Has anyone tried to retrofit a later model gp controller to their MV? My 1031 doesnt have a card in it, and I went to the stealership to see about something like it, and they have a electronic, all in one deal, it has 5 spades on it... Ill try and dig up a part #

Heres a crappy one from when I recovered the 1031, the 1008 is mine as well

Mike, you may have just become my new best friend! LoL!

That does sound a bit puzzling... Why don't you pm me your number and a good time to call you.

What is it doing?

I do most of my own work, I'm up in Florissant. I tow for a living and I will start asking around a out some shops. The one good shop I knew of I don't think is there anymore. What are you needing to do?

There also known as zak lifts. Or are you talking about the kind that hooks 5th wheel plate to 5th wheel plate? Or the kind you can fork with?

I stand corrected. My appologies for my incorrect assumptions. Learn something new everyday. Thank you gentleman.

One thing I haven't seen brought up yet is the fact the 6.2 is a converted gas motor, and only has 8 head bolts per side. What this means is the higher cylinder pressures of a diesel put a strain on these bolts. Adding a turbo, which will add more cylinder pressure (same with NOS and propane)...

I have been following this from the begining. I wonder... if you have some kind of a pinched line somewhere, I like the idea of seeing if the truck will run off a small container of fuel. That way you can rule out the entire fuel system up to the lift pump. These trucks are very simple running...

Price on the antenna and mount shipped to 63033?

The resistor drops voltage but not amps. So you have the amps of both battery working to heat up the glow plugs (faster starts) as opposed to the frt battery amps only. And why do you all think you wouldnt be able to use the slave to jump start with the 12 volt mod? The way its wired up, it...

Anyone thought about moving the crossmember? Or is that not possible? Im looking at putting th 40gal from my burban in my 1008...

HP is an imaginary number. When you dyno a engine it reads Tourque. Its math that figures hp. Tourque does all the work. Look at the new duramax its only 400hpp, but 760ish lbs. Speed cost money, how fast can you afford to go?

Thank you all for your great input! NDT PM sent.

So if I go with a small engine powered gen set, what should I get. Im looking at a mig welder, and wanting to be able to run a fue flood lights, small fridge, lab top, x box, and a 32 in plasma tv.... Oh and the coffee maker.....rofl But seriously, this Kw crap is killing me, I read the other...

Ok, first off. Im not sure this should even be here and if its not supposed to be I do appologize. I will be picking up a m1031 contact maint truck. It had a gas powered gen set in it, doesnt now. No welder or anything for that matter... How hard would it be to aquire all needed parts to make it...

I have the same kind of issue, Both alts completely gone through, snd the gauge barely sits in the green.

Oh, I feel dumb now. Sorry about that.

You will want to check the pins prior to removing it for power, I believe the radios ran on 24v, dont think your CB will like that very much.... Oh, and when you remove it... Disconect the batteries.:beer:
