WOW that looks stock. Nicest truck on the road!

UPDATE: (with part numbers and vendors) I ordered replacement oil cooler hoses for my truck to replace the aftermarket hoses my mechanic ordered. (didn't fit right) I Googled: "1983 Chevrolet K30 oil cooler hose" and got Amazon.com as one hit. I found both the aftermarket hoses as well as...

I gave up on this project months ago. I would be willing to sell my M923 and M109 trailer as a package deal for $10,000 and someone else can complete the project.

Drove the truck to Hattiesburg, MS for Jeff's gathering. Had the wipers running for the 2 hour trip. Later that night when I was heading back home i noticed they were stuck in the vertical position. Had no place to pull over where it was lit up so I had to wait until I reached the EXXON...

Got back home safely after 8:15 PM. Had a great time. For those who missed it due to "weather" really missed out. We took a school bus (long version) to tour the back yard (keep out of the rain. Then we took the bus to Camp Shelby and saw lots of cool MV's including tanks, APCs and other...

Got my tires aired up. Checked the oil. Filled up on Diesel. Rain-X applied. As long as my truck cooperates I will be there Saturday.

According to my conversation with Jeff this morning we are still on rain or shine. Anyone driving by Slidell that wants to convoy up there?

Looks like rain in the forecast for Saturday. What's the plan due to weather?

Followup on the fuel filter install. I took the truck out for a short ride to the post office. She started up in 2 attempts. I always let the glow plugs do their thing instead of running the starter for long intervals. The truck runs very smooth with the new filter setup. So I guess I can...

I just upgraded mu fuel filter system to a Stanadyne FM100 and it did not come with the fuel pressure sensor. My truck seems to run fine without it. In fact it seems to start easier now.

You are more than welcome. That is why we are here...

OK let's see: For the M1008 1 straight shackle for the rear to replace the angled M35 shackle someone put there. I good flywheel. Lift kit. Wheel spacers. 5 HMMWV tires with rims. Long tube steps.

Count me in. Hopefully the M1008 will cooperate.

Did mine this week. Thank you Doghead! Mine had the relay hanging over the accelerator peddle. Replaced it. Found the original relay still attached to the mounting plate under the dash. I made a rubber boot to cover it instead of the tape suggestion.

Is that hamburgers and potato chips or hamburgers and french fries? British Chips are not American Chips. I'm in either way.

Today was warm out 72 degrees. I decided the replace the fuel filter housing with new replacement I bought on Ebay. It is a Stanadyne FM100 with built in heater and water sensor. I also purchases a case of NAPA Gold filters for it on Ebay for $21 shipped. Rated 5 microns. I removed the...

Installed new molded floor mats made by Husky. Also installed a new leather steering wheel cover from Pep Boys. I also replaced the vent window lock on the passenger side door. Yesterday I took the truck in to the shop to have the oil cooler lines replaced. The mechanic had a hard time...

DH starter relay mod completed. (harness was hanging down with a new relay on it. The olde relay was still attached to the back plate when I lowered it down from the dash.) Since the relay attached to the harness was "new" not the original, I was not in a rush to replace it. Seeing the...

I already ordered the gear reduction one from AMAZON.COM. I will keep the current one in stock and see if I can rebuild it. The one I bought has a 2 year warranty. Was $139.99 with free shipping.

I found out today that my IP is leaking fuel. My mechanic pinpointed it to a leaking seal around the throttle shaft where it goes into the IP. Does anyone know a inexpensive fix for this problem? Can the repair be done without removing the entire pump from the engine? The pump still function...
