Yeah..I hear ya...I'm just wondering if they changed the color codes? I can't find the ones that I should be finding. I'll call SEM and see what they tell me.

I have read countless threads on the paint codes for the SEM brand, but am not finding a match on the current SEM website. They are giving a different paint code of either 4725 Dk Bronze or 4050 Very Dk Bronze...

I spoke with the gentlemen who built the IP and he seems to think that it is one of the fuel lines causing the issue, so I am working to get the mechanic and the builder on a call to discuss further. It seems that these old school diesels are a different breed than the new ones today and the...

It was either I pick it up or it get thrown in the scrapper when they trash the truck. Figured I'd keep it or get it to someone who could use it, since mine has been converted. :)

Bought parts for my 09 today at a salvage yard. Found a M1009 at a salvage yard and was able to get my rifle mounts for inside the cab, a power strip for inside the cab, several other odds and ends, and a rear bench seat in great condition for cheap. Oh...and a resistor from the firewall. :)

Well, I got a call this morning. They tell me that the IP I brought them is not working, so...they will take it off, over the next couple of days, when they get caught up on their other projects, and then give it to me, so that the IP mechanic can repair it. This means at least another week...

Well..they tinkered with the timing yesterday and I haven't heard back from them as of this morning. They have now had my truck for one week. For any of you guys that have your own small business and deal with customers and service, here's a word of advice...give your customers a daily update...

That's a good question to ask. Ya know...I always kick myself when I don't do these jobs myself! Darn work...always getting in the way! at least if I did it myself, I only have myself to blame!

OK...I broke down and had a diesel mechanic work on my 09. He replaced the IP with a rebuilt Standyne from my local diesel injection rebuilding shop. (They were recommended to me; old school shop) Well...my mechanic calls me this afternoon after taking her on a test run and tells me that in...

I had forgotten about those covers. :) Unfortunately, mine is past the covering stage.

That actually helps confirm it for me, so thank you for the reply. Sometimes it just helps to hear it, before throwing down good money on a project. I appreciate it.

I'll take the lack of response to mean that one is basically the same as the other and there is no quality difference in dashboards? Thanks all!

I know there are a LOT of places to get dashpads and I've read so many postings about dashpads that my head is spinning. Who has the best quality replacement dashpad? Are the ones from our favorite catalog distributor worth it? Anyone else have any worthwhile? Are there any stores that carry...

THAT link is a huge help! Thanks!

I ripped out old blue carpet that the prior owner put in and now there is adhesive all over the floor. How do I remove the old, dried adhesive? I plan on laying down bedliner in the interior. Thanks.

Started working on pulling out the blue carpet that the Sheriff's Dept had installed. Took out the bench seat and the passenger seat to do it. No major rust, which is exciting. Now I have to figure out how to remove all the old adhesive that kept the carpet down. Once it's cleaned well, I think...

Those were my thoughts, exactly! Ugggg....

Got my AC running in my CUCV. Nice, cold air, now that Winter is almost here. Next step is to seal the cab of the truck and insulate it.

I know...time is flying. Project has been on hold, due to other pressing issues, but I hope to get them going again soon. How are things with you??

OK..I'll look into that. Thanks for the words of encouragement. ;)
