With summer being here, I am diving into the task of adding AC to my m1028.
The AC kits around that replace the entire air box and come with all the controls, ducting, vents, lines, and condenser look to be a turn-key option for not a ton of money (currently looking at the classicautoair kit)...
I tried looking up some part numbers for the inverted flare fittings in the brake system, but I cannot find any details about the thread spec or nut size, if the part number even exists.
And the few posts on here I hear reference to 3/16 and 1/4" tube sizes. But the part #s won't tell me...
Can...
I've been going through TM9-2320-289-20P, which has the part numbers for all components, but they don't list bolt/nut specifications (thread count, pitch, length, ect).
Even googling the part number and pulling up random listings for the part don't specify the specific sizes.
I am looking to...
Finally decided to tackle the electrical problem with the windshield washer pump switch.
The pump itself works when I manually ground the pink wire.
I can ground the pink wire near the pump, or near the switch (on the column) and the pump functions.
When I test continuity with a volt meter...
I just bought some universal wiper blades listed by amazon as compatible with 1986 Chevy K30. That was a mistake. Shorter, worse quality, and the passenger side didn't fit at all.
Can anyone recommend some good aftermarket wiper blades that fit?
After a fair amount of highway driving, it is pretty evident that these engines without an intake resonator have a pretty loud drone. I may have been too quick to buy a civilian intake resonator that appeared to attached to our intake housings, but it doesn't look like it?
Im pretty sure the...
Well, I over-torqued the small plastic bleed screw on my FM100 filter housing. It broke the head off the screw and left the threads and what appears to be an internal pot metal valve inside the housing.
Anyone ever encounter this? Easy way to get whats left of the screw out? Where to find...
I've been doing research on how fuel lines are plumbed at the tank and I was wondering what exactly is required for the return line.
Does it need to terminate at the bottom of tank submerged in fuel? Or can it just terminate at the top of the tank in air?
I am installing a new main tank in the...
Does anyone know where I can get the diode circled in the picture?
Does the charging light offer resistance? I hear these GM alternators need about 10 ohm resistance on terminal 1 of the alt wiring, or does it charge at the correct voltage with just 12v feeding it?
* Now that I think about...
New throw out bearing, new pilot bushing, pivot ball is greased, slave cylinder push rod secured against pivot arm.... I guess this noise is just normal?
Maybe louder than normal considering I have no insulation in the truck right now.
Note: AA pivot arm and slave cylinder adapter (for use...
Engine isn't maintaining idle and appears to be missing at times. While driving sometimes it will seem as if the cold advance was turned on and suddenly I have extra power because of the timing change. When at stop lights the truck is vibrating, and it does miss, just one time, nothing too bad...

Before I began this escapade, I read practically every forum and post regarding swapping the NV4500 into the Chevy squarebody trucks. None I found were very comprehensive or straight forward and most were a lot of heresay about what fits and what doesn't. So I want to leave this...
I currently have a dana 70hd that used to be a dually, but the previous owner was just running the inner wheel with a stock m1008 bed.
I don't really want to run dual tires, but I would like to keep the dana 70.
I read that single tire on dually axles can put stress on the bearings and cause...
Been looking around, mostly at delco alternators. Can't find one that would physically fit the bolt pattern. Most of the 10si and 12si are on 6.5" centers, while the original 27si the cucvs came with are on 8 1/4" centers?
Anyone know of any one wire alts that fit the bolt pattern on the 6.2...
Been staring at the wiring diagrams for a little while, what does the relay do? What is the purpose of the 2 pin connector on the back of the alternators?
Took my steering column out for my manual pedal install, and as I was pulling the column further out, the lower bearing popped off and now I am having trouble getting it back on.
Any tips to push this bearing back on?
Yesterday got my entire old pedal assembly out, now I'm looking at the firewall, not sure where to drill the holes for the master cylinder. Supposedly there's an indent for it.
Speedometer cable looks like it might be in the way?
