Those of you who want to install a keyswitch in your trucks should avoid any of the cheap imports and stick with something like the Grote 82-2156 universal ignition switch. A quality product that won't give you headaches. Sorry for the number screwup. It should have been 82-2156 instead of...

That place looks exactly like Jim Williams yard in Scranton where I got all the little bits and pieces mine was missing!

I bought this Yale lock after seeing them on the door of the hotel I stayed at in England. It's a standard Yale product over there but you can order one from Amazon here in the states. Looking at the P-89 I realized that the brass latch is tapered like a standard door latch would be. If you...

The TH400/3L80 transmission was standard in the early vehicles and it's also used by hot rodders and drag racers to give you some idea of it's ruggedness. There are tons of upgrades for them including kevlar bands and heavy sprag clutches. Top speed can be an issue in stock trucks but there...

The middle post on the starter body is the system ground post and the cable coming from it should run to the shunt in the battery box. This post should read 0 ohms to ground. This is also the post that the supplemental ground harness connects to. If you don't have one installed in the truck I...

Disconnect your batteries and then remove the heavy gauge wire that goes to the starter from the stud on the starter. With an ohm meter measure the stud to the case of the starter. If you show continuity (0 ohms) then the solenoid has shorted out and needs to be replaced.

These HDPE tanks are almost impossible to put sealer on that will stick and seal things up. Your best bet is to drop the tank and put a bolt with a couple of rubber sealing washers in it and then use a good fuel resistant sealer on top of that.

Check with Dave Walker at Walker Truck Parts in Hesperia, Ca and buy one of his solenoid repair kits. It sounds like the solenoid disc has spot welded itself together.

Almost any radio manual you might need is already available on the RadioNerds site. There's a link to it in this forum. I've been sending ,pdf manuals to Chris for years now and know he has significantly more available than the ones shown on the website. If you don't see what your looking for...

They're so easy to fix unless it's burnt just take it apart, clean it up, blow it out and replace the brushes and regulator. I'd much rather spend $200 than $600. $400 buys a lot of beer!

View attachment TM9-2920-225-34 Alternator Repair.pdf There are 2 styles of 60 amp alternators both of which are supplied by Southern Automotive. The Leece-Neville 60 amp alternators have a regulator that looks like a bullseye when viewed from the back side. The Prestolite 60 amp alternator...

I always use a small phillips head screwdriver when adjusting the regulators because they tend to self center in the potentiometer. Remember to disconnect the batteries before you start working around the alternator. The power lead from the battery to the 60A alternator is an 8 gauge wire and...

If you have a clicking sound that you think is coming from the driveline my advice would be to immediately stop driving it until you find the problem. You do not want a drive shaft or axle shaft coming loose on you at speed! The axles have a nasty habit of coming loose at the brake rotors...

Nice application of an airlift bumper to the front. That might actually save you from hood bashing!
