Now that you have deleted the 24V functions of the truck, you can easily switch it over to a serpentine system.

In the absence of those I'm confident in saying it's an M1008. It's great that it has the trac-loc in the front.

The left side alternator is the one providing chassis power to the truck although it could be changed.

So, does it have rear helper leaves?

You can use the right alternator to charge a stand alone system but no idea on a welder. The only issue with lifetime guaranteenparts is that "generally" you spend a lifetime replacing them.

The KM2 is the tire I have. I will get a pic of the sidewall soon. The bent transfer case shifter can be adjusted but it can't be adjusted straight. They are a pain to shift with the bend. The following is some nice M1010 ****...

I see what you are saying. I have 2 points to discuss. 1) Tom mentioned that it's primary use would be on his farm. Unless he rams into the back of a family member, I don't see a problem there. 2) Pinned in place usually means the pins can be removed and the winch dropped off the truck. Your...

Fair enough!

How about text from you describing what you are inquiring about? Sample! "Hey Gang, saw this truck on Govplanet. It has some weird bracket hanging from under the truck that looks like it's suspended by 2 studs. Any idea what this is? See Pics" You could have had your answer in the 2nd...

Lift blocks in front? Someone else has to pay. Crappy trailer hitches, someone else has to pay. Any winch operator worth their weight in dog dung doesn't let ANYONE in the danger zone while winching. The one thing that scares the living heck out of a mechanical engineer, is a common sense...

Rest in peace my brother. Thanks for all you have shared with us here. You are certainly in great company now.

The wing vent is the little glass on the door. TM would likely have the correct terminology.

A little text to go along with your pics would be very helpful. Sadly, no one here can see through your eyes to see what you see. I see a muddy 14B FF rear axle assy.

This met with some resistance as well. Transfer cases had always had gear oil in them and a number of folks couldn't accept the ATF and switched out lubricants. Usually this resulted in failure.

Those who can, do! Those who can't, teach! Those who can't teach, consult on forums!

Really simple install. Get a friend to help you bench press it into place. It's only a matter of about 6 bolts, 2 driveshafts, speedo cable, electrical plug and shifter linkage.

The 208 is one of the easier to rebuild. Don't need a press. The pricing seems high but I can't compare, I do all my own work.

I edited the post above. The shelter carriers do have overloads. I should proof read!

Odds are, the truck is exactly what the VIN indicates. Either through assy line errors or maintenance in the DOD, you ended up with the trac lock diff. 1028s do not have troop seats, inner bed tie downs but have overload springs in the rear. A previous cab change is not out of the norm...

The factory alternators were 27SI. Yours had something different? Got pics?
