Not much. Drain it, disconnect hoses and cooler lines (oil and tranny) and unbolt the top brackets and push the fan shroud back and lift it up out of there. Pretty straightforward.

True, but this a little harder to tell from the outside, just by looking, unless the posi tag is still on the axle, which isn't always the case. And, if it is, it is usally hard to find through the grime...

Especially check the rubber lines that attach the steel lines along the frame and check the rubber line to the fuel pump on the engine. Sometimes, especially when the weather turns cooler, the vacuum in the tank from the cooling fuel will pull the fuel in the lines back. Provided the check valve...

As above, the K30 w/ 6.2 diesel is correct for pretty much everything except the alternators and the transfer case, but I doubt you're buying parts for the t-case.

Check the NSN and GVW on the data plate and hope nobody did any fancy axle switching. The overload springs are your best bet. It's a lot of work to put those on another truck. The rest of the spring pack is the same.

Well, I wasn't feeling "knocked", and I sure ain't wealthy. I've got nothing but 6.2's, turbo'd and not... And, don't forget, those deuces will be worth more soon enough...

Doubtful that any truck is coming out with only 2500 miles. Probably 102,500, but there's plenty of life left in it, if it was maintained well. Find someone who can cut you a key from theirs. Or, you can search here and find the code to give to a Chevy dealer to get one cut. I hope no criminal...

Last I heard they were only worth about $5... Basically, if you pay the shipping, I'll take it off your hands... ;)

Probably as many as that Cummins can haul around once it is tweaked and installed... ;)

Cool. :drool: What what is designed to haul?

Definitely.

Argue with GL until they give you an Arizona title. That's about your only option...

Get a new one built. The can use your ends and just weld them into a new shaft. It'll probably cost $150 or so. I think the only one that is a true direct bolt-in will come from a mid-80's 3/4-ton 4x4 with a 14-bolt full floater, like is in the M1008. Usually, big-block (or perhaps diesel)...

My wife said it looks like about 12"... :P

It sure would look good towing a nice M101A2...;)

The dually has the heavier Dana 70HD, but the frame and springs are the same. The Payload of the dually is 4000# (including crew - uniform distribution).

I think he's talking about the thick gunk that orms on the inside of engines sometimes. If the engine gets idled a lot and never heated up, it can appear milky brown.

I've gone in the Rt. 32 gate several times with my pickup and car trailer to pick up stuff. Those guys don't care if you are commercial, as long as you have an ID, registration and insurance card. I was just there a couple of months ago and that's how I went in. I'll be there Wednesday...

RE: Re: RE: Radiator? Get a diesel radiator if you want the oil cooler and tranny cooler lines to line be useful. $350-$500 new at most parts houses. The gassers usually have the tranny cooler lines on the passenger side and no oil cooler fittings.

Wow, that appears to be a really clean M1010! Good score!
