Changed glow plugs and connectors. Took me and a helper about 30 min to complete. We figure that they had been changed at some point before I bought it. Super easy!! And after doing my homework, we were prepared to deal with at least one or more swollen GP's. Two had signs they were on their...

Got around to installing an overhauled filter base with new heater element. Hope that fixes my hard starting problem I run into from time to time.

Performed some troubleshooting on a hard start/ rough running after start problem. Tweaked idle up a touch, replaced a leaking-dry rotted fuel line ( top inboard side of filter base to the IP ) Still need to change the fast-idle temp switch. Wanted to get the hard start problem fixed first. If...

Sweet mod!! Armrests....thats awesome!! I'm sure they will be much more comfotable than the OEM seats.

Removed batteries, cleaned up battery trays, swapped battery positions. On the road again.....

Adjusted idle, cleaned check valve on the IP, Bled fuel filter. On the road again.

Installed new drive shaft. Custom made from Gregory's Fleet Supply here in Va Beach. 160 bucks. Had to get replacement rear yoke straps and bolts from Denny's driveshaft....

L U C K Y!!!! :beer:

Oops.....Kinda scary event While I was under the truck, R&R'd my main drive shaft u-joints. I had been getting some strange noises during acceleration last week. The rear U-joint fell apart as soon as it was off the truck. Before and after the U-joint change I was getting a strange vibe at...

Removed fuel tank and found the packing under the sending unit lock ring had slid out of it's groove. Installed new packing, applied sealant to re-installed sending unit. What a pain....If anyone else gets a sending unit from LMC, the o-ring needs to be stretched out a little to fit the groove...

While cleaning the inside of "Thing 2" yesterday, found my hydrobooster leaking. Oh joy....[thumbzup]

Changed oil and filter. Checked other fluids. Rotated tires.

They look just like the old ones that came with the truck. OEM?? Who knows. The one that came loose made a heck of a racket...

After getting the part number out of the TM, replaced one of my worn out air cleaner wing-nuts with these. General Motors Air Cleaner Hold Down Wing Nut -M6-1.0 14001197

Ditto on the air cleaner wing nuts, just found the same thing saturday.

It fits.... Installed skid plate and bumper. It fits!! The fuel gauge "works"....still dont trust it. I'll continue to use a fuel log.

According to the measurements of the tank, it's only an inch taller than the 27 gal tank that had been installed. Prior to removal of the old tank, it looked like we had at least 3 inches of space between the old tank and skid plate. " Should " fit....we'll find out later today. I'll post pics...

Installed new 31 gal fuel tank and sending unit. After a 15 sec bleed, she cranked right up and stayed running. It's going to be weird having a fuel gauge that works.[thumbzup]

Removed old, rusted out, leaky fuel tank last week. While I'm waiting on parts.....cleaned up fuel tank skid plate, moved license plate to where the pintle hook went, re-painted bumper. Placed order for 31 gal tank and everything that goes with it......$$$$ Cha-ching$$$$ Hope to be up and...
