So for a while now I have been having some bad steering problems. Every time I take a turn, left or right, the wheel will turn A LOT before the truck actually starts to turn. Plus when I go back to straight, my steering wheel is never in the same position, it moves after every turn. I was...

Well lets see, since the last time I posted I have replaced the high pressure steering hose from pump to hydro (feels good to have ps and brakes again). Also installed a radio and sony 6x9 speakers. Done some other minor stuff too but cant remember what...

So lately I have been having problems with my GPs not heating up so I want to completely bypass the controller card and install a push button. However, I am completely confused because I think someone has messed with it before. Everything I have read never said anything about a relay coming off...

Well I disconnected the ip and turned it over hoping to blow it out but no go. Looks like ill have to break it off. If I remove that injector will I need to bleed fuel system afterwards? If so how? Dont have my tm's with me atm...

That's the thing im short on funds right now and dont have the tools required for removing the injector so im trying to avoid that. I tried vise grips and a couple other methods but with no luck.

So one of the wellman gp's I put in less than a month ago is swollen bad. Im working right now on replacing them with ac60g plugs, but cant get this one out. All but one were swollen but this one is being a pita. Ive read a few places that if all else fails, you can start the engine with the...

So yesterday I did some work, repositioned the pitman arm and adjusted the drag link so now my steering is good minus the steering wheel being off center. Busted down the rims again, cleaned mating surfaces and checked orings and valve stems, now I have 2 tires that hold, 1 with very slow leak...

So what seems like a year later im almost done with the lift. All I have left to do is readjust the pitman arm since im pretty sure we put it on 1 tooth off (wont turn all the way to the left now) and fix 3 of my rims. I had my 13 year old brother put the rims back together and 3 of them are...

So I finally got to start work on the truck yesterday. Got the rims sandblasted and got the first 2 coats of flat black on them. Also got the bed taken off, removed the spare tire and hanger, cut the exhaust and removed the last bracket on each side since they were no longer needed. I plan to...

SHE LIVES!!!! Went out with my TM and multimeter (1st pic) today and before i even started i decided to use the MM to test all the fuses. found a 20 amp one that was bad so i took a 5 minute walk to autozone, replaced the fuse, and she lives! also managed to fix my dash too, now my wts, wif...

Well, Got my new glowplugs installed today. Also installed new batteries since my old ones(which were only rated for 425cca) were down to 3 and 22 cca's. About as dead as they get. Anyways, now that i have new GPs and new batts, the darn thing still wont start. Also i cant hear the gp relay...

So I drove down to Dawsonville GA today and picked up my new rims and tires. John is a great guy to do business with, was very friendly. He also told me that they are going to start selling used CUCV parts in the near future.

Oh ok. So you just cut off the old tips and crimp those on?

Where did you get the wire ends cause if they are that bad that is probably the route I would wanr to go as opposed to grinding the tips down every time I get new plugs... just seems like a hassle

So since I wont be getting my glowplugs in till next year, I decided to go ahead and order my lift kit from ORD while they are running their Christmas sale. Got 4" front springs, 4" shackle flip with 4.5" Super Shackles, TC sx8000 shocks, new u-bolts front and rear, new sway bar bushings, drop...

The part number is CCG070, Command Components by Wellman.

Well as soon as i get a chance to look into it I will let you all know what its for. Also ordered some glowplugs yesterday on eBay, cheaper than the 60s and easier on me since I wont have to worry about modifying the connectors on them. Still Havent had a chance to do all my electrical...

This is that switch i was referring to.

I can take a pic tomorrow, but in the picture up there it looks like theres 3 different things in the spot under the controls? All I have on mine is like a 12v toggle switch with a tiny bulb right beside it... I will post pics tomorrow to clarify.

Thank you ThunderCracker. Anyone know what the switch under the heater controls is for? Has a tiny bulb right beside it but as far as I can tell it doesn't do anything.
