Need help guys. My 1043 stalled out while sitting at a red light yesterday. I got it to crank back after trying for a few minutes. Today I got it to crank in a garage and it stayed running for about 30 seconds and did the same thing. Fuel is at 1/2 tank. So I went looking for electrical...

Almost there, I did the rough install this evening. I’m having a few issues getting the main power wires from the battery though. I tried to take the wire around the windshield and down the B-Pillar, but it sticks out quite a bit since it has to go around the seat belt module

it's all good thanks for the "heads up" (lol see what I did there). It's going to be central mounted. It will drop down, but not quite the width of the windshield frame. Think overhead console location with reading lights. 3 1/8 x 18 x 3 7/8

I’ll have pictures up soon. I’ve had to wait for the toggle switches. I ordered them from amazon, I should have looked to see that they were shipping from China It is made out of aluminum except for the latches I’m putting on the sides for access.

Is there a gray carc? I think I’ve talked myself out of 383 green, and want a dark battleship gray. What is a paint line I can use that will spray over the carc after sanding and prep? I tried to post this question earlier and it didn’t post.

I couldn’t find a console I liked so I fab something up in the shop and 3D printed a few switch plates. It need a lot of finish work but the overall layout is compact while allowing enough room for wiring, and some cabin lights. My next step is to fab up a bracket to hold my rear view camera.

7/16 -20, Thank you!!

I'm hoping someone on here might answer my question of the day. Does anyone have a size on the 10" bolt for the alternator bracket? Unfortunately, mine decided to disappear during an outing tonight which caused it to drop the 1/8 inch into my fuel line and cut it in half. On the positive...

I’m one that likes to see if it can be repaired before I jump on buying new. Someone messing around with my switch didn’t know to unlock first. Now the light switch does not engage. Has anyone ever repaired theirs? Or just spend the $75 and order from fleabay.

I'm sending you a PM

Thank you for that offer tobash. Black Dog customs had a kit that wasn’t much more than a replacement belt. If you know if anyone that might be needing a Red Dot, I’m going to sell this one cheap. I really don’t want to box this thing up and put it on shelf if someone could use it. I’m...

I Have the new engine in and now just working on the fit and finish to get her ready to crank. My original engine had the AC compressor and Belt to match. I do not want to put the red dot back on since I will be driving with no/cage doors most of the time. I've read that there is a kit for...

The backstory is the simplest. Intake mushroom cap was removed and the truck sat from 2012 to last month, open to collect water. The water filled up and crossed over the air horn and down the intake. The good thing is I like a challenge, the bad thing is I run out of band-aids and curse...

Don't know if anyone has seen worse, but here was my find today. Some of the pictures are after I shopvac'ed the cylinders..:doh:. That is two words I never thought I would say in the same sentence. Now for the soak and hope it breaks free.
