Duhh!! I am glad I live in N.H. $100.00 for a rebuilt alternator, $100.00 for a Modified Delco Remy to 24 volts to install in a Deuce. Some like to take advantoge of GREEN Machine Owners. Most of the problems with these alt. is the Regulator which you can purchase on line. Do more research...
Drive shaft should be easy enough to find used. Regular 1/2 ton and 3/4 should be the same. I got a couple in my barn from past junk I recycled. Too hard to straiten shaft. Easier to build one from scratch.
RE: Re: RE: Important Fuel Injection Pump question, please h
Timing of a 6.2 is critical. Don't touch unless needed. Some of these engines sound like they are out of time, but that's the way they are? Semper Fi S/SGT Wright USMC 1967-1971 3531
Well guys I got my M1008 home yesterday. took it out on the road today and I thought it did not shift out of 2nd gear!!!???. 55mph and it does SCREAM!!! The people who specked these vehicles out for the US of A must have stock in GM, engine division, and the oil Cos. Way geared too lo, even...
500 mile Haul
This was my first haul with 3500 Chevy Duramax and 20,000 LB trailer. I hauled from Chambersburg to N.H. in Feb. Deuce and 1 trl in back of deuce. No problem and even got carried away several times at speeds of 75mph!?? I am not bragging, just a matter of getting things done...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Trailering a deuce
CRY,CRY CRY!! Does anyone know what the GVWR is on that rig?until you know the facks, QUIT THE BITCHEN!! I got a 2006 3500 Chevy, GVW combined with 20,000 trl equals 27,000 lbs. That trailer has a higher rating and if the truck is a 4500 model...
If a tow bar is used and adjusted right, the vwhicle should tow fine without a driver. Thats what a tow bar is for. In some states it is illegal to ride in a Towed vehicle. 40 -50 miles is a short distance.I have towed Tractor trucks with a tow bar pulled behing a 3/4 ton pick up. I have 8ft tow...
If you know any rebuilders, have them modified and do up anDelco remy to replace yours. It cost me 125.00 for new-rebuilt. You can modify Alt. brackets to accept the Delco. I also had one done up for my 24 volt Excavator, and was simple to chance. Good luck, Phil
My EUC for 3577 went through quite quickly, but I have gotten Euc Revisions Needed for EUC3591. I filled out paper work EXACTLY the same!! The revisions said "Do not put For{ personal use{, only pu Personal". Yet I did the same on Euc 3577 and it went through OK!!!??? I think it depends on who...
RE: Re: Clutch and Bellhousing needed for a 5.9 Install
Russ81, Check with my son, {NHDIESEL}. He has a complete set up to convert his 94 Dodge 2500 auto. to a standard trans. I know he bought a Deuce trans. to use behind the 5.9. I think he changed his mind because he put a 4bt into his Dodge...
I have 2 Honda 4x4 Ranchers. I have had 4wheelers since first new on in 1986. I know one is Fun, but more Fun when a friend goes along. My friend and his son were comming from WA. for a couple weeks, so I bought the second one for the fun of it! I also have the room to ride{250 acres}, and I...
That whole truck looks like it make a good Road truck up here in N.H. It looks better than my 1997 2500 with the 5.9 and 5spd over. Rust gets the best of the vehicles around here. Good luck selling it, I think it is a good deal!!!, Phil
RE: M1009
I would clean up the engine and see where the leak is. It could be as simple as a Rotting oil line to the Oil cooler or a Transmission line. I just sold a m1009 that had a slight oil leak at rear main, but not a Dripping leak, just a little wetness is not bad! If the trans works...
RE: 24VDC Generator Questions
When it comes to old gas systems, and even everyday, I like to put Mystery oil through the msystem. good cleaning material and once U got the system clean enough to put gas through. run the same stuff with UR gas and cleans the valves also. Good luck phil
I beg to differ with bkubu. I was privilidged to drive 10 tons in Nam, and I thought they were fun to drive!! It does take some experience to shift through the gears because of the 5 speed non syncro. , and the rpms do not drop as quickly as a 6 cylinder diesel. But sitting up Hi was great ant...
Darn!! I had a 1989 GMC3500 with 6.2 and 4.11 gears, and I thought those were LO!!?? These M1008 must SCREAM at 55-65 mph!!?? What a differeace between the gears of M1009-M1008. I got an M1009that goes real well with 308s. Now I must prepair EUC for a M1008 I got today. Tried to get 2, but got...
WOW Sounds complicated. All U gotta do is hook up tester to Bat terminal on Alt. Pos to batt., Neg to Isolated grd. Start vehicle and see what U have for voltage. I believe u can test at Bat for voltage. Just test front batt. for 12=14 volts with engine running and test rear batt. for 24-26...
