Hey all, searched on here and found bit and pieces of info, mostly people with actual transmission problems and not so much about the indicator. My shift indicator has been off at least 1 "gear" for sometime now. I tried adjusting the "string" back sometime ago, but the indicator would soon...

Hey Cucvrus [thumbzup] I actually had found and ordered the correct part (and a couple other things) on hillbillywizard.com before I saw your reply. But your suggestion would have worked just as well. After finding out there was supposed to be a guard there, I had considered just making...

Hey SteelNinja, This is only what I have skimmed from reading threads on here, as I am considering other led lights too... so take this with a grain of salt as I have not done this myself yet. -->Dash you can't replace the alternator bulbs with led as it causes some issues. You can replace...

Thanks guys, never knew there was supposed to be a guard there. Wouldn't have even thought about it. Will look and see if I can find a guard. I may go ahead and replace the belt again. I replaced it once already, and it still looks basically new, not worn. but I've already got it pulled as far...

Hey all, I've had an issue with my belt moving/bouncing enough that it is able to touch the bottom side of the top radiator hose to put some marks in it. Tried to take a couple pics of where its hitting and of the thermostat housing. Where it bumps the hose it hasn't made a deep mark, but...

ok, i guess i just forgot LMC didn't have the K30 listed.

Hey Jeepadict! Thanks for the brands and link. Yeah, I know the lights are pretty much the same across all models. I was just going to look up some other stuff. Some parts are still interchangeable. I just couldn't figure out why they don't have the C30/K30 listed anymore... kind of weird when...

Hey all, been a while since I posted anything. I am doing some work and upgrades to my '86 M1008. Just ordered a set of Truck-Lite 27450C LED headlights a few days ago. A much needed upgrade in my opinion. I hate driving at night with the stock headlights, especially with all the deer on our...

glad it was of help Jake :mrgreen: Like I said, such an option may require some problem solving and etc, but its also a Whole Lot Less expensive than the custom built all aluminum radiator from one of the "hot rod" and "racing" companies, like griffinrad or mishimoto. I wouldn't have minded...

Hi Jake, From what I could find back when I replaced my radiator, Genesis auto parts is no more, or they sold out, etc. However, after replacing the stock radiator with another stock radiator at the cost of $400+, and then having more problems with it, had it repaired... repaired again... then...

Hello Cucvrus! Thanks for your reply! Yeah, I read where you said you had used the aluminum/plastic rads without much issue. I looked at several on several different parts sites (o'reilly, rockauto, etc) and all of them seemed to be pretty much the same manufacture irregardless of brand. And...

AH ok, ELC "Extended Life Coolant" and SCA "Supplemental Coolant Additives" :doh: I know we aren't supposed to use dexcool or other oddball AF's. But i thought some guys on here told me some years ago that this prestone was fine... still don't know what that would have to do with the radiator...

Hi Matt5, Thanks for the Comment! The antifreeze I use is Prestone Concentrate Extended Life Coolant with "CorGuard" for "All Makes All Models". Its rated for 5 years / 150k miles. Don't see anything on the jug about ELC or SCA. My Dad has only put about... 8k miles on the truck in the last 5...

Yeah it blew a head gasket about 3 years ago. Had to replace the heads (old one's were "riddled with cracks" from what the shop who fluxed them said), new head bolts, gaskets, thermostat, etc etc. Redid everything new. I did this once before, and thought about this again a few weeks ago, so I...

Hi Doghead! Thanks for the Reply! To answer your questions: Yes... and no. Yes, when we first bought the truck, when doing all the other maintenance we completely flushed the system (which it didn't appear to need, but did it anyway) and everytime we've had to pull the radiator for repairs or...

I know this thread is a couple years old, but does anyone know of another source where to find a good All Aluminum Radiator for a reasonable price for the 6.2L now? Looks like "genesis" went out of business, as their site is no longer up. The stock radiator on my Dads M1008 split an entire...

well, if I had a press it would be much easier and safer on the casing. I may just build me a press, could've used one a few times.... just need a place to sit it when its not in use. in any case, I may check with a local guy who may have a case. If not I'll buy one off ebay. If I had taken my...

well of course i had to screw up something right at the last thing that I needed to fix to have the truck back up fully functional... blew a hole in the back of the alternator casing trying to install the new "capped" bearing.... I don't have a press or anything like that, so I put the...

Here's a separate question: Has anyone heard of a "CHEVY DELCO ALTERNATOR HARNESS ANTI- FEEDBACK DIODE wire" for the 27si alternator? Now, I'm no electrician (but I have learned a lot through the years repairing all kinds of stuff), but I do understand that a diode is basically a "one way...

Ok, Tested the batteries, both showed around 1000 cranking amps under "tester load". Which 1000ca is their rating. So even though they are 6 years old, the batteries seem ok. I took my voltage tester and checked the drivers side alternator, it showed about 14 volts or just over, which should...
