I haven't ordered it yet. I am trying to decide on what else to buy to go over the $1000 mark, then the freight is free. It's not a great plan. When I get it done, I will update on fit and finish.

I just spoke with a friend who said he was able to remove the bumper from his truck. Broke every bolt doing it. I guess that's the plan. I will try to save them, but be prepared to replace the bolts.

Bart, Thanks! That helps a lot. Screwing up bolts on a new endgate would have been the beginning of the end. I have a friend who deals in rubber parts and I will see what we can put together. I messed with those torque rods before and it was a near disaster. I will try removing the bumper for...

I have torque rods installed in my current endgate. The TM lists the plastic bushings, or spacers, as rubber round sections. Mine are in poor condition. I am considering buying a new endgate from LMC. Those bushings don't seem to be available. Do I need to install the torque rods and make due...

The vent is shown in manual -34p, pages 206 and 207, #4, part # 8640496. Troubleshooting transfer case/ excessive fluid loss: manual -34, page 54, Step 1: Check for loose transfer case housing bolts. Step 2: Check to see if transfer case vent is plugged or restricted. Step 3: Disassemble...

A few GM parts places seem to have it, but you get this, or a variation shortly after ordering, "The status of your order has changed and we wanted to keep you up to date. Thank you for your recent order. Part # 14018671 is no longer available through GM. We have searched our other GM sources...

I am preparing to change the speedometer cable, grommet, and hopefully, the seal (part#14018671) in my M1009. I cannot find the seal anywhere. No one seems to have the GM or ACDelco part in stock. Most places say out of stock, or call for availability. I haven't had any luck calling, or...

I am a few weeks work behind in updates. Billman and I made a license plate holder and put the plates on, did some more sanding and painting, replaced the turn signal flasher, installed inexpensive seat covers, mount an inexpensive fan, replaced the transmission mount and modulator, and changed...

I have one cellphone picture of the spray paint handiwork. I haven't gotten to the roof yet. It needs the most work, and I am building up to it. I should get around to washing the windows as well.

I just cleaned up after another day working on the truck. Billman and I change the lift pump on the truck. I hope I am never involved in any way with another one of those things. We cleaned the IP return line, which was without ball and pretty clean anyway. Then we mixed up some epoxy and...

The other truck is owned by Billman. My truck is in his garage. The SF97 arrived today, June 22. The charge was processed on June 8. It took less than a month start to finish. Not too bad. Title and historic tags are in the works. A local company does all the leg work for a small fee. I will be...

I think the biggest issue to acquiring a deuce and a half is whether we can get it in a garage. How tall are those things? Edit- Found the answer. 112" tall. It isn't going to fit.

The disease is spreading quickly (because we obviously didn't have enough to do already)... but that is for another thread.

I had another full day working on the truck yesterday. The truck had sat without the right side inner fender for two weeks while I tried to find a replacement. I think a leaking battery had eaten away at it. Without the fender I had no batteries and was unable to test the other maintenance...

We got after it again late last night. We installed a 12 volt outlet in the stock location, fixed the transmission linkage, replaced the glow plug controller, relay and the plugs, changed out the battery cables, changed the transmission fluid and filter, and the fluid in both differentials. We...

I don't know as I could ever read bumper numbers, but here is what I have come up with (I could very well be wrong)- Left side 1AE-158 I BDE-1st Armored Division East, 158 Infantry Brigade Right side 2-350 LSB62- 2nd Battalion 350 Regiment Logistical Support Branch, Truck 62 From what I...

I have a stupid question, but I have to ask- Does the truck start as it sits now? I understand that the controller can be bypassed, so is that why it isn't there, or does the truck not start and you are troubleshooting?

I am going to say glow plug module. Page 860 of the TM 9-2320-289-20.

I am shooting for a trip over in the truck near the end of summer. I tried to get the antenna mount and its brush guard off for you, but failed. The top right retaining nut is spinning in the fender, and it is hidden behind the brush guard. I think I will need some guidance with this one.

Billman and I put in several hours last night working on the truck, braving the thunderstorms and tornado warnings. Positives- We mounted the tailgate, rear view mirror, brake pedal pad, removed the inner fender, changed the oil, installed the doghead recommended starter relay, mounted the...
