My suggestion is to finish what you started to do a few months ago. Put a mechanical gauge on there so you know what is happening. Once you figure out your oil pressure is ok. You will need to go tracing wires, cleaning the big through the firewall plug behind the fuse panel, cleaning the...

When you let off the power and do anything besides exactly straight, the locker will unlock. You are probably just hearing the locker lock back up again. I tell people riding with me in the Detroil Lockered M715 "it is just the locker saying hello." They usually have big bug eyes after the noise.

Thank you.

Nice install. I would be interested in the Vintage Air part number of the kit. I was only aware of Nostalgia air Products making a bolt on CUCV set of brackets and pulleys until this thread. Thanks.

I would suggest what the others have already written. Plus to answer your question on speed. I always got the best miles per gallon at speeds slower than 62 mph gps speed with the 31 inch tall tires on mine. The truck was designed to run at 55 mph which was the national speed limit when it...

The stock prop rod had an angle iron type mount that bolted with two screws to the floor. About 4 inches rear of the passenger side rear seat belt mount infront of the tire well.

Did you get the dash lights to work?

He turns 15 today and we will get his learners permit tomorrow. RED is going to get driven some to shake all the bugs out soon.

I ordered the console lock. It showed up today and is not the correct part for those consoles. Totally different than what goes there. It is probably the part for the older style console.

Rebuilding it yourself might be a better option. Search for Delco 27MT rebuild kits and you will find a bunch out there. 28MT if you have the redux version. Make sure you buy 24 volt brushes though. Everything else is the same as 12 volt. I did one a few months ago and I think it was less...

That is for wiring. Mechanically, again going from memory: New hose from vacuum pump to the vacuum control valve on the side of the IP. New hose from the vacuum control valve to the modulator on the side of the transmission. There is metal tubing some of the way between the pump and the...

Yes, that was him Chris. He is off at football practice right now. Thanks for the part number Joe. I hadn't been able to find that before. He is mighty proud of how the console came out. It was some other odd color and he was going to paint it to match the rest of the interior, got creative...

Glad to hear all is good. It was nice to meet you as well.

Your parking brake cables are rusted and not letting the brakes turn off. Crawl under the truck in front of the drivers side rear tire. Wiggle the parking brake cable housing and it might let go. I had the same thing happen last year 200 miles from home. $40-$50 to LMC and all was fixed a...

I also did the sheet metal screw into the metal under the gauge panel. To make the cable slide, I put a starter motor to starter solenoid copper spacer over the screw. Works great.

You need to pressure test the cooling system. Some auto parts stores will rent a pressure tester to you. They just screw on where the radiator cap goes. Pump the cooling system up to 15-17 psi. Then listen for where the leaks are coming from. If you hear/feel the leak in the radiator...

How long do you use the starter for each start up? If you engine and glow plug system is in good tune, 1/2-1 second is about all it will get used. If you have to crank 5-20 seconds everyday for starting, the starter will not last very long.

I know this is a day later, but did you test your old one first? The fast idle/cold advance switch only works when the coolant is below 95°. If you are having hot starting problems, this isn't the problem. My trucks haven't had fast idle in the afternoon here in Texas for a few weeks now...

Congrats on Patrick doing so well. Nice trailer too.

A regular gas engine inductive timing light with a rpm display hooked to a pulse signal convertor works great. Most people already have the timing light but need to buy the $75-$100 convertor. I would suggest a $100 tiny tach install and then you can tell your rpm's all the time.
