Looks like I got myself a radiator leak. Few years ago I tried tracking down a copper 4 row radiator and seems I just missed the last of those being available. Probably just get a parts store aluminum/plastic one for now and keep trying radiator shops until I find someone that will recore my OEM...

Just because you have pressure doesn't mean you have the volume. Or that the IP is even trying to pull in fuel.

Clever! Hope this works well, I might do the same.

Spent last week rebuilding a transmission then the last few days swapping it with the leaky one in my m1028. Dropped the leaky trans to find one of the mounting flanges on the bellhousing was shattered, so I was glad I was installing a second trans instead of banking on rebuilding that one...

Dropped the trans and transfer case, used oven cleaner and a pressure washer to clean them up, and the teardown has begun...

Perfect, thank you. Surprisingly the fans only run for five or ten minutes before turning off automatically. Kinda neat, makes it sound like a fancy new car.

Finished up the cooling system upgrades. Managed to overlook the fact that the electric fans were hooked to the thermostat and constant 12v, so they stay running even after the truck turns off. Without a pump moving the coolant to the fans thermostat it might be awhile before they turn off on...

Not at all, any stains will just get it closer to tank/brown/black, all of which are acceptable colors! New radiator installed along with electric fans, HMMWV crossover installed as well as paradox kit. Just need to get a few misc items in the morning and I'll be back on the road soon !

Picked my seat up from upholstery shop. He did pretty good for just being shown a picture and going with the materials I picked out! Even installed the heated seat elements I supplied :D

Add the C and D notes and watch people get out of your way!

Yesterday was driver side rear brakes, new wheel cylinder, and bearing repack, did the passenger side a few months ago. Also changed diff fluid and found out one of the plates in the clutch pack for the front posi gave up on life: Also got the leaky radiator pulled and block heater...

Two of four seat mounting bolts are broken off... One was like that when I got the truck, I did the second one removing the seat. Both are on the drivers side. Got an easy out in one, and it is turning, but its so tight im afraid of the easy out breaking. Tomorrow is gonna be interesting...

The only review: July 10, 2018 It is NOT a copper radiator but a plastic/alu radiator. it works but if you want original copper HD radiator, this is NOT it

Yup, had the same problem recently. Got a spectra three or four years ago, was fine. Started leaking about one day after the 2 year warranty was up. Couldn't find another. Ended up with a plastic/aluminum one which is going in this week.

Part number 432098

I was looking around the hinge mechanism on my seat and I found part of what looks to be the locking mechanism just flopping around in there. It's a little bar with that seems like it could crab the teeth on the seat back. It is clearly still missing some parts though.

Pulled the driver seat of my 1028 to take it to get upholstered and have some heated seat elements installed. One of the mounting bolts was already broken. Broke a second one removing the seat, both on the driver side. Guess I know what I'm doing this afternoon... While I'm here, can someone...

Im considering just dumping a whole bottle in my half full tank. A lot of people usually recommend pulling the IP cover, siphoning out the fuel, and filling with this stuff and letting it sit for a few hours. If it still starts and runs with the pump full of that im sure it would do fine in the...

Napa pulled a fast one on me. They warrantied the 4 year old starter that died on me, which was a gear reduction unit, but they gave me a direct drive. Same part number though... Luckily I still have the direct drive starter support bracket in my parts box. Oddly enough I actually found it under...
