    86 M1008 Drum Brakes

    That's good it comes off some...I assume the outer bearing will come out if you push the drum back in? I think you said it didn't but I'd work hard at getting that out...should be able to wiggle the inner race off once you can get the outer bearing out...think that's where I'd start...there are...

    86 M1008 Drum Brakes

    You got the nut off but you pull on the drum and it won't slide off...can you spin the drum by hand? ..like make it go around like it was being driven?...does it have a bunch of wobble? I've had a few that the oil in the diff went low and the bearing race spun and dug into the spindle...can be...

    Yeah the guy we got that and the other bumpers from used it to lift up the truck to cut it apart! I'm not sure if I'll try to hard to bend it back...but yes I do have a massive 25 lb demo axe that might move it!...or destroy the hood and radiator if I miss!!! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    So after a awesome trip up to the one and only CUCVRUS the other day...he's as cool in person as he is here online...so much info and just a all around nice guy...we got all kinds of stuff that the truck needed...also found out it's a 1028 with the way the bed is laid out...I had no idea...the...

    Thanks!! I wish I could say I have done this before to act like I know what I'm doing!!! We have time to double take everything to make sure things are fitting right and soon to be welded in tight! Doing this with my son is a blast too...he's really digging in and working hard to get this done!

    Had some fun making some bumps and bends today...this floor is darn close but still needed fitted to the existing floor...at the front of the back seat is a pretty big hump that it didn't have so we had to make it with a railroad rail I had in the back yard...this thing has made a good bit if...

    We've fit the door several times so far...only had to adjust by using a sand paper grinder on the rocker ends to get it to fit real tight and even...very happy with the fit...I'm lucky since I worked in a shop that had a large body shop for 15 years so I got to see tons of different methods of...

    Update on the floor replacement in the Blazer...found more rust...imagine that...the support in front on the back seat had a good hole in it plus the upper support as well...they all rotted together so I may have found a common spot with 5 layers of steel there that tend to hold water and...

    Th400 going bad?

    That sounds great! 1750 for a built 700 isn't horrible...with the higher grade hard parts that get put in them it bumps the price up a bit plus these are figured out...you tell them what you're gonna do with it and they can match it up...that lower first gear will be real nice plus the...

    MEP-803a possible battery short

    I have 3 300 gallon tanks I use for heating...they are also hard plumbed into the genset...I think it really depends on location...how cold and hot the oil will get etc while in storage mode...I'm in central pa...use the genset for 12 hours every month...I haven't put any additives in the oil...

    Wonderful News! I have what looks like a clocked version of a battery end for the starter main power...it's not just an end of a round cable...I have no parts other than that in installing the starter...not even the 2 bolts that hold it to the engine...I have the old harness that they took out...

    That's perfect!! I'll get one of these on the way...very reasonable price too...I really want a stock relay...I have a blazer that has the big relay in it now that is stuck on that to start, I have to touch the relay bolt with the starter wire to start now...want to put it back to stock as...

    Last month I towed home a 1008...it didn't have batteries or a key...I replaced the batteries with brand new 6t's and replaced the interlock...it wouldn't turn over...I do all kinds of usual testing then head underneath only to find there is no starter!! I was extremely lucky that the battery...

    Looks like a blast!! Good to do it right the first time so you know where you stand.

    MEP 803a back in business: Exhaust questions

    Well...having a second story to go through won't work...you'd want to keep the exhaust hot so it flows up without cooling and getting tons of condensation inside...going out the side should work with the pellet stove spacer in the wall and the pipe run through it...that's a great suggestion from...

    MEP-803a possible battery short

    Ok so you put new batteries in it when you got it and they lasted about 8 months then died...you think there's a slow drain on the batteries to kill them when it sits not being used? Just for my clarification...a short is when a wire is positive and touches ground or vice versa...that would blow...

    MEP 803a back in business: Exhaust questions

    I think I see a wood burning water heater in there now? I'd do the same exhaust set up it has...the double walled pipe going through the roof with a hood....how are you getting fresh air in this shed?

    MEP-803a possible battery short

    These are a 24 volt setup so the batteries will look reversed to get 24 volts...as far as the ground, you have to hook up the battery cable to get a ground...your meter won't do that unless it's in the 10 amp positive port in the meter and put on the battery and the cable...usually that is done...

    M1031 Maintenance Contact Truck just acquired

    That is a nice one!! I never had one with the maintenance box...are you keeping the compressor and genset in there or is that what you were asking about? Keep it or remove it...the last pic has a box next to the oil fill...looks like it's hooked to the throttle...since I've never had a...
