    need help locating alternator pulley for fmtv m1088

    0.875" is standard heavy duty 7/8" alternator shaft diameter. Numerous different ones easily available with various belt types, offset, diameter, etc.... There is a balancing act on higher output alternators, because you want them to spin fast to charge at idle, yet with a smaller alternator...

    Thanks. Woodward Avenue in August, slightly North of Detroit. Woodward is the first paved mile of road in the US. This event now draws the largest number of automobiles annually of any single event in the world. Over 40,000 vehicles and +1.5 million spectators.

    Home brew hard top

    Hats off to somebody doing that much cab work, but I do like the look of post #11 as a favorite. Back seat without 4 door, all of it, perfect.

    939A1 Power Steering Bleed?

    ^This^. You may have something going on with your steering gear, causing the pump to pressurize the fluid continuously rather than as needed. This will over-temp the fluid, causing the fluid to expand, soft hoses to burst, etc.... Should not really have to bleed a pressurized recirculating...

    Starter turns when key out of ignition

    That relay is fine. Best wishes to the OP, polite of everybody else to stay along and help. Welded starter solenoid contacts can and do happen.

    Starter turns when key out of ignition

    That is a lawn mower relay. OK to use if not carrying more than starter solenoid current.

    Home brew hard top

    I bought a thick aluminum plate to put atop of my 925a2 hard top to support my cab roof air conditioning unit (Red Dot R-9777). Not installed yet, but hope to this spring. Same concept you are thinking though, a way to create a hard top surface that can bear some weight. As of stock, they are...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    The key slot is just there to confuse you. It is not used. Taper fit to gear. Your thinking is correct, pull gear, back up 8 degrees, re-install, should give you 16 degrees. Can confirm with spill port timing method, easy to do.

    M939 Oil Change, Best Oil, Tips and Tricks

    99, you're really in a hurry to put something other than motor oil in your engine? What does it look like under the fill cap? I only did the ATF trick to silence lifters that had morning sickness, not on a regular basis. If your engine is not sludged, just change the oil.

    5Ton Brush/wildland/fire truck Build

    azkcr, video your attempt at that and post a YouTube link. Make sure your wife says lot's of OMG's and the family dog is running around barking in it.

    Home brew hard top

    Please keep me in if you guys do make a visor, I really like the look also and want one for my 925a2. I've only seen one guy do it so far, and that was a complete cab swap with semi truck doors, all that. Looked beautiful. I'd be lucky just to get the visor.

    5Ton Brush/wildland/fire truck Build

    As thought. Cool. You'll need to drain coolant down to below stat level, so that is at least half of it or more. At that point, drain all, do a Cascade flush, change stat, and refill with new. Good for another 5 years or whatever.

    5Ton Brush/wildland/fire truck Build

    Cool stack !!! Beard of chains isn't too shabby either. I enjoy to see creative ideas. Is your fan spinning when engine temp is say 100F? If not, then it is correct and you'll need a new thermostat. Shutter should not be leaking, take it apart, clean, and lubricate it, try again. So it...

    M939 Oil Change, Best Oil, Tips and Tricks

    I think it has a bunch of bad reviews, all over. So much to the point it is difficult to find in stock anymore? My experience is that it caused a small 4 cylinder of mine to suddenly have a lot of blow by, broken rings, etc....immediately after using it. Also, the can specifically states...
