This is not exactly a true statement. The 24 volt starter system is a good system except you cannot buy the starter in a local parts store. When you do the gp bypass you have already done half of the Roscommon 12 volt Conversion. Since your truck is already converted you can buy all the parts...

When the light comes on I would not even trouble shoot, just rebuild or replace. That's where it is going anyways...

You better take a look at your flexplate too. You already know what happened. He was trying to get it going and your starter wore out. If you take the time to get the parts mentioned above and make sure your flexplate is OK or change it if worn, you should not have any trouble for a long time.

Well, I will be honest here. I did the Roscommon conversion last Saturday. I understand preserving these vehicles, I do. I use my truck in many desolate places and I need to be able to buy parts locally. I used the Duralast Gold Starter with a lifetime warranty and new copper battery...

Mine wants to be a Cummins. I use a fuel additive and have never had trouble in the winter without the fuel heater.

Every time someone asks about converting to 12 volt I hear how great the 24 volt system is for starting and how the 12 volt will not start in the winter. I risk going out on a limb to say not necessarily... When two batteries are connected in parallel they double the cranking amps, thus with...

I know belts have been discussed many times. I was changing my belts today and found out the power steering pump and PS Alt use the same belts as the K30 pickup. For me that was Gates High Performance 5725 for the PS Alt and Gates 7455 for the power steering. Same as the civvy truck. Makes...

I have the spin on and no problems winter or summer. I do use Diesel Treat each fill up. EDIT- spell check gets me every time. "you to use"

Thought I read you changed the relay. Sorry, the heat must be blurring my vision. Carry on...

What part did you use?

I went on the interstate today and up airport hill today to go to FedEx. 4 cylinders have a problem on that hill. I was accelerating the whole time and hit 65 mph easily. Nothing blew up or fell off my M1008. I was smiling too thinking about this thread! :driver:

Anybody? I was wondering too and have never read anything about it. I was thinking about a whole new instrument panel some day.

I've been doing that for a few year now with no problems. The maintenance on my M1008 is good and I don't plan to stop. Lately 60 seems a good speed. I even get to pass sometimes.

I went for more hitch than I will ever need. I've seen some messed up stuff being towed down the interstate and I don't want to be responsible for a mishap. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/70748-receiver-hitch-trailer-plug-brake-controller.html

There's a few of these trucks in town here. Every time I see this I think about trying to buy one. Looking good!

You better read about propeller shafts in TM 9-2320-289-20P. They seem to have two designs depending on the serial number of your vehicle.

So what size is the center dash speaker? I thought I read it was a 4x10. I haven't tore down my dash yet and can't find a good picture.
