There are differences in the front hubs and driveshafts used, but overall they are all 1984 Chevy's. The Mil contract required them to be the same for parts interchangeability purposes and the model year upgrades were not applied to the later trucks. There were some late contract 87 trucks and...

That's a replacement pintle/ball hook, and one of the better ones too. Not factory, but more useful than the standard hook if you're not heavy off road where the pintle needs to rotate like the military version. Later, Joe

I wouldn't think so, the beadlock is just there to put a little pressure on the inside of the beads to keep them seated during low pressure situations. They're not under load or anything, so I don't see how they would break and punch a hole in the tire. I do wonder how you would get a piece of...

IIRC that applies to ALL manufacturers, not just GM. Later, Joe

Yea, that's the correct way to flash the field. I just wanted to make sure you weren't jumping wires or anything... LOL You'd be surprised what I've seen people try to do without reading the TM. It does sound like the starter disconnect/lockout switch isn't adjusted right or is completely inop...

I agree with Wolf, it sounds like the VRV is probably leaking a little while cold and as the parts warm up it closes up the leaks and it functions properly. To test, get a hair dryer and heat the valve up while the engine is cold. If it shifts fine, that's your problem. Later, Joe

Hey cjtroutt, Can you start a new thread detailing the 24V conversion you did on the 6BT, with some pics of the brackets you made/used? Thanks, Joe

Can you describe the procedure you were using to flash the field? Later, Joe

Yes, 1800 RPM for 60Hz operation. Later, Joe

In addition to what Speddmon said, it is better to test a unit with some load to make sure there are no hidden problems. Get several cheap 1500 watt electric heaters to function as a load for the set. The convenience outlet is enough for one, but if you get some wire you can make a junction box...

You need to get the correct potentiometer first and foremost... that will let your voltage adjust properly. The disassembly and testing of the fault indicator panel is located in the -34 in section 3-138. You're going to have to pull it apart and troubleshoot why the indicator panel is not...

It's almost certainly a tie down point for the antenna... here are a couple of pics of my 1009 with the antenna installed and tied down. Later, Joe

Have you pulled the little converter box out of the system yet? That will at least help get it closer. Later, Joe

Antenna tie down point with a piece of tie down rope still attached. Later, Joe

Check to make sure that the small orange wire goes to the output terminal of the glow plug relay, not the input. This wire tells the controller that the relay engaged, and if it is on the wrong side, the controller will not engage the relay. There is a mistake in the wiring diagram that shows it...

Yes, but what are your symptoms? Later, Joe

The turn signals are a different problem unrelated to the starter circuit. Just to make sure it's not just a simple issue, did you accidentally switch off your service lights while bumping around the cab? The two switches to the left of the headlight switch control the blackout light system, if...

Ok the card in your picture is the glow plug controller card. You do not need it if you are doing a pushbutton system. Quick procedure to make a simple pushbutton glow plug system without 24V in the circuit: Disconnect all small wires from the glow plug relay. Disconnect the large red wire from...

Found this article during an unrelated Google crawl... enjoy! Captkaos' How-To Page Later, Joe

Anything's possible with enough ingenuity and determination... LOL I have been told that the 1992 Chevy 3500 Cab and Chassis rear tank will bolt right in, but I have no first hand experience of said modification. Later, Joe
