According GP they do not file the SF97 paperwork until the customer picks up the item, I picked it up on Monday and received the SF97 today, if not a record it must be close!
I did notice the fan temp switch is missing, but at least they put in a little plastic plug!
So that 10K GVWR is no joke.
This R1 uses the same engine (GEP serpentine) the same remote type PS pump, the same transfer case, same transmission (4L80) and diffs (2.73) as the later A2 trucks.
BUT it has 10K hubs, brakes (10.5") and half shafts, kinda a psychobilly truck
This means I do have...
Between rain drops I put the R1 into the shop and did a 5 min inspection before getting the dinner bell.
The right front half shaft was not removed, it removed itself so there is that small amount of damage to address but I have bigger fish to fry for now, also that brake line is way too close...
That is the "new" parts number, you can still find plenty using the old parts number 57K0264, I love HPG but $125 for a set of brake pads is a little out there.
You will find the part numbers you need in TM 9-2320-280-24P-1 all the TMs needed are free for the downloading at

The first 8 TMs are what you should start with, especially reading the -10 operators manual.
Basically if you look at the direction the shaft moves that is turning the TPS from idle to WOT.
Turn the TPS that same direction to up shift earlier, the opposite direction to up shift later.
We had fun unloading it today, the hotshot company that owned my trailer before me put a couple sheets of plywood centered over the axles, not because the deck was bad but to protect the deck, they of course would load smaller heavy loads directly or nearly directly over the axles.
Pam could not...
This is a thread on the R1 I just got home yesterday.
One of the reasons I bought it is because it has IP written on the hood.
I have an idea for the IPs that don't look bad, no rust in the gov. housing but will not pump fuel, it is yet to be determined if this is one in that category.
This is...
Am I wrong or are there two different passenger seat bases, I see the plastic ones like Basic/A1/A2 trucks have then I see this aluminum base that I assume is for a later style truck...
Yes the brake switch to the TCM opens when you step on the brake disabling the torque converter lock, so a loose connection or an intermittent switch can cause the torque converter to lock and unlock.
I picked up the 4 speed R1 today, there were a few pieces missing and someone unbolted but did not get the 4 speed shifter, the bolts are plainly seen installed on the auction photos, they have a security issue at the Lytle yard for sure.
There are a few more R1s at the yard.
