Brake conversion Yes there are electric over hydraulic conversions that tie into the trailer and get juice from your break controller. 3 different systems available, about 750 each type. They bypass the air system and take half a day of work without beer, 2 weekends with.

TACOM banning military vehicles to be sold and reutilized There is a storm brewing as I type this. It appears to have started with agencies getting HUMVEES from surplus and trying to get their titles. Now TACOM is saying that most of the military's vehicle's should never have been sold or...

I am so retarded....i totally forgot it was on the left after 87 or so...now I need read up on all this adapter crap. sorry guys for the brain fart.

this may be a dumb question, but why not just put in a 4l80E with it's factory attached transfer case, like what came out of my 94 3500 4x4...then the only changes are the shifting linkage linke, comptroller addition, drive shaft lengths and the crossmemmer location? This is what I was going to...

I dont want to break another starter housing while cranking at -13 degrees, so I installed a KATS lower radiator hose heater last night, and it only took 30 minutes. Take off the Passanger side alternator (unhook the batteries first) and do a simple install. if y ou want to save time, buy a...

One more thing, it took 4 days for payment to process through paypal, so just pay for it with a credit card. I think it was $125 total from DB. as for long durability, i have no clue. started the truck and went to the bar.

I just got one of these starters put into my 1009 last night, works great except the front support bracket bolt doesn't line up with the bracket. several inches off.

Just an FYI for you all. I had a little truck fire this morning in my 1028. The 1/4 inch steel diesel fuel return line that runs behind the passanger side alternator near the water pump will rub one of your wire terminals if you have too short of an alternator belt and you dont pay attention to...

I have an extra 60G that I bought with my set yesterday. I am going to buy 1 of every GP I can find and do a test as to which one's actually last longer, dont swell, etc. I am looking for input as to what people want to see in a test as such. Not sure how I am going to administer it yet...

Last night I spent another hundred bucks on 9 AC60g's and installed them. Rather than cut the original terminals off for the differense in terminal size, I made some simple adapters for the 1/4 inch GP terminal that goes to the 3/16 inch female connector. took ten minutes and I had 8 of them...

If you can find one cheap enough, try a 4L80E transmission instead. It is basically a 400 with overdrive. I have had too many issues with a 700r4 and would never insult my M1028 or M1009 with one. I am currently trying to buy back my old 4L80E and Turbo set up off my old 94 Chevy that I...

This weekend I got my manual glow plug controller installed (my thumb and a momentary contact switch), and replaced all the burned out Wellman 070's (all 8 of them) with AC 13G's. It started great the first 3-4 starts since. yesterday morning the first 6 seconds wasn't enough on the first...

Still need help....why doES the relay engage when the blue wire and terminal are jumped to a positive? this is on a new s55 relay? if someone could explain step by step what is suppose to happen at the relay and what is going on in the pink and blue wires through out the cycle I could probably...

mates Mobilization and Training Equipment Site. Basically, they are military run maintenance shops located at Fort's and Camps in the US Army, and they employ alot of military and civillian mechanics

Okay, I replaced the relay with the Borg Warner S-55 today, and I followed the directions to a tee. Same thing. Out of curiosity, I checked voltage between the blue wire and the incoming 24v resisted wire and got nothing. I then checked the voltage between the Pnk wire and the 24v resisted...
