Ok well I opened an old thread. Thanks for the input gripy. Those who are helpful and know what they are talking about, this is what I found. A useless gov lock. The sleeve that carries the centrifugal weights is cracked along with the gov lock assembly where the sleeve is placed. Quick...

Very informative. Love the video. Just out of curiosity... My M1009 rear locker has become constantly engaged. When I used to make U-turns n such on the highway the rear end would disengage an axle. Suddenly, well after crossing a deep and steep inclined ditch at an angle, my locker won't...

OK. This is where I am. I rewired the gp relay and light to factory wiring. I turn the key on and wait light/relay cycles for what appears to be proper. When I start the truck the wait light flickers (only while running). We got the generator lights working properly and generators charging (gen...

Very good! I will have tms pulled up for my guy. He is a friend and understands dual batterties parallel and series wiring. My IP was rebuilt and is now 12V (prior to my purchasing it) I Believe he will want to redo gp to factory first and start trouble shooting through the tms. I work with him...

Only had mine about 6 weeks! Good call warthog!!! Have not adressed all the electrical issues yet (and I have a lot of it). Hear is an example of how not to do it! No fuse! This one was on a college campus. I didn't realize the kids kept it up!!! I have an automotive wiring guru coming this...

wanted to finish before posting pics but hey, it pertainted to your situation!

It was 70 degrees here the other day. I thinned some behr, sprayed it through my auto gun and it looked great! (Only did partcial to get the paint out of my gun after the brush guard, grill and front baumper are finished) Put it in the garage over night with 500 watt halogens around it. Next...

Mine had a push button when I got it. whoever did it clipped the pink and blue wire on the relay. Then took power from the resistor on the relay and ran it to a push button. from there they ran the next wire from the push button to the Pink wire connectinion. They also grounded the blue wire to...

I overlooked it! hahaha! Yes I know we were talking about the bracket. I wonder if edelbrock does one??? I know they make unusaul brakets like a throttle and kick down/tv cable barcket for installing a carb on newer vortec engines (Gasoline). I have a lot of chevy experiance. All the th400 trans...

I figured... I have a junk yard about 35 miles from me full of 80's model chevys. I have been through there 100 times and don't recall seeing any diesel motors. I am planning a trip up there soon and will be on the look out now. I tell ya a junkyard full of chevys is my heaven. I can get lost...

Thanks cliffyp. Yes that is scondary to a vaccum pump test. Got both in mind. I;m going to try to run a pump test tomorrow. Can't wait to title this thing and DRIVE it. Anxiety is killing me. I get a little closer and have another hiccup! I see you have 700r4 listed. Where did you get a detent...

Next step! Thanks again. Going to tm's to see if I can find what it should read. Don't have one on hand. Hoping autozone has a loaner. Just felt it again there is something there just don't know how much. Big help Ryan! Just knowing the vaccum pump can cause my problems. Maybe I can sleep now...

Thanks Ryan! My pump feels weak I think (having nothing to compare it too). Pulled the line off while engine was running and heard no vaccum. Stuck it to my finger but barely. Just starting to run low on funds for this project after motor, batteries, paint, ect., ect., ect.

Thanks cliffy. If the vaccun pump is a problem wouldn't you still be able to manual shift second? I may be dealing with multiple issues here. I am going to wind up with a 30 y/o new truck if I don't slow down!

Not my first rodeo work on old chevy trucks Just got to get used to the 24 volt system and diesel. I run diesiels in a charter boat but they are old 4-53 detriots. No glow plugs. Just forward and reverse trans. Nothing fancy. very old school.
