I have one of the 73-87 truck a pillar pods in the Cowdog. I like it.

I want pictures of it too. Colton keeps asking me for more. However, tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo. Which for most of the world means a foreign country holiday. To the 200 some students at my school it is a racial/gang/power thing. We have had lots of riot type events happen around this time of...

OK, so you did not make the CS130 alternators isolated ground? I thought in one of your other threads you had. That being the case things get easier. If the alternators are next to each other, you only need to have factory wiring to the truck for one of them. This thread is about a Duramax...

I bit the bullet or actually, my credit card did and bought a Compushift II transmission control module. I got most of it wired up last week. Yesterday I started adding transmission fluid to the 4L80E. 2 gallons was all I could carry in for the 3/4 mile walk from the parking lot to my room...

Since most of your wiring system is all experimental. Why don't you just go all the way and make it totally experimental? I think your truck is still a 12 volt truck with 24 volt starting? If so, then since you have isolated ground alternator. Do without the alternator indicator lights...

It is a new month so I can buy more parts. A/C compressor on the way. The wiper washer was not working because I am an idiot. The entire wiper control system works off the switch controlling the ground. Not the power to the motor. The power plugs directly to the motor. The switch on the...

Of course you could also just wait for the next Rednecks with Paychecks in Gainesville.

We had a M715 gathering in Gilmer back in 2005 at the same time the North Texas IH Scout club had a gathering at this place: http://www.barnwellmountainra.com/ One of our group brought a M35 and he did most of the trails just fine. Give them a call before you show up and they might have some...

The adjusters are just plastic plugs that snap into a square hole and have threads in the middle. CUCV drivers side is easy. Pull the headlight surround, unscrew the adjuster, look in there and pop out the old plastic part. You can reach in from behind to catch it. Either install new ones or...

Then more lube. If you can get one end after you have strapped it oblong, into the tire. An engine hoist sitting on top of the tire and hooked to the bottom end of the run flat might help you get it all the way in. Just be careful. That is a lot of stored up energy in those smooshed run...

Badger Diesel is nice to work with in my experience. The Stanadyne guy in Bryan is a gear head. He drives a 6.2 truck daily and was adamant the last time we talked that 5-8 years is all an IP is good for. Sitting or running. Of course he makes his living rebuilding them so of course he will...

Chris, isn't Kentucky like 12 miles from your house? You are really going far this time.

I have a Banks intake cap on my M1007 project. It is between the passenger headlight and the Slave port mount.

Glad you have it going again. I have found 3 or 4 tanks of good fuel and lots of driving helps clear up the not wanting to wake up all the way long sitting engines. White oily smoke is normally an indicator for a cold cylinder. How are your glow plugs? White puff ball smoke is coolant and...

Is that $720 a new pump with no exchange? Even then, it is kind of high. My local guy wants $500 to rebuild one I bring him. So do all the other Stanadyne places within 200 miles of me.

Yes, I have been told that by Stanadyne people as well. They have a shelf life like a loaf of bread. A fresh rebuild is better. A 4911 that is wrapped in plastic sitting on a shelf waiting to sell for $50,000 the last 8 years is basically worthless as a runner. It will need rebuilding...

It has to be from the side? GM has cutouts in the front valence for a cold air intake already. Actually they are there on both sides of the radiator. Sticking with your cone filter, you could build a box around it with the opening at the valence. GM and Banks both had air intake "caps" that...

Here is a good article about what all the different IP numbers mean: http://www.thedieselpageforums.com/tdpforum/archive/index.php/t-6775.html That basically talks about the mechanical pump people think will make their 6.5 run like a brand new electronic Cummins. Even though it won't. Here...

Check all that is listed above. But another good idea is to run a ground wire from one of the holes on the wiper body to the fender or any place you want on the truck body. The wiper ground strap design is pretty cheap.

I thought the same thing about the mistress. Never forget the internet is forever. Sounds like a great recovery. The above advice about MV's being herd animals is very correct. You need a trailer to go with it now. Plus a parts truck. Maybe a bigger truck to flat tow it, etc...
