    Starter stud.

    I checked both direct and indirect drive starters that I have laying around and they are both 1/4-20. If you need exact lengths, I can get that for ya tomorrow. I think that part number shown will work but don't take my word.

    Maybe something like this will work.

    How to lock up / secure a M35 A3 ?

    I wired in a keyed ignition and usually pull the wires to it off when on public display.

    Great 1st truck, hope your budget can handle the future additions. There's no turning back now.

    Glowplug system questions

    The new capacitors didn't help at all. But the new card was the solution.

    M1009 wiring questions

    Great help there. I will add that extracting the card is made easier by pulling with a hook pick in the little hole on the end of the card. I grab one side with fingers and hook pick the other side. Just be sure to disconnect the batteries first.

    MEP-802A compare to Miller Big Blue 500

    I have a couple 400s, great machines. I can attest to their ability to weld in volume at high amps. No idea how they compare to MEP power generation. But I do know they weld way better than the Hobart welder they gave me in the military. Even if you don't weld much, you can burn a half dozen...

    Help needed with CUCV charging system to reverse 12 volt conversion

    Looks like you might need a second battery tray. Can't quite see.

    Glowplug system questions

    While cleaning up the card and connections, I found a couple leaky capacitors and ordered replacements from amazon. 9 bucks for 4 of them so it's worth a shot. Especially since they will beat the new card here.

    The resistor is functioning properly.

    Glowplug system questions

    Yes sir, that's the one. I am just a bit reluctant to simply plug a new card in. Hope it would solve everything but with the way things have been going lately, it seems like if I do that the new card will be damaged and I will still be lost.

    Glowplug system questions

    Thanks for responding. I am waiting for the card to be delivered. The sensor was replaced with the original 1 wire Borg Warner sensor.

    Glowplug system questions

    I have been replacing wiring and cleaning up a newly acquired M1008. The glowplug system was not operating correctly when I bought the truck. I can tell it was once a well loved truck before a more recent, less talented owner took over and began "fixing" problems. I recently completed replacing...

    Naming of a spare part in the dashboard - Blazer K5 / Spare Parts Shop Search

    $100 is a steep price. It's not often I can help out around here since most are much smarter than I. But I poked through a parts pile and found one this morning. There are some limitations to my freedom of moment these days so it could take some time, but I would be happy to send this off for no...

    GEN 2 lamp went on while driving.

    I envy the easy fix brought on by an obvious oversight. Could use a couple of those right now.

    Stuck glow plug, advice needed.

    That's the kind of day I had yesterday. Broke a vent window reinstalling it. Really stupid mistake. But I'm not gonna pay someone to do it for 200 bucks when I can do it for 400.

    Stuck glow plug, advice needed.

    Pb blaster for a day or 2 on the stuck threads. Antisieze on the threads of replacement plugs. Is it possible to file 2 opposing sides of the damaged/swollen plug so that it fits into the puller? I have used the JJ and A tool you pictured with success. Just had to cut off the terminal and it...
