    1986 M1008 no left front turn signal

    Didn't even think of that, I've got a parts truck with good plugs on it that I can take em off and wire it up and see if it fixes it

I was working the other day but now just the drivers front one dosent work, the drivers rear still works fine and doesn't even blink fast. But I put a new bulb in it and cleaned the grounds arround it but I'm at a loss. And the...

    14 bolt woes

    Thanks guys I fixed it today, the threads in two of the holes just were chewed up and I really didn't want to pull the hub off because I just put new bearings and races and a oil seal in it and didn't feel like tearing her apart again. But I just ran a tap through them a couple of times and...

    14 bolt woes

    2 of the 8 bolts that hold the end of my axle shaft to my hub are striped, my question is can I drive it to my friend who's a mechanist so he can tap the threads? I have 6 of the 8 bolts in, and will gear oil leak out of my rear or not? Thank you

    Gen 1 light comes on with rpm

    I got a cucv alternator fromrare electric off eBay and I don't think it's overcharging because the voltage gauge is in the high yellow range and my belt isn't slipping. If its the alternator that's bad I'll be mad, it doesn't even have 100 miles on it!

    Trans Morning sickness

    I personally would swap in a 700 if my 400 ever goes just to have the overdrive, you'd need to find a civvy truck that had the 6.2 and the 700 to get the tv cable bracket and such. And I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure the 700 is longer so you'd need a different rear driveshaft, the front...

    What's a good price for a 205?

    I'd be sure it's a 205, I've never seen a k5 with one, I thought it was a one ton thing. Even my buddies 86 k20 has a 208

    M1008 electrical gremlins

    It was the front battery that was dead. Glow plug setup is stock and it has the original 24v system. I'm pretty sure though that the drive side alternator took a crap, I'm going to replace it with a oem isolated ground alternator and see if that fixes things. Thanks for the help and I have the...
