Post a pic. Curious to see that. I need to look into this. Something I'm not familiar with but I'm sure it needs checked on my truck!

Just a follow up to the thread. Picked up the new/refurbished group 31 battery from Interstate and it was straight drop-in. I have to agree it looks like the battery trays were setup to use this size battery too. I only got one battery so still using the 6tmf as the second. Comparing the voltage...

Sounds like a loose belt. Other good info in this thread, though.

How much the same do the two batteries need to be? The other 6TMF is good, so I may keep it for other projects. The refurbished Group 31 at Interstate without core trade was almost $100. I can get a brand new one for about $116. Would a new one and a refurbished one be ok to use together? It...

Went to Interstate Battery today. They did have a Group 31 battery, but they had no idea it's specs. The CCA according to the load tester was about 1050, which is nice, but is that all I need to worry about? The battery was about half the weight of the 6TMF and looks like they found it in a...

Pulled the battery out, shook it around a bit, knocked on the floor a tad, but it seems pretty solid and it's still dead. :) Worth a shot!

Well, it's looking like the rear battery up and died suddenly, without any warning and completely unexpectedly. Put the rear battery on the charger overnight, and picked up an $18.00 6v/12v battery load/alternator/starter tester from Harbor Freight today. The front battery tests good, and the...

Hey, thanks! I actually walked right past your house... twice. The truck was at Braum's.

The M1008 has been my daily driver for months. It's been running great and seem to be getting decent mileage. Also, the truck is cool and I like driving it. This week, me and the dog have put hundreds of miles, going to the river fishing, 4x4'ing on some off road trails a bit, and literally...

The 383 green arrived today. Shipping was fast.

This is the seat cover I got. OxGord Saddle Blanket. It's two piece and only $25 on Amazon. But, you'll need to spend about $25.00 on additional cheap pants suspenders to attach the cover better. The blanket part is good quality, but the elastic straps rip out when stretched too far and there's...

The rubber flooring in my current truck is worn out and split and the insulation under parts are starting to come through. I've done a little internet searching and haven't been able to find a rubber, form fitted flooring for these trucks or even any automatic, 4x4, single cab Chevy truck. I'm...

Had some thoughts about painting the front grill, guard and bumpers flat black. Any comments about that? Is it taboo? Any suggestions on a good flat black that won't turn chalky?

I'm in the DFW area, so College Station would be a few hours away. It would be awesome, but I'm not yet sure the truck would make that distance yet. :) It looks like there is an M1009 not far from my house, so I need to go meet that guy. These engines make some strange noises, so it's hard for...

Was driving yesterday and it felt like a hard shift into 2nd or 3rd gear. Since then, it seems the clatteryness has stopped. Then, was driving later that night and thought I heard something fall off the truck. You can hear it in this new video. I'm starting to wonder if maybe the car in front of...

I have not. I'll need to start looking that up. I don't even know what a harmonic balancer is. :P

Can anyone identify this strange clattery sound? It seems to be getting louder or I'm just noticing it more. You don't have to watch the whole video, but you can hear it in the video. It seems to happen upon initial acceleration. When it's in park, and I rev it up, it still clatters, but not as...

I wonder how AC Delco filters stack up compared to FRAM. Do you notice the exhaust smell changing with different oil types?

Just ran up to the auto store and got 2 gallons of the Shell Rotella T 15w-40 (. It was on sale too, so that was nice. I picked up an AC Delco PF1218 oil filter. This is the filter the book at the store said. They didn't have an AC Delco PF35. The PF1218 seems much shorter than I was expecting...

Reading the 6.2L manual and it says: -7 Quarts with filter change -Filter model AC Delco PF35 -Use ONLY SF/CD (best choice) or SF/CC (acceptable) quality oils I would think there is more than one manufacture for oil filters. Fram, Mobile1? Also, according to some other info I was reading...
