Batteries took a full charge it cranks over good I was told it might be a bad regulator in GEN 2.

My 1008 arrived from louisana last week it is a nice rustfree truck it has a new spare never run on but it had no driveshaft so tomorrow I go to the junk yard to hunt one down I had to lock it into four wheel drive to run it up to the garage. Im having a problem with the electrical system (go...

If its really motor oil you could hav a lot of blowby in the crankcase and its pushing the oil out a leaky hose going to the CDR valve but I would bet its fuel leaking from the IP.

Take a flashlight and check the valley under the intake manifold and see if its wet with fuel when the throttle shaft seals go on the IP it leaks down the valley of the engine to the back and down the bell housing to the ground it almost makes it look like a rear seal is leaking on the engine...

A friend of mine runs G177s he likes them they are reasonable with good tread and are a real heavy tire I have run G286s before and like them too but the tread is a bit less aggressive. The goodyears dont seem to crack and dry rot as fast or as bad as the michelins do either.

I bought them from a tire outfit who sells military tires he doesnt have any more XLs right now he had three other sets and sold them to a place that tests fire retardants. Needless to say they sprayed them and set them on fire thirty 90% percent XLs reduced to ashes but they paid his price and...

I just got a set of XLs for my 53 studebaker 100 dollars each heres a pic with the new tires on the truck in the first parade of this season.

Had a friend tellm me those trucks were in rough shape lots of bent driveshafts and the usual forklift dents. If they sat anywhere it got below freezing the batteries froze and are junk they sit so long with no charging they freeze up and the plates crack in them. many have bad tires, u-joints...

Not to mention most women I know can spell above a sixth grade level.

Take one wire run it to one of the small terminals and ground it take another and run it from the other small terminal to your pushbutton.

I assume you want enough to do two trucks PM gimpyrob or M1075 better yet check out the classifieds here I thought I saw some for sale there.

I sell a few things in the classifieds and include pics when I can make them small enough but for some things you just cant get the pics small enough. If I want to post the pic of a truck I have to be standing an acre away just to get the picture small enough to crop. This is not a rant or...

Check the driveshaft for dents I just got a 1008 and so far I replaced the starter, did the doghead starter relay conversion, repinned and bushed the hinges on both doors, rebushed and adjusted the door striker pin, getting a new driveshaft made so I have been busy lately. Good thing is the...

I have always had good luck with the GSA way more accomodating than another unnamed auction company. I have learned over the years there is good places to get things from on the GSA and some not so good.

Yes the starter is on the truck I usually just buy the federal surplus trucks because they are the ones not issued to a government entity so I dont know how this one got this way but I have had the purple wire carry power down to the starter and not energize the terminal on another truck there...

I think the relay might still be there I hear something sounds like it energizes where the relay is and when I turn the key to the start position I get power to the purple wire.The generator light goes on when the key is turned on too.

Thats what I thought I will probably do the roscommon 12 volt conversion I have done it a few times but even if the starter were 12 volt I had it wired 24 volt I thought it would still start just turn the starter a bit faster.

I bought this 84 1009 from federal surplus on the GSA sight unseen looked pretty nice in the only pic they posted. I usually buy from federal surplus because the trucks come there directly from the DRMO and they are usually stock trucks. As I was trying to get the hood open while looking through...

Your pump is DOA the same thing happened to the 1008 I bought from the GSA same symptoms good fuel to the pump but nothing to the injectors I replaced the pump and it works great now. I have a friend who owns a diesel shop in woodstock IL he has pumps sitting on the shelf for the 6.2.

I have the combat style wheels on this truck in the first picture you can see the center plate is recessed no flat as the center of a HEMTT wheel is.I put HEMTT wheels on the truck the in the second picture besides I pay way less for the wheels on the first truck than the HEMTT wheels.
