    M929 "Dump Body Safety Latch": Does it bang upon opening?

    The latch should release smoothly as the bed goes up. Mine does not make any noise going up or down.

    2nd 12v alternator on nhc 250

    I'm adding a second alternator to my M915 so I can get rid of the pos transformer for charging the 24 volt starting batteries. I converted a Delco 10SI I had into an isolated ground and installed a self-exciting regulator so it will not require any connections other the the B+ and B- to the...

    Capacitor question on alternator

    Glad you got it figured out. FYI, operating the alternator with the brush retaining pin installed usually destroys the regulator among other things. You are lucky you had it hooked up wrong and discovered the brush retaining pin first.

    Bumper re-stenciling - which TM?

    When I re-stenciled my trucks, I tried to match the style that was previously on the truck. All of them are different, so I didn't get too concerned with trying to match a specific TM.

    coolant crossover pipe and alternator rectifier post?

    Take the alternator off and remove the rear end casting to tighten the loose bolt. It's easy to do. Depending on which bolt you are talking about, if you try using an impact wrench you may end up breaking the insulator or bolt. Here is the link to my alternator rebuild thread with pictures so...

    Rusty Primer and Behr Paint over existing paint.. to use or not to use?

    I hit the rust with a wire brush and then use Tractor Supply red oxide primer on the rusty areas. I paint over the primer with Behr. No problems with adhesion.

    M939 series radiator tank torque spec.

    Aren't the fasteners bolts with nuts? You can look up the torque spec for the grade and size of bolt and go from there.

    M1010 for my daughter the field biologist

    This is why your daughter would be better off with a new Toyota or similar newer truck. You have had several things break that she probably would not be able to fix in the middle of no where. Even if you don't consider her personal safety, it would be difficult to get this truck fixed in a...
