    k5 hydroboost unit

    Glad you found where it's coming from. Sounds like a mess. I have kits for those but being a civi and a 87 I'm not sure about sizes. I have one good booster that I'd have to dig out to see what the output piston size is though. I've seen several diameters of those. The input shaft length is...

    Seems like this is turning into a build thread.

    Oh ok didn't know you put new springs on already. If it's real bad I'd do air bags and call it quits. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Curious what your rear ride height is now. I had to do rear springs on one of mine after adding about 500 lbs to the rear. The other one has no top and bounces like a basketball going down the road. The one I put springs on sits right at 36 inches ground to wheel well. It rides perfectly with no...

    k5 hydroboost unit

    Ok so it's leaking so bad you can't tell where it's from. Fluid under the hood. The booster shouldn't leak unless the brake pedal is being pressed. Fluid flows through the booster freely with no pedal applied. If it doesn't leak in park with no pedal it points to the output piston seal in the...

    k5 hydroboost unit

    Just gotta ask what do you mean by leaking. Power steering fluid drives the booster, can leak inside the cab at your feet or in between the master and booster. There's the hoses and power steering pump. Does it get low on power steering fluid you have to fill up every day? If you can't find a...

    M1009 whines and will not turn over

    My guess is you have more than one problem. It should not shut off when it's cold...the IP has a cold up idle circuit that should work. I have one that works very well and 2 that don't. I never looked into why as they all run and stay running when first started. I'd like to point to a low...

    Wait light suddenly stopped working

    Just saw this. I did a momentary push switch in the cig lighter. Hook to the second wire to get glows. The third does the wait light. I took this out of a 1008 cab I have, and it was wired to the third wire...I did the same, but it did not turn on the relay but it did turn on the wait light..so...

    Glow plug controller malfunction

    How long are you holding them on? Cold start with 10 to 15 seconds should be enough at that temp. Could be you do have some glows that are not working. With that relay goin nuts who knows how often they turn on or for how long without you knowing it. Have you checked the fuel filter yet? or...

    Aux fuel tank and setup

    Makes sense to need something to off load the tank out of the truck when you get there. Possibly a winch mounted in the bed and a ramp? ...a long ramp with those loading rollers that package systems use? Tank full shouldn't weigh much more than a thousand. Could make a tank mount similar to...

    Seems like this is turning into a build thread.

    That's a really nice looking bumper!! I will look them up and see if they do a kit style that needs welded together. Be nice to get it without the d ring mounts could pop holes in it and use the stock ones, but that's just me. Glad you're getting it done. The towing plug you disconnected has...

    Aux fuel tank and setup

    That is a nice setup! Do you have a LMTV to pull it with? I thought those trailers had some form of air brakes? Not sure. That fuel tank looks like a 200 gallon? I'd hook straps to it or mount it to a metal pallet so you can pop it in the bed of the truck you're going to pull it with. Did...

    TH400 kits for rebuilt / overhaul

    Typically I go for a bushing kit added on to the regular steels seals and friction...you don't need any stages or upgrades for this truck. That being said I do usually get the red line friction with the kolene steels...doesn't cost much more for them....for me it's just preference. I wouldn't...

    Replacement radiator?

    That's great! Finally found that thread. I use a hydraulic shop for my weird fittings most of the time. You won't find that at any hardware store. Google one in your area. If they don't then they have outlets that will. Online you'd have to search that thread in unf I think. Sent from my...

    Replacement radiator?

    Ok I'd look for a metric 1.5 thread by 12..14ish?? If the 3/8 is loose it's probably metric. The 16 thread is very close. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Replacement radiator?

    Oh, ok! I see in the Amazon add the heater core port has a bolt in it? Or is it just a plastic cap? I'd bet it's a half inch unf thread. The port for the sensor is probably 1/8 inch unf. The adapters are out there on Google, plus I use a hydraulic shop for this stuff in the past, too. Sent...

    CUCV Battery Recommendations

    I use the 6tl in all mine. I found different availability depending on where you live though. I'm not far from a decent military base and found a interstate battery dealer that has pallets of them in stock all the time. Right at 400 a pair. The post mounts for the battery hold down can be moved...
