Treat it as a M1097A2, the wiring is as stated a little different.
If the GVWR is 10K then you have the 10K hubs brakes and half shafts, (M1097A1) lucky you as you can get the aftermarket half shafts cheap (with lifetime warranty)
You are lucky to get that truck as most R1s have the 3 speed and...
As far as I know there is no real way to test it off of the starter, the plunger retracts as it pushes the starter drive into the flywheel and at the bottom of its stroke forces the contacts to power the starter motor.
There are several reasons a starter just "drops out" sometimes it is the...
Measure C4 to ground, if the wire is not shorted to ground and you have no 5V reference at C4 then the TCM is bad.
If you see a ground on C4 unplug the TPS and TCM and measure again, you will of course measure the TPS resistance with it plugged in.
You would need to find a 6.2L TCM with the 4l80 as the 6.5L had an ECM and will not work,
Autozone used to carry them but I think that source has dried up.
I would put an oil pressure gauge on it and confirm it had oil pressure before continuing, you can simply screw a gauge into the 90 that the sending unit connects to.
You can still ohm out the circuits, they should read aprox the same and nether should have a ground reference.
Note, I did have a bad TCM not too long ago that gave a code 87
Welcome to the SS forums!
The only suggestion I have is to use high quality grade 8/10.8 or 12.8 bolts and lock washers, never re-use a bolt that has worked itself loose and locktite certainly would not hurt.
Here is the schematic with a winch, just delete the winch and go directly from the hydro-boost to the steering box.
There is a schematic tor the A2 and the ECV etc.
I am not a big fan of changing the oil on an engine that has sat for a long time, as long as the oil looks OK I pull the plug just long enough to ensure there is no water or other funny stuff in there (then top it off a little over full to help the pump prime), then I start the engine for a...
There is no oil pressure "line" there is however a wire, it goes to the oil pressure sending unit held up by a bracket with a SS hose going into the rear left side of the intake manifold.
And yes you can relocate the batteries, that would be a discussion best brought up in the mods/hotrod forum.
