Issue: Feels like rotational mass or a hopping, noticeable slow and steady at 21 MPH, fast and aggressive at 47 MPH (Visors flap), and less hopping and more of a mass truck vibration at around 65 MPH that I cannot pinpoint. If I pay real close attention I can feel it all the time once it starts...

OK quick update. I was able to return the GPR11, although I tested per the end of dogheads quote and even though there was an "i" and an "s" nothing had continuity to the base, I hooked it up the same way I did the stock GPR and it just buzzed so I killed power and put stock back on. Stopped at...

I had that on my list of alternatives after reading that thread months ago. Local Napa has them so after I take this one back to Advance ill make a short trip over there and get that one instead.

What hasn't been done would be a shorter list I'm afraid haha. I plan to start my own thread once complete and list all photos I took along the way but basically started restoring my truck early June. Put about 500 hours into it so far and nearly done. Last night I replaced glow plugs and v...

Months ago I searched the forum for a better GPR to replace the stock unit in my M1008. I came by ECHGPR110 as the better unit out there, and a couple others that people had luck with. Advance Auto, where I normally like to buy from as their online coupon codes are unbeatable, cross referenced...

The rag wasn't soaked in Acetone, just damp enough to pickup dust and such. I actually laid down Raptor Liner inside while I let it flash before I applied the Latex on the outside, should have been long enough. I'm just disappointed I have to do the whole thing over again but will note your...

Seems to be sticking really well, but its causing rust somehow. I have a plow blade that was rusted pretty good and coated in the rusty metal primer. Its been sitting for months outside in rain and sun with no evidence of rust coming through, so why would the Latex cause it to rust? It does...

Got a card from hillbilly myself about 8 months ago, working great so far.

3.5 year old thread revival...sorry. I regret using it only a week after. I had the bed off my M1008, sandblasted, acetone wiped, primed with Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer, got sidetracked for 2 weeks, wiped the primer down quick with a damp acetone rag to remove dust and oils, then painted...

want to sell one haha? Mines got 70k original miles, im sure its going to be the first thing to go by the time I hit 100k. Which in all honesty, might take me 6 more years

Wow, looking very nice. I recently blasted my bed and repaired some weak spots and plan to get it painted this weekend. Next weekend I have 5 days to do basically the same exact thing you are now. Although I want to jack the cab up a few inches if possible to put a fresh coat on the frame there...

Looking good man, love the hooks!

Blew drivers rear brake line off the wheel cylinder today. Luckily I had no load or trailer and was at a gas station about to pull out when I felt pedal get soft. I crimped it off and was about to fill reservoir when I noticed the front and rear are separate. In the end I drove home just fine...

Blasting the bed worked out much better than I hoped. I should have clarified I just kept running into problems with the blasting unit haha. First it wouldn't adjust the flow of the media, then when we fixed that the ceramic fitting the hose connects to, got thin & cracked then flew off spraying...

Thanks, I planned to do it right the first time and be done with it, truck will be dead before the copper nickel lines give out so I might as well. I just ordered a bunch of 3/16" & 1/4" inverted flare fittings and hope that's all I need on top of 1 union fitting. I think its odd the TM shows...

what size fitting What flare is on these trucks? Standard or Double Flare? In the master parts list TM I see a Union fitting. From the rear diagram it shows NSN/Part # 9432075 to the rear of the fitting, and NSN/Part # 137397 to the front, both of which I have no clue what sizes are or if...

Wow that's nothing! Lay in a tiny bit of bondo or patch with some sheet metal after you neutralize that rust like you did, paint to match and done! I wish I had picks of my rockers and cab corner to show you... well I would get some but they don't exist!

Thanks for the info. I just wanted to be sure 25 Ft of each length would suffice to replace all my lines. Am I going to run into a problem where I need 15 different sized fittings or are there only 2-3 different sized fittings throughout? I get the feeling its going to end up being a repair...

Love this thread man, please keep the updates and pics coming! It will definitely help me out down the road.

Checked the TMs and I managed to find one size using GM part number 603827 and its 1/4" brake tubing. There are other brake lines under different part numbers but I just cannot find what size it is. I'm guessing the truck has sections of 3/16" and 1/4" brake line so I should buy a coil of...
