I am working on a project and got a good deal on what appear to be moly rings. While I have put together some gas motors in my past I have always just used iron. Being that I got these from a private seller, I am not sure what to expect as I paid significantly less than what I have seen at the...

So I got the led strip in the mail, it is a really smart design. dense packed led strip @ 12v and wrapped with a tight silicone tube. The light sines @ 90' to the output, it is backed by a white silicone layer which reflects and allows an extremely effecting amount of diffusing to happen (no...

I deleted the reply to a person who was not pleased with Bostic which is putting it lightly.

I have not had much time to devote to anything on my m1010 lately (trying to rebuild a motor for my work truck at the moment) but I have had some ideas floating around like.... how am I going to organize all the indicator lights for things such as "winch power on" "trans cooling fan, trans temp...

electrical fault or mechanical fault? If it were mine I would first disconnect the starter relay wire and cobble up a manual feed and manually connect it to the batteries. This test eliminates the starting circuit. If problem persists after that test would drop the starter but leave the wires...

how long til that oil turns black? ;P Super jelly.... I just bought a low mileage '01 3500HD (116k) donor truck for my work truck with a 506 block. has the smaller cap bolts but damn if it does not have two cracks already starting to run. I am going to cobble it back together anyways :/ I would...

easy enough to mend if it doesn't work and so is my setup... I am pretty sure either way the downsides are negligible. It could save you from getting stranded as well.... being that I have a ton of solar and a dedicated leisure(3rd) battery I think of my main pair of batteries as a single unit...

I understand how you are wiring it, just not sure it is healthy for the batteries. For instance, you like to run the radio/headlights etc for a while while the truck is off, now the batteries are out of sync. You go to start it and you will have the spare battery doing more of the heavy lifting...

This was an entirely different feel and still had great information! It gave me some questions about my setup in regards to how my batteries are run. Also doing my 2/0 cables I made the same first mistake as you! After doing them a few times I have a different method that works for me that you...

-edit- im tired, if you have turn signals and brake switch is giving power past the harness to the turn signal switch, your problem lies within, I should get some sleep before I post! Wouldnt hurt to clean the harness, should be on right side of steering column. white is brake lights in, green...

probably different than my m1010 and someone can chime in but I had found a junction just behind the rear diff on the drivers side. If it were me I would turn on the hazards and crawl under the front and start poking with a test light and work my way down.... but my guess is you are right and it...

I hope I did not come of as negative. From what I saw you are extremely sharp and have amazing skills! For myself, technical IS entertaining. No need to butter it up. As far as what would be helpful to me specifically? Hell, I have so many lacking areas of knowledge and I do hunt youtube for...

from what I could watch that looks like an amazing truck but I have a tip to your buddy, he is making videos for other guys. From what I could watch the info is good but the delivery seems like he is trying to sweet talk a teenage girl. I couldn't make it through more than two minutes even...

I agree, I went for it, once it all goes the same color (eventually) it might even look stock, got one on already. Had to do some more twisting than I thought on the upper back brace but it came out ok and... it's a truck. I vaguely remembered that and went and peeked at some of your pics...

Thoughts on updating mirrors? pulled some nice ones of a donor and thought they would be a nice addon, stick out about another 3 inches but the tall mirrors are so much easier to see with! Came off a later chevy so I will need to put some rivnuts in and slightly twist the upper arm mounts to...

I hope someone else can weigh in here. In my experience it is the heat of tranny fluid and the heating cooling cycles of the connections and then probably using whatever cheapest ATF rated hose available at the local stores (they do make different flavors and grades). I put up with a bit on a...

All of your fittings look like they will do the job. Stock thread is 45' 1/2x20 so you are fine there. Make sure to get hose rated for tranny fluid. I would say that as a survivor of many a leaking rubber transmission line (sooner or later it will happen) dooing it hardline is a bigger up front...

Just talked to Chris earlier, I will be wiring in a manual lockup switch (will post details later) and I will be getting back out on another trip in a few weeks to try it out. Just that one condition having the heating issue so I think this will solve it but need to balance between having a...

If that coupler is a flare coupler than it would work fine. As pictured it goes from line>flare fitting>flare female coupler> flare to fpt adapter>mpt to barbed fitting. IMHO this is ok IF you specifically want to return to stock for whatever reason. If it is to be permanent then it should be...

I am awaiting a call back from chris, the woman who fielded the call said it may be the right thing to add the manual lockup switch for the slow climbs, will keep you guys updated. Also I will be switching back to my 3500hd part-out project and am curious what size tranny cooler is in there and...
