With the engine off, the hydroboost is just a metal rod connecting your foot to the master. Try the brakes without the engine running. You will have to push the pedal at least 3 times to get the "reserve" boost pressure used up. But, if the problem still happens after that. It isn't the...

Thank you very much for posting this. Here is the exact link for anyone needing one. https://www.carolinaclassictrucks.com/78-87-GM-FS-Truck-Prop-Valve.html

Is the engine by chance a HMMWV pull out? Those engines have a different throttle cable bracket on the engine. I think the bend the arm idea is your best fix for now though.

To bash, nobody said you couldn't make it work if you threw enough time and money at it. They were merely pointing out the differences between a side mount turbo and a center mount turbo. which is heads, block, exhaust system, turbo and intake. The IP should be ok either way. I have spent the...

The down pipe going through the inner fender and down the outside of the frame is pretty much common practice when fitting the 6.5 turbo to a square body. There re are people that have made the down pipe fit inside the frame but a body lift is usually needed. Along with some floor insulation.

To continue the bumper with a few notes. The truck frame is straight. The suburban frame turns down after the rear cross member. The truck cross member is notched a good bit at both frame rails. The suburban frame has enough room to slide a few wires between the cross member and the frame...

I will continue the bumper saga tonight. I am going to use R-134A with the blue 1989 Ford orifice tube. I still have some R-12 left, but this would make my 3rd vehicle running it and just a few tear downs would drain my supply. When I went to do the leak down test yesterday I put R-134A...

Oil in the CDR tubing is normal. Did you by chance have that hooked directly to the intake without the CDR valve? What about the throttle return spring on the throttle mechanism? Otherwise, the advice you got of the IP being bad is pretty much the only source of fuel left to cause the engine...

I am just going to call it a truck bumper instead of writing M1008, M1028, M1031 CUCV bumper. Let me cover the M1009 bumper first real fast. The suburban frame is just the right width to allow a M1009 bumper without modification to fit right up. However, the suburban frame has 3 bolt holes per...

I thought that bumper was going to kick my butt pulling the fuel tank off. I had put it together in this order: Receiver hitch, bumper brackets, fuel tank, fuel tank skid plate, bumper, pintle hook. With the truck up on the lift, way up on the lift actually. I was able to snake an open end...

Somewhere in this thread I stated that I wanted to pick the truck up as little as possible and still run 35 x 12.50 tires. I also didn't want to cut the entire front fenders off to fit the tires. I really like the way my M1009's ride down the road. Firm suspensions seem to be my thing. M35's...

The exciter wires go to the relays under the dash. The diagnostic wire goes to the STC/ICE port as Rich said.

I think 5 M35 trucks is the most we have had in the past. My whistler M35A2 will not make it this year. We went to fire it up the other day and everything was dead. Power to and through the switch on the dash, but nothing working. We hot wired the starter to fire it up and move, but nothing...

I tried to follow along, but got lost with the different red wires. Could you take a picture of what you have in the truck now?

I'm glad you are getting this going again after all the unexpected troubles Rich. That is neat how they are going to just build a new part instead of welding the old part back on.

I was a very good hurdle runner in high school and even ran in college some. This build is just a really long hurdle race. Now that I have a transmission that should be ready to go. I have to get a controller. They are not cheap. There are 5 or 6 stand alone transmission control units out...

-6 AN seems to be the size B&M make all of their coolers. That is what size I was planning to go.

I need to do the AN fitting thing too. It seems the transmission case is straight threads, not NPT tapered. So if you replace the fittings on the case, be aware. I was going to do the stock TH400 metal lines to the front then add a cooler to the return from the radiator. Then I got to...

Rich, The adaptor the line screws to has to have some tubing inside the transmission. Here is a thread from another forum with pictures and everything: http://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/gm-drivetrain-suspension-22/4l80e-conversion-premature-failure-beware-rear-cooler-line-fitting-492487/...
