top, as said above, Great post and pics. Haynes has nothing on you and "shade tree".[thumbzup]

Hea ryan, After all the sweat equity, money, smashed knuckles etc, what would your asking price for your truck be? A strait clean M1031 went for $7200 bucks a month or so ago on GL. Those guys on ebay are flippers, they pi$$ bomb some paint on a truck they paid under three grand for and try to...

Hea wired1000, Sounds like the bendix is disengaging. The fastest way to test this is to remove the inspection cover, crawl under the truck and have someone start the truck in park and with the parking brake fully mashed to the floor, Dangerous? yea, I've done it before. A mirror on a broomstick...

hea vgodenwa, I may have a solution to your belt problem. the radius on the adjustment bracket is causing a pinch point between the top of the alt and the bracket, you already know this. I think a bracket with a tighter radius, more like a half circle will resolve the problem with the bracket...

Footnote to welding repairs, Quenching, or rapidly cooling a welded part is not recomended as it actually changes the molecular makeup of the steel arround the weld. Depending on the formula used in the steel manufacturing process, it may compromise the strenth of the steel and cause failure...

Hea wired1000, Good to hear you got that fixed. Hopefully they welded BOTH sides of the tab when they did the repair. By your discription of the weld bead, it sounds like they "stick" welded the tab on one side while the bracket was still on the engine. If that's the case the tab is likely to...

Here's my center console- floor shifter mount. I might add another cup holder or put oil, water and trans temp guages where the circles are drawn on the can lid. I need some feedback on that, Thanks, WCP

Rod, They perceive us as ex military or militia nuts, but when the sh** hits the fan they will be the first ones banging on your door for help but sorry, we would have bugged out long before that.

Hea SW, Truthfully I have no idea. I was a snipe and was only allowed to come up for air when we would start turning yellow. That whole COD trap thing was a total blurr, like some kind of twilight zone episode. On our final approch, you know, the big left hand turn, the seat felt like it was...

Hea bshupe, No problem man, I had assumed it was a real divers helmet. Those things are huge and I admit a real one would look pretty stupid hanging off the front of a CUCV! Those hardhat divers were in a league of their own, they either had big ba*** or were just plain crazy to do that kind of...

:funny:

HI sirmax123, I looked through your photos and it looks like you have oil leak problem. Everything in the front of the truck is covered with motor oil. Were you able to thaw out the engine yet? You said there was plain frozen water in the engine wich is typical of a head gasket problem. Most...

bshupe, Was that helmet an old hard hat type rig? Made out of copper or bronze? The PO might have been an old school Navy diver and proud of his elite and very dangerous profession. I was a hull tech-turd chaser and didn't see much daylight and was out by 81. Never got a chance to see divers...

Hea Speedwoble, Is that guy "Sammy" still pedaling his bike arround town? Haven't been back there in years, I have a funny story about "sammy" If you want to hear it. Last time we were there we went to the B&B for lunch and discovered it was sold and turned into a taco joint. "The Pub" had the...

It's just the nature of the beast, mine gets grumpy when decelerating down hill while making a sharp turn or if there's loose gravel on the blacktop. It's kinda like a crunch, ting-ting sound that a two speed rear end would make while trying to hook up. I stay off the throttle untill it settles...

Search Caterpillar SOS resources. It has all the information you need about oil analysis. I worked for a contractor in the mid 80s that used this program with exelent results. CAT test's for all known engine contaminets not just carbon soot, fuel and glycoll. Far beter than independent labs or...

Take the mufflers off it and pour 2gal of motor oil in the fuel tank for those early morning cold starts:whistle:
