    M1031 Steering noise

    Well, I think I've exhausted what I'd look for before I'd replace a part...be nice to at least see some change in it when you try something just to give some verification...well...wish you weren't on the other side of the country...I'd buy that setup all day!

    M1031 Steering noise

    That does make sense...just hoping it could be something cheaper!! It would take some brake lines to put the 2 lines going to the hydro boost to bypass it to see if the noise goes away...I'd be curious if a valve in the boost is vibrating or pressure relief spring is weak or broken in it...the...

    M1031 Steering noise

    That's a nice setup!! I wanted to ask if you have done the 3 foot screwdriver to the ear sound check on the 5 idle pulleys on this engine...that ac clutch one is magnificent...great way to keep the stock belt routing...just throwing that out there just to make sure it's not one of them vs the...

    Turn signals

    I get the heavy duty flasher that helps if you hook up a trailer with lights as well.

    CUCV M1008 Build

    Having it out would make it easier, I try to have someone with to hammer while I hold it square.

    CUCV M1008 Build

    That's a great rebuild of the front axle...that center come out easy enough I hope. Should be good for a long time now.

    Charging issue 1986 m1009

    There ya go!! Gotta have both of those lit with the key on not running and sometimes both will be lit when turning over or sometimes 1 will go out but 2 stay on...with really good batteries and solid alternators that's what mine do...the power to the alternators regulator goes through those...

    Charging issue 1986 m1009

    You say no alt lights for gen one or 2...do the lights come on with the key on and engine not running?

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    I thought I'd play with the vacuum pump this morning to see if it had any and if I could get the trans to shift. The vacuum is at 28 inches, seems high??... so that's working, while I was there I moved the vacuum valve adjustment forward thinking that since it was all the way back it may shift...

    About to join the generator club.

    Yes figure out how much you need before you pick a 802 or 803...I did not and got a 803 figuring bigger is better...I can run my entire house with everything on with the 803 no problem...thing is the engines need to be loaded up to keep running right...gotta get hot...mine barely tries...other...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I bet the firewood is burning a good bit right now as cold as it has been!! I just bought a 1101 a few weeks ago...it has the bows but not the triangles that they go in to mount them...need a cover too, other than that it's a nice one!! LMK if you need wood split...got a teen that loves to...

    My m1009 project

    Do you have a harness to replace the fuse box with or are you wiring one in? The hub is simple stuff...tons of info out there on that axle to fix it up easy...just watch out for cheap parts...if it does need bearings look for the timkin brand...run from the china ones...ball joints is a crap...

    New turn signal issue tonight

    Sounds like a bad socket or bulb is corroded up...I always start these by pulling bulbs...I'd start with a headlight and see if the turns start working, I'd bet something is backfeeding the system, possibly the turn signals are very dim and you can't see them glow and the relay won't click...

    CUCV 383 Green Paint

    I have a few I need to paint and have not looked into this at all yet since it's to cold out to do so...nuts!!! ok I'll look into that paint as the auto paint I am looking at is kinda pricey!!

    CUCV M1008 Build

    The case spreader will make it easier to get out but most use those to set up new gear sets to make sure there is enough preload on the bearings when new...it will be tight but will come out without it...as far as setting it back up after you remove it no not really since it is going back in the...

    Electric Fuel Pump advise

    I looked up the part you are using and found it a replacement for the 6.5...from what I found it's pressures should work fine for the 6.2...I'd mount it on the frame down by the tank though...I did see that there is no mount kit with the pump so you'd have to make one...these are self priming so...

    CUCV 383 Green Paint

    What type of paint does home depot have that is automotive? I don't go to that store so I don't know. I looked up the brand you used and it shows it as a latex water based house paint so I'm thrown off a bit. What sized tip are you using in the hvlp?

    CUCV M1008 Build

    If you can clean it up and can't feel it in the bearing rolling it over it that should be ok...hard to tell how hammered it is...can you feel it with the fingernail?...if you end up replacing it I saw a few online for around 120$ so it isn't that expensive...probably check the other side as well...
