For the life of me I can't figure out how to upload using chrome or safari. The parts diagram shows a small L bracket the top alternator ear goes into. It lists a locknut and a M8 bolt.

Belt started squealing. Bolt missing. What size is it?
Also noticed my water pump is not cat yellow. Has some surface rust. Probably replaced recently. I may have the same problem.

When I tilt my cab near the front of the truck above the radiator there is a huge flap door. It looks like it brings in fresh air.

I picked up a couple of batteries and realized I don't carry and straps or nets.
What kind of load retaining stuff are you using? I did go look at military cargo nets but the variety blew my mind. :)
I noticed there is a vent that goes from the bottom of the cab directly above the engine. I think a lot of sound is bleeding through that vent hole and the open grate. Has anyone looked into damping that sound at all?
I totally agree about road noise and tires. I will look into other options.
From what others have said the dynamat will deaden thuds but won't do a great job of damping sound. Some people have recommended using acoustic foam to help absorb more of the noise.

If you are the only one driving the truck it's a bit bumpy and loud. When my wife is in the truck and we are trying to talk to talk with...
I'm a big fan of the pulse technology. I have been using it for years in a CTEK charger. I suspect that it's not widespread due to patents. In a large battery backed solar setup it would certainly help extend the batteries lifespan if lead acid is used. From what the hawker rep tells me the...
There is some kind of smog cert on the valve cover. I guess I will need to pull the air pipes off to fully inspect the top. Is it a printed label or stamped in?
I lifted my cab with the engine running and then switched it off and lowered the cab. I'll try a full cycle next time.
Despite my best efforts I could not locate the engine serial number. If it's under the alternator I think I would need to remove that part to see it.
