Outstanding post and info. I’ll be watching this thread closely. BTW, I have an excellent Banks filter box if you need it. Pay the freight and it’s yours.

Mr. Barrman. Just a note to say thank you for the information on the radiator. Mine is on order and the folks sent me an email indicating that it would be shipped in a couple weeks. No problem, I replied, as I have been on this project for 12 years. Reading your post above made me wax...

If you haven't already, you may want to clean and grease the rotating joints behind the firewall. If those are rusty, it will slow the cycle speed.

Ha. You are lucky. I've been working on my M1028 since 2010 and my list keeps getting longer.

Thank you. The Sherpa Steed is on its way, and I just hung up with Ben at Engineered Vintage and got the BBWM ordered. Next in line is Blue Sea. Now I just need to find the time to get everything done!

OK I am finally ready to get back on my rebuild after a serious operation last June and a long recovery/recuperation. A quick update - The P400 / 700R4 / NP241 is still on my engine stand. The aircraft pre-oiler pump has been plumbed with the suction line attached to the passenger-side of the...

Thanks. I plan to add two Blue Sea terminal blocks anyway to power all my stuff (one for 12-volt and another for 24-volt), so I will simply add one of the same fuses to my order. I will appreciate it if you will provide the Blue Sea part number. Never mind, I clicked on the link in your post...

Thanks everybody for your comments. I have decided to follow Skinny's suggestion and add a manual dual port valve to switch between the two tanks. Groco offers a FV-6-5038 bronze 6-port marine valve which will also switch the return lines. Perfect. I will mount the valve under the cab with...

I'm on Sherpa's website now preparing my order. I plan to order the same unit as you did. Question - did you order the 500 amp fuse & fuse-holder?

I'm in the process of installing an auxiliary fuel tank on the passenger side of my M1028 and am considering a different way of plumbing the two tanks. While thinking about the valving and switching between the two, I wondered why the two tanks couldn't simply be plumbed together for one...

Thank you for that information. I had been looking at Sherpa for quite some time, and really liked their product. I guess it took your post to flip my switch. I know all about ordering from Australia. I purchased my supercharger from Bullet in Yatala Qld, wherever the hail that is. I'll...

Guys, if you want an absolutely brand new 27Si alternator, BMP Industrial Supply has 'em for $152.82. I ordered an extra one just to keep on hand, and can attest that it is brand new, not rebuilt. 400-12416 Alternator, 12V, 100A, Delco 27SI, New, Standard (blowermotorsplus.com)

I'm hooked. I want to order the same outfit from Sherpa. Would you be so kind to share your ordering information? Dayum that is good looking.

Just curious - are you powering the 24v winch with the 24v slave wiring?

Hey Guys, Find-It Parts has those WPM180 wiper pumps for $78.82 with free freight...

If I may ask, why are you considering converting to 12-volt only? There are many advantages of retaining the OEM 12/24 volt system. If the system is configured as it was designed, it works wonderfully. If you abandon the OEM design your truck will indeed lose value. In addition, 24-volt...

Now you’ve done it. I gotta have one.

Hold on there Mr. 2insane. Doing 1 and 2 will indeed strengthen an older block, but not to the strength of a P400. The P400 6.5 diesel was designed and built by GEP for the up-armored HMMWV which weighed over 12,000 pounds and would be operating in desert conditions. Unlike regular engine...

Thanks!

Thanks Barrman for that excellent and very informative reply. I believe I will purchase one of those today. One other question - did you have any fitment issues? Did the oil cooler and transmission cooler lines all attach properly with the correct threading?
