I have the same radio as you do. How did you interface to your LS 671 speaker. I have a Vic 3 intercom with an older speaker that works fine but I like the look of the LS 671 Thanks Very clean install!

You come out of one of the three crew plugs at the top of the am1780 and there’s a special cable made for the adaptation and the cable is marked “ speaker end “ so it’s going in the right direction. So I just ran one cable to the rear intercom sets and daisy chained to the other rear.

Ah-ha... I have discovered that my stop lights don't come on without pressing the pedal pretty hard. I wonder how long I've been screwing up the people following me when I stop the truck? I feel guilty about that. :oops:

I found the stop light switch adjustment procedure and even the PS Magazine clip that corrects the -20-2 manual, so I'll get right on that this afternoon.

Just about done
Paint
Hard doors
Keyed ignition
Grounding kit
4 man soft top
Linex interior

Before and after

Any one have a good diagram or parts link for the diagonal supports that attach to the c pillar, the soft top has space for them. Trying to figure out their importance and or function ?

replaced the faulty voltage regulator in my truck (200 amp system)
Part took almost 3 weeks to get here from when I ordered it, and Fedex couldn't make up their mind (6 different emails with shipping updates).
A whole 30 minutes after it got here truck was up and running again (and only took that long because I used all hand tools, took my time, and added anti seize and dielectric grease to stuff)

Can't picture any "diagonal supports" for the C pillar...What are you referring to?
The side rails for the soft top?

So, the thought of paying $650 for the fording exhaust pipe is more than I want in o spend. So for a $ 52 piece of pipe and two cans of header paint in flat black I made my own. I’m going to have someone roll me a piece of expanded metal for the guard.

After 3 weeks working on a total rebuild of the drivers side of the engine I am nearly complete. Got it all going perfectly today. All new parts I could find and every bracket sand blasted and repainted with 2 pot ( 4 coats ) . Still trying to get an emissions control sticker to replace stuff I put on new rocker cover and purchased a new Cadillac valve and then spilt cleaner on the sticker, really pissed me off so stuck GM sticker on it to make me happy in the meantime while I either track down a new sticker or another valve...drivin for perfection

I thought you could only replace the regulators on the 60 amp versions? Sounds like it was an easy job. How much was the part?

60 amp is bolted to the back of the assembly, not a separate assembly (and a heck of a lot cheaper to replace)

TrailworthyFab sells them for about $260 shipped for a used one. Looking around, new ones are in the $500+ range.
On the 200 amp the regulator is external to the generator, just a big box bolted to the top of it.

@Coug Ah, ok. The 200a is easier to replace but more costly. Still, $500 has to be less expensive than replacing the whole thing.

Yup, very true. I assume that's why more people with older trucks don't do the upgrade.
Not that very many of us in the civilian world really NEED 5kw of electrical generation, but occasionally it's nice (like the 1kw inverter in my BEOD that I can run power tools off of)

Mine did the same thing when I got it. I only found out because my wife followed me one day. It is a pretty easy adjustment, just a lot easier with a second set of eyes so you can adjust and test till it works as you want.

FINALLY got the fan clutch fixed....what misery. I've had the three radiator stack off and on FOUR times...... Antifreeze, engine oil, ATF..
Bought a rebuilt fan clutch....it leaked...:mad:.....
Sent it back for a refund and bought a new one from KASCAR and WOW.... It works and no leaks.. WOOHOO.
If I never take the radiator stack off again it will be too soon.

I got it done. I didn't have extra eyes so I connected my multi-meter to the switch and just listened for the "beep" when I pressed the pedal.
