The long number is on the drivers side rear of the block. Below the oil pressure sender and on top of the area where the transmission bolts in. I don't want to call it a bell housing, because it isn't but that little shelf is where the number is. Basically, find the oil psi sender and look...

Three weeks later and all kinds of progress. Door striker bolts replaced and all doors operate super smooth, easy and almost new car like. All power lock solenoids tested and installed. All power window motors tested, cleaned, lubed and installed with lubed up arms. Insulation added to the...

Rich, The tire tool turned winches pretty much all trucks and SUV's have used the last 20 years for spare storage would be perfect for your lay down tire mount. Light, simple and available in just about every junk your for cheap.

I can't make it either Mark. Colton is a senior this year which means one more fall of traveling with the band. I get to go to Sequin in two days and am just overjoyed about it. The Mullins weekend has a game on Friday, a marching contest on Saturday and I will try to sleep on Sunday.

Welcome to the fun. There is a tab at the top of the page called Technical Manuals. The one ending in -10 is a super informative version of a civilian vehicle owners manual. The -20 is an amazing troubleshooter and instructs you on how to do most light maintenance yourself. If you have...

Most of your questions have been answered in detail. Someone posted a wise phrase long ago that I always keep in mind when dealing with MV's. "Never forget that the original owner with a budget in the trillions sold the truck because they couldn't afford to keep doing maintenance on it." I...

I got the one from LMC for the 6.2. Fit perfect. Be aware that you will probably break the fuel tank straps when you go to lower the tank. I also had most of the pintle hook bolts break or be so corroded I didn't want to put them back on. I would suggest ordering a pair of tank straps when...

The "angled" heads are only different in the angle of the intake manifold bolts. Some of the angle heads are GM cast and others are GEP Navistar cast. Supposedly the Navistar heads are a different mix of alloys and are better. Without a a turbo it is just piece of mind which head you use. If...

I have one of those swivel steps on my Whistler M35A2. I really, really wanted it. Once it got it, I don't use it and if I do, I feel like I am going to fall. I did find it works great to set a water cooler on when in the up position. That is what I use it for now. When I did the 396 big...

O'Reilly's has some black plastic ones. So does Harbor Freight of course too. I already needed 18 of them to secure the power lock/power window umbilical wire covers for each of the doors. Now I will just get 7 more. Thanks for the help everyone. Progress wise the drivers side doors are now...

I will check out that primer. Thanks. I took a picture of the badge mount hole plug on my M1009 last night. It looks basically like a plastic pop rivet. I had it in my head they were just push in things. Anyway, a search for plastic pop rivets brings back several different types of things I...

We have a new school schedule starting this week. One of those alternating day things. I have students all day, but only see the same students every other day. Yesterday I had a student scuff one of the handles up and tomorrow I will get him to shoot some 383 from a spray can on it. I will...

No. I will try to remember and get a picture of the things in one of my M1009 trucks.

I must have just missed you here then Rich. I started working here 22 years ago today. The rivets would work. I will keep looking for a while for the plastic things. The look just like the inserts put into drywall for screws to thread into. Except they are a clear/yellowish plastic. I put...

We are actually a year round school. I teach 14-19 year old convicted juvenile criminals for the State of Texas. Since the state only pays for teaching kids 183 days a year. They have to work in a few days of no class every so often. The last two weeks were our "summer break." That is why I...

No, there are some plastic pieces that fit in those holes. I just can't seem to find the name or a source for them. they just go in the holes that the badges are supposed to go in. We started school back today. My students over and over walked into class, stopped as they saw the Cowdog and...

I already stated that the fenders and hood would be done later for several reasons. However, I got home from work today and it was raining and 73°. Almost cold around this time of year here. So I pulled the fenders out of the horse barn and ground off all the bolts that had spinning captured...

I am A&M Corps of Cadets class of '90. My dad was 59 and his dad was '32. Jennifer was a non reg class of '93 and her dad was Corps class of '68. We have a bit of family history there next to the Brazos. I owned a classic car restoration/ used car lot in Snook for a number years as well. We...

Rich, come on over. We are taking Colton to do a look at A&M Friday. The Cowdog will go back to my class Thursday. The GEP is there as well. No visitation though. I can only share pictures until it all comes home again. I do hope to have the Cowdog done for the rally next March. If I can sell...

I only scratched the day old paint 10 or 15 times getting the passenger quarter panel glass in this morning. Maybe I will do better on the drivers side. Oh well, they won't be the last scratches this truck gets. One of the reasons for going 383. I plan to use the truck, not sit and stare at it...
