You could rebuild the alternators yourself if you are handy. The parts will run you less than fifty bucks for the kit per alternator. I did it and it worked out fine. if you do though, be careful about separating the cases and removing the end bearings. They can stick, and you run the risk of...

Don't waste your time with the oe style rubber ones. Do the polyurethane once and forget about it. Get the trans mounts too while you are at it. You will probably need to notch the little u plate that it comes with the Energy Suspension trans mounts to clear one of the mounting bolts, but its...

The alt lights in the dash are part of the circuit working the alternators. If the bulbs are bad or they dont light when it is not running, then that alternator wont charge. It could be as simple as cleaning the connections at your instrument cluster connector and bulb sockets.. Careful though...

You know, what could be happening is there may be a poor ground side connection between the engine, battery, and cab grounds adding just enough resistance for it to read 20 or 30 degrees too hot. I don't know if it works in that way, but maybe.

It's possible to install the thermostat backwards, just need to confirm this isn't the case here.

Yeah, the one in the video seems to be a lot tighter where the three pieces fit in.

Just for comparison, when measured, I have 0.004A (approx) draw on my battery when the vehicle is off. The little bit is probably the LED for the usb outlet I have in the cig light all the time.

LoL, my alternator ate itself in a similar fashion, but i was stuck at a stop light as the belt burnt itself off. Mine failed as one or two of the front ball bearings in the alternator lost a ball and the shaft dropped into the spot left by the open ball and suddenly locked up. After my belt...

When you say 10v draw, what are you meaning and how are you getting that measurement? Usually parasitic draws are measure in Amps or miliamps, unless you're just measuring a voltage drop somewhere. My opinion would be perhaps there is something in your fuse panel that has melted together and is...

You want the pump with the straight arm, not the one that has a little bent portion in it. I had to rotate the crankshaft on mine to get the lobe to rotate up. Once I rotated it, removed the pushrod and put a gob of grease on the end, it stayed up until after I bolted the first plate and then...

You can just do what I did and make a couple big orders from rockauto. There is plenty of selection. Buy for an 84 K30. If you do, learn from me and make a small purchase first and wait for a discount code to show up in your email before your big one lol. This is mine with original saggy...

That sounds to me like you may be getting full vacuum at all times to the transmission. Mine does a similar thing, where it starts off and immediately slips into second and hits third about 15 mph. Test it by manually shifting into second at a stop and then it should shift 1-2 properly when you...

Advance Auto sells 3/8 steel line in a 40 inch length for less than ten dollars, and will loan you a flaring tool.

Looks like its just 3/8 steel tubing if you look up the part number for the output line of the pump to the filter. If that's what you are looking for? It states to make from part number 3750950 for the line, 35.5 inches in length. If you just need the flare nut then its 411fs-6. Inverted flare...

Yeah, that's the problem with those seals. The whole axle needs to come apart. Probably every one of ours needs replacing.

I'm not sure if I should be editing posts since I was the last poster, or if since it's new info, just post again. I'm not familiar with bulletin board etiquette as it pertains to this sort of thing. Anyhow, Ive measured the ride height and the toe. From the front leaf spring eye bushing, at...

Alright, there is a little bit of news to go around. I got my bearings and seals replaced and let it back on the tires again. I measured ride height at the bottom of the frame near a body mount, and got 1/8 inch higher on the passenger side. It drives the same, no pull or anything, just...

I haven't put the tires back on yet to measure ride height or anything. Once I get my bearings replaced I'm going to reinstall my tires and set it back down to see how it sits. It's sitting on jack stands in the driveway currently with the left side hub apart. With the weight on the jack...

I installed the Off Road design steering brace on my steering box when I did my front end repairs. Everything is tight, I see no problem there. Currently my course of action is going to be replacing the bearings and seals on the driver side and redriving it to check if that makes any...

As soon as the weight is on the springs again it will move back to where it normally rests, whether it be straight or crooked.
