An easier way to check the front hubs is this: Crawl under the truck and turn the front drive shaft while looking at the front axle hub u-joints. They will both start to spin and then only one will spin as you keep turning. If you can't turn the shaft with the t-case in 2hi, then you have...

There has in the past been at least one burger/hot dog vendor at the show. I think a few years ago there were two. I have found bringing snacks and $5.00 to work. I was just looking at my Whisperlite stove a few minutes ago and pondering a MountianHouse meal for the show. I think the...

Compared to the truck, a/c is easy. Power to the switch in the cab. Power from the switch to the fan with different voltages for different fan speeds. Then you have a second knob that controls the temperature. When it is on, power will go from it to the compressor. Thats it. I don't...

Is the lift pump the $50.00 Delco or one of the $20 things the local stores sell? If it isn't the Delco, that probably is your problem. Even the Delco versions aren't bullet proof though. Just bullet resistant compared to the others.

I know none of us would ever think about using a hand throttle while going down the highway. It has already been pointed out above why that shouldn't be done. However, if one were to drive a M35A2 with the hand throttle to hold speed. They wold find it works really well on flat and hills...

Mark, Just drive your Super Duty. There will be plenty of extra seats for the ride over to BMJP.

Warthog is correct, I am about 60 miles from you. I would love to help you get things figured out. My only problem is time available. My son Colton is in band, track, academic UIL competitions and Scouts. I am the local Scoutmaster. This coming week and weekend I have no time. PM me and...

I can't believe I had a chance to help somebody and wasn't able to. Fuzzy left me a voice mail during my Scout meeting. I couldn't get to it until the meeting was over. Almost as soon as I listened to the voice mail Jeepsinker called. He was just 20 minutes away in the freezing rain. I...

I have 3 square bodies currently and have owned many in the past. Figure 3/4 indicated as about 1/2 tank actual and 1/2 tank indicated as about 1/4 tank actual. I normally get real nervous about finding fuel as soon as I get to 1/2 tank indicated because it drops fast from that point on.

I had the exact same thing happen to a rebuilt 27MT. It had a new solenoid too. It wasn't a Delco though and it stuck on. Just like with the lift pumps. If it isn't a Delco or US made, it probably isn't worth putting on your truck.

There could also be nothing wrong. A normal functioning CUCV glow plug/cold advance/fast idle system works off the two sensors at the back of the engine. The fast idle/cold advance sensor on the outside of the passenger rear head sends power to those two solenoids when it senses the coolant...

I have 3 of the sets ups Chris is selling. Great stuff. However, whatever you end up getting. Check out the filters that fit it, how much they cost and if they are a number carried on the shelf of most auto part stores. Having a non stocked filter that has to be ordered a week in advance...

I have replaced the key cylinder and the ignition switch on my 1984 USAF Suburban. It is still hard to turn when cold. I didn't grease the cog in side the column but will the next time it is apart. Check all three and if nothing says "I am the bad part!", lube everything is my suggestion.

I'm glad you posted that Don. I didn't want to call you out by name unless you knew about it.

I totally agree about parts for the 230. It was cheaper for me to build a high power 396 big block than fix the oil leaks on my 230. I know your reply was not directed totally at me. I am going to reply though by saying that I qualified my suggestions several times as meant for a truck...

I will throw in with BOB on this one too. The stock 230 is a great engine for what the M715 was designed to do. Move 1-1/4 tons of stuff off road at speeds up to 30-45 mph. The truck and the engine are matched very well to do that intended job in a great way. If you were to attempt driving...

Needing the lights on means voltage regulator to me. Same with no charge. The new alternator acting the same means something between the alternator and the rest of the truck is off. Have you checked the contacts for both alternator relays? Along with the relays themselves maybe. Another odd...

Not that I am aware of. The IT people treat everything they do as a secret and don't answer questions most of the time. I always thought it was because they didn't know the answers.

Just to be clear after Joe and Kenny both said it. There is 1 maybe 2 wires that are the same between a civilian full gauge panel and a CUCV panel. Civilian idiot light panels are another totally seperate wiring set up from the gauge panel and CUCV panel. If the big plug for the gauge panel...

i have the a/a button now at work. I didn't change anything on my end. However, it all works good again. Just wanted to put a cap on this thread. Thanks.
