Cooper S autocross car. It was a pain to get that last little adjustment just right. Then the sun came out or it...

Sorry about the long post. However, as anyone who has read this thread can tell. Warthog gets on my case if I don't post up what is going on.

I took the pictures of the truck with the shackle flip the day after the shackle flip was done. I put the exhaust tail pipe back on and it cleared the springs by about 1/8". The exhaust was below the spring. I was worried about the drivers side tire going up and driving the passenger side...

With the engine off, the hydroboost is just a metal rod connecting your foot to the master. Try the brakes without the engine running. You will have to push the pedal at least 3 times to get the "reserve" boost pressure used up. But, if the problem still happens after that. It isn't the...

Thank you very much for posting this. Here is the exact link for anyone needing one. https://www.carolinaclassictrucks.com/78-87-GM-FS-Truck-Prop-Valve.html

Is the engine by chance a HMMWV pull out? Those engines have a different throttle cable bracket on the engine. I think the bend the arm idea is your best fix for now though.

To bash, nobody said you couldn't make it work if you threw enough time and money at it. They were merely pointing out the differences between a side mount turbo and a center mount turbo. which is heads, block, exhaust system, turbo and intake. The IP should be ok either way. I have spent the...

The down pipe going through the inner fender and down the outside of the frame is pretty much common practice when fitting the 6.5 turbo to a square body. There re are people that have made the down pipe fit inside the frame but a body lift is usually needed. Along with some floor insulation.

To continue the bumper with a few notes. The truck frame is straight. The suburban frame turns down after the rear cross member. The truck cross member is notched a good bit at both frame rails. The suburban frame has enough room to slide a few wires between the cross member and the frame...

I will continue the bumper saga tonight. I am going to use R-134A with the blue 1989 Ford orifice tube. I still have some R-12 left, but this would make my 3rd vehicle running it and just a few tear downs would drain my supply. When I went to do the leak down test yesterday I put R-134A...

Oil in the CDR tubing is normal. Did you by chance have that hooked directly to the intake without the CDR valve? What about the throttle return spring on the throttle mechanism? Otherwise, the advice you got of the IP being bad is pretty much the only source of fuel left to cause the engine...

I am just going to call it a truck bumper instead of writing M1008, M1028, M1031 CUCV bumper. Let me cover the M1009 bumper first real fast. The suburban frame is just the right width to allow a M1009 bumper without modification to fit right up. However, the suburban frame has 3 bolt holes per...

I thought that bumper was going to kick my butt pulling the fuel tank off. I had put it together in this order: Receiver hitch, bumper brackets, fuel tank, fuel tank skid plate, bumper, pintle hook. With the truck up on the lift, way up on the lift actually. I was able to snake an open end...
