Where do you work at now Tom? R2800's must be nice to listen to every day.

The -10 manual for the CUCV trucks tells you what lights up when you turn on the key. Some trucks have had the seat belt buzzer removed, broken or just missing. The dome light is only activated by the head light switch knob twisting counter clockwise. The only dome light is the one under the...

I have been talked into using both running Dueces to haul people between the airport and the fairgrounds this weekend. The powers that be in the city want to do an Armed forces day fly over, flag ceremony and taps at the airport. Meanwhile, the county fair is going on 2 miles away. No parking...

I got my Gasser M35's in 2006. Spent most of 2007 and 2008 building one solid good truck out of 2-1/2 trucks. The frame and all body work except the hood and bed were all done by May 2008. I found a straight rust free hood in February 2009. Thanks Warthog. I had to sand and paint it. By...

The bouncing needle is almost always a result of a bad cable or bent cable housing. LMC has brand new 1984 K5 blazer cables for not much money. 2 tie down bolts, a clip behind the dash, the screw at the transfer case and a single firewall grommet push through are all that are involved in the...

Yes, It sure seems like an alternator issue.

Pull it apart, clean with a lint free rag, put it back on, repeat until it doesn't leak any more. It could take a while.

The red wire on the plug you pulled off is what carries the voltage back to the battery. The brown wire is the exciter wire. Put a volt meter probe on that red wire at the plug with the engine running and everything plugged in. If it is 14.4 there, making sure you ground the volt meter to the...

WOW! I got the call on the 1028 problems and just figured the rest of the trip was simple. I am kind of glad you didn't call me at 0330, but also feel bad I couldn't help now that I have read the rest of the story. Where did you buy your fuel Sam? Just so I will know where not to stop.

Thanks for bringing the paint and parts Joe.

Rear main, pan gasket, valve covers or very doubtfull, the vacuum pump seal are about all there are to leak out the back.

Once you read the manual as suggested above. You will find that past F is normally what happens when there is no ground or a break in the wire going to the back. E is normally no power to the gauge itself or a grounded sender wire. Many threads have been made about this.

I put one of the "drill a hole, screw in hollow bolt and then screw in drain plug" B&M kits a year or so ago. Make sure you have the white washer on the inside and that you tighten it up real tight. Sure is easy to change fluid now.

Follow the advice in the post above. The needle on the volt meter should be near the little hash mark in the middle of the green section when running. If yours is on the line between yellow and green, but more in the yellow than green area, you don't have both alternators working. As pointed...

Glad you posted that. I still haven't found a blank adaptor for Colton's AR yet. I will have to get on that.

Good find on the new front seats. Yes, I will be at Temple. My 396 threw a rod a month or so ago. So it will just be the M35A2 for showing and camping in. Come on up and stay or at least visit.

Glad to hear you might have finally found your version of the holy grail. Cool.

There has been a 1008 off US90 off and on in Sabinal for about 6 years now. It is probably that one since the town has like 4 houses. New paint job though. I drive through there every year or two. I would be very suspicious of the 24-12 conversion wiring. You are probably going to be...

Check out the plug and switch on the top of the column up under the dash next Sam.

A lot of us or close to Cedar Park. The montly meeting was just last week, but come on out to Camp Mabry next month and you will meet about dozen members of this forum and see all kinds of vehicles. Lone Star MVPA - Welcome! Or, come join is in Temple a week or so from now at the air show.
