    Broken seatbelt bolts

    All finished. The floor comes with an insulating pad that covers the floor from the seat edge forward. The vinyl covers the entire floor area. It's definitely quieter and I imagine it will be cooler. I need to get some threshold plates now to cover the edges. There's still a few creases from...

    Broken seatbelt bolts

    Well, some heat and a bolt extractor on the bottom did the job. Only one of the three was stubborn. More heat and the impact wrench on the extractor finally broke it loose. Now to finish up the floor!

    Broken seatbelt bolts

    Wayne & 85, I woke up this morning thinking the same thing. They got let travel to go out the bottom than to come all the way back out the top. Time for a cup of coffee and see how well the PB Blaster penetrated.

    Broken seatbelt bolts

    I'm the 3rd private owner in Texas. On the whole, the truck has very little rust even though I'm on the gulf. The guy I bought it from lived a mile or two from the beach. The underside is not rusted, still has black paint in most places. The bottoms of the seatbelt bolts that stick down are...

    Broken seatbelt bolts

    I sized the one bolt that didn't break and it was M12-1.75 x 35.

    Broken seatbelt bolts

    I'm in the process of drilling them now. I think I'll let them soak over night. Good call on the heat.

    Broken seatbelt bolts

    I ordered a custom molded floor from stockinteriors.com and went to put it in today. It's a vinyl floor, textured kind of like rhino linings, pre-molded for all the humps, just cut to fit around 4x4 shifter and bolt holes. The bench seat came out no problem. I couldn't get the seatbelts to...

    fast idle set point

    The shaft should be touching. When I first got my 1028 one of the little machine screws that attach the fast idle bracket was missing. It hung away from the throttle about a 1/2" so when it was engaged it still didn't touch the throttle. After I replaced that screw and the bracket was pulled up...

    Diy External Transmission Cooler

    That's why I wanted to check the TM. My memory switched the two.

    Diy External Transmission Cooler

    The upper port on the transmission side is the return line. I checked the TM to see about the radiator side but couldn't find it. The lower port on the radiator should be the return line. You can just trace the the line from the top port of the trans and double check that it does go to the...

    Anyone know where this wire goes?

    He did get the right answer "right off the bat". The first two replies told him where it went and what it was. It's getting tough around here. It used to be that questions got chastised (rightly so) for not looking in the TM, now answers are getting chastised for not sending the question to the...

    M1009 Takes off in 2nd gear

    I looked through the trouble shooting section of my TH400 service manual. There is nothing in there about starting in second. I would agree with Skinny, stuck valve or governor. Let me know if you need the pressure specs, I'll get them out of my service manual.

    Anyone know where this wire goes?

    I believe it doubles up on the ground post of the alternator.

    Spewing trans fluid

    How's your fluid look? Check to see if it looks or smells burnt.

    orange transmission wire?

    Kick down switch. It goes from the electrical connector on the side of the trans to the switch attached to the throttle peddle. When the throttle peddle is depressed far enough to close the switch, 12v is sent to the solenoid on the transmission.

    M1009 Idle Noise

    Torque your starter bolts. That was the source of my rattle at idle.

    Diy External Transmission Cooler

    Plumbing sections of hardware stores should carry all that. Auto parts stores too, although the selection isn't as good typically.

    CUCV colors

    Might be time to shop around for a new insurance company. My insurance didn't have an option for camo so they said they were just going to put it down as green.
