Just curious, what size tires are you running and did you need to trim the rear of those front fenders? Smitty

Some of us might have thought you had looked at the schematic in the tech manual section to figure out the series issue. Pretty simple once you have that part of the system down. You might look on ebay for an alternator, DB Electronics has been a good vendor for me. Does this mean you have...

I had the same thing happen on mine. Turned out that the starter stayed engaged with the flywheel after the engine started. The only thing that I found was a broken ring that might have allowed the bendix to move too far forward into the ring gear. I changed over to 12 volt since I had to...

I'd agree that the 203 might work best in your situation. Full-time FWD has the downside of increased wear on the front end, but it makes up for it in a situation where traction is required and there isn't time to get out and lock in a set of hubs. I've seen some pretty impressive trucks in...

Yes. I had to trim the original bracket to fit the new starter. After seeing how the bolts will shear off when people don't install the rear bracket, I wouldn't run a starter without one. Smitty

Hey, get it right, it's the Ramada Inn... :D Smitty

Just finished installing the new starter. I have to say that this 12 volt conversion might be the way to go. Putting this starter in is a lot easier than the old one, the weight savings makes it simple to get the bolts started. The only starters I've delt with in the 6.2 have been factory...

Sure wish these were around when I bought mine! Smitty

I've heard them called "gov-bombs" by many. That said, I can't actually recall one coming into the maintenance shop for a bad rear differential while I was in the AF. Smitty

I worked on military vehicles for over 26 years and can't remember a military specific 12 volt meter. I was AF, so there were a lot of military vehicles in the US system that didn't come through my shops. Just figured I'd check to see if there was something out there that would fit the...

What has everyone done about their volt meter after they converted to a full 12 volt system? Is there a 12 volt version that hooks into the existing connector? Smitty

I bought a winch motor from this company a while back. They shipped it out quick and it was well made. I doubt this part will be any different. I'll post up after I get it installed. Smitty

Thanks. I was just assured by DB Electric that this is the correct starter. It's on the way! :D :D :D Smitty

Found an excellent write-up on the conversion on the net by Roscommon Equipment Center. The starter that I'm looking at buying is from DB Electrical through Ebay. (item #130024144416) It's a 12 volt gear reduction starter. I'm just not too sure if it will work as far as bolting up and meshing...

Thinking about converting my 1986 M1031 over to a 12 volt starter. Is the 28MT the correct starter for this conversion? I found one on Ebay, but it only goes back to a 1989. I figure I can double my CCA if I go with a 12 volt starter. Does anyone happen to have a link to the process for this...

My PTO is the fixed rotation type. You could use the winch to run a hydraulic pump, then you could run multiple hydraulic winches. Just a thought. Smitty

Received the switch today. Expensive too, $80 :shock: ! Oh well, if it will let me get the generator in the back going it will be worth it. Smitty

Eagle Bobtail. You can count on frame problems with these. They are a great source of parts for other projects. Smitty

I have the BFG A/T's on two of my trucks. I've run them for quite a while and do like them. You are right, they are worthless in mud. They don't clean at all, just become big slicks. However, since I'm in the land of sand and pavement they work fine for my situation. If I were going to a...

I may have found it. Muncie lists a Pulse Generator (31T35108) that looks like the item I'm looking to replace. The line drawing looks exactly like what I need. I have an email in to them for a price and availability. Smitty
