Nothing will be harmed except your fuel mileage and the extra noise at idle. What kind of mpg are you getting at those speeds. Mine goes from 20 mpg at 62 mph to 16 mpg at 70-75 is why I ask.

Push the bearings from the other side, That will push the seal out too. Gently.

Nice looking truck, but why do you have 2 threads about the same thing?

I think you need a bigger spoiler on the roof.

Yeah, those little plastic plugs are what makes the alternator work. Get new ones for maybe $5.00 a set. The glow plugs stock were 12 volts. So other vehicles could slave start your dead truck, both batteries feed the glow plug system. The big "plate" on the firewall is actually a resistor...

If your glow plugs work, then your resistor has been bypassed. Don't worry about it right now since it has nothing to do with the ALT 2 light. You wrote that you have searched. Did you download the manuals and look through the huge troubleshooting section of the -20 manual? That should be...

Glad you got what you wanted Sam.

So, did the parts get put in, did it fix the truck, did the truck get needed and used?

I have gotten into the habit of trying to tighten those two nuts down more every time I open the hood. Just because the noise they make when loose is just not right.

Loose air cleaner housing maybe?

You really need to let the bug bite you. It will be like driving the M715, but for half the cost, more speed, less interior heat and you will sit in seats you actually want to sit in for more than about 10 seconds. Being able to walk into an auto parts store and ask for a part by announcing...

The horn problem is more than likely the button on the steering wheel. Did you test the components inside the alternators? What was wrong?

Verify your odomter with gps or interstate mile markers. Do as long of a run as possible to find out exactly what percentage you are off. My speedo with the BFG 33x12.40 is off 12 percent, but the odometer is only off 6 percent. Town driving can really kill your mpg's no matter how careful...

Mine read acurate for a month last fall. Then one fill up when I was down to 1/4 tank (23 gallons added). It only went ot half tank. It worked on the reduced range scale for a few months. I hit a nasty unseen speed bump and it went to 3/4 with a full tank and read accurate for a few months...

Boxcar says he is bound and determined to make it as well. However, he still hasn't found and installed a new tie rod end which is what kept him away from the spring gathering. Sermis is changing job duties and won't know until closer if he can make it. Kwai is also unsure of his schedule...

The -20 manual has about a page devoted to fuel gauge repair and diagnosis. Basically, unplug the lead at the tank. Turn on the key and see what happens. Ground the lead, turn on the key and see what happens. Open should be way past full while grounded should be below empty. If yours does...

The cost is for the park and split among all that show up. The more people, the less we each have to pay. That park is in Bryan Texas just a mile or so north of College Station. Hours & Locations

The tunnel is part of I-70. You actually have to look for the road to the pass and exit the interstate. Here is a link about it: http://www.coloradodot.info/travel/eisenhower-tunnel/description.html I am looking at taking my M1009 to just West of the tunnel this winter. Those of you that live...

When or if you buy one. Plan on replacing all brake moving parts, brake hoses, belts, hoses, batteries, light bulbs, tires, oils, filters, starter, u-joints and at least rebuilding one alternator. Call it $1000. This is because the truck will be at least 25 years old and things rot/wear out over...

A good way to check the shocks is to take the temperature of the body after driving it for a while. Then compare the shock temp to something non moving near it. Same temp and the shocks are not doing anything. Big temp difference and the shocks are working great. They make heat when they...
