On all my work trucks I like to put in a mechanical gauge. Nothing much can go wrong with them and they do not lie as much as electrical gauges. I also keep one loose to attach for diagnosis of low oil pressure on an electrical gauge. Oddly enough I will be doing this tommarow with my F-350 when...

Do the surety bond route. In MI if it is older and worth less then $2500 you can bypass the bond and get a vin inspection. I have said this in other posts but the title companies use semi legal grey area ways to get titles. They make up a bill of sale then get a title converted in a bill of...

Sorry jim, The fitting near the boot is the injection nozzle for the ether injection system. I can see that there is no cannister attached to the firewall so basically it does nothing for you right now. When you get a cannister for the system you can use it to cold start the truck when the...

If you make the biodiesel you can run it with out modification based on the info on the biodiesel websites. Running straight waste vegi oil without going through the biodiesel process requires changing out some components and heating the fuel tank. There are kits available for a change over.

This brings up a good question. What doe it cost to get the injectors cleaned and tested?

I will put it on my calender.

At least part of the diff is that fact that you have a 6.2 Diesel engine. It has alot of torque and pulling power. The stripped down half tons with small engines come closer to the 1/2 ton rating. Engine horspower and torque effects the rating. Spring rates and brakes are other factors. A...

The drive train on the M1009 is a 1/2 ton drivetrain that probably has been beefed up a little for the military. Any GM with six lugs is in the half ton family. It would need eight lugs to have the 3/4 ton drivetrain. That being said actually gross vehicle weights differ alot more than the...

Ok Mike, I know sometimes people add a ford type solenoid (actually just a relay) because the GM starters are troublesome. I did not know if the diesel trucks were different from gas trucks. It sounds like your relay under the dash is the only difference. I revised my post but you seem to...

This brings up a very good safety tip. The proper way to jump any starter soleniod is to jump the hot wire to the small wire that is the small current engagement wire that runs to the ignition switch. This is the only way to avoid the welding. If this does not work then the solenoid is not...

If this is the typical GM starter there is a solenoid that attaches at the top of the starter which acts like the ford soleniod on the fender and as the actuator that physically makes the bendix kick out and grab the ring gear. On 12 Gm vehicles there is no external solenoid. the start wire just...

I think they are sold as scrap metal. That is alot of metal. It would probably bring that amount just to be melted down.

Dave, I am sure the extra weight is the crate and the axle clamps. They are real heavy. Still seems a little high though. I need the update for the bar I got from Sonny. I think all the bars with the older all in one adapter need the MWO applied if it is not already done. Also to all. The...

Great thanks. Were all course thread or were any fine?

Mangus wanted a pic of ringmount legs to compare to convoy light poles. I could not get them to go by PM so now everyone can see them.

Hear is my other form of security.

Was that truck a gasser on Ebay about a year ago? I was so close to bidding on it if it was. I wanted it real bad but had not towbar to tow it back with. I think it did not have a bed if I remember correctly. Chuck

No problem. Too cold to work today or tommarow or the day after that or the day after that or the day after that...............

Are these never used tires?

I get email updates when an item is posted and I think when it is changed. I can't remember how I set it up but you can do it.
