I replaced my vacuum pump last year with a re-manufactured Cardone #64-1008 and it is still working well. I believe it is for a ford engine but it is the same pump on a different pump drive. Just remove the screws that hold the pump onto the ford drive, attach it to your drive and discard the...

Keep your eyes open on face book and craigslist and be patient. I was just mulling over the idea of getting a deuce but most were too far away on too much of a project. I hit "all craigslist" one day and the first listing was one in Clay city about 30 minutes from my house. Awesome truck and...

I had the same issue with my m1009. Gen 1 lamp just barely glowing with fan on, I could only see it at night. A few days later the Gen1 lamp came on bright and stayed on. I found the fusible link burned for Gen 1 and it looked like it had been slowly roasting for some time. Gen 2 fusible link...

Here's an old joke I don't get to use very often...Why do British people like warm beer? Their refrigerators are made by Lucas!

I bench tested for a moment in a tub of water to get a baseline amperage reading. What I meant by 24 hr test was after I installed the heater, filled the cooling system, ran the engine until warm, allowed to cool, topped off coolant and then plugged it in.

I did test the last one but it didn't pass the 24 hr test

That stinks! I really don't like to get glycol on me. How can something be sticky and slimly at the same time?

Was it a 1000 watt Phillips? Did you install it at 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock position?

Has anyone installed a phillips temro 1000watt block heater in their 6.2 engine? I put one in my m1008 last year and never used it. Installed one in my M1009 last month and it failed right away. I then checked the one in my m1008 and it was open (infinite resistance) also. I requested and...

Adjusted all brake shoes, topped of master cylinder. Replaced flasher unit, and seat belts. Replaced wiper blades, and cleaned air compressor filter.

Yes. Retired and had the big C. He bought it for a bug out truck.

I thought so myself. He originally wanted $7,500.00 but since he top was rotten he he dropped it to $6,000.00. I still haven't sewn my wallet pocket back on, I'm not sure there is enough fabric left.

So as not to offend the English majors in the group, I believe that should be phrased "So what do the daughters say about it?" They say "My Dad is @#%$ing awesome!!" The only question I ever got right in English class was when I was asked to give an example of two pronouns and I replied "Who Me?"

That is one of the two questions I get from everyone it show it to. The answer is $6,000.00 US. The other question is "What are you going to do with that?"

It helps if you have a sewing machine capable of sewing a Cochran to a truck tire!
