    1009 mystery issue

    sorry we couldnt help you find the problem, you will need a 9/16 box wrench that has a crook in it for the bottom ip bolt, maybe FMJ has it. if you have a way to heat up a standard wrench you can make one. also when the pump comes out make sure you watch the cup seals and their position. good...

    transfer case or transmission problem, help with diagnosis

    the transfer case sounds like the problem. the np 208's have an aluminum case , are light and easy to remove. if you have the ability you can split them apart and fix them, usually the shifting fork wears and wont keep them locked in the right range. common problem. good luck after update...

    m1028 charging problem need help has on alt

    pull the 6 8mm bolts that hold the regulator on top of the alternator, pull it straight up, see what position the lug is in. lo-med-hi. move it around and see if anything changes with out put. if you can determine that the regulator itself is bad it can be replaced. thanks

    m1028 charging problem need help has on alt

    somebody did away with the original system that truck had. originally the top alternator charged the front battery and the bottom alt charged the back. the front ran the truck, the back just the starter the way i understand it. i think they must be using one 24v alternator to charge the two...

    Cooling Questions

    i agree, its the thermostat. do you have heat in the cab? put your hand on the heater hoses after running for a while . correct temp and you wont be able to hold them for more than 5 seconds. radiator cap is usually good if it pulls coolant back in from overflow bottle when cooling.
