    Any one know where I can get battery vent caps for a 6tmf ?

    lol...not likely to find it...we got about 3 ft of snow around here since. They look like the same ones old Mack and Cat batteries had.

    Gen 1 & Gen 2 gauges, instead of lights???

    This/\ I actually had gen 2 not charging because the circuit board on the instrument cluster had burned and the light was not in the loop.

    How to plumb and auxiliary heater in my M1009

    yes. When I bought it I found the t stat incorrect installed. I drained the system, flushed and refilled. Both my Cucv's are falling short and the one has a new core(brass) in it. It is very cold here. When the temps go up to the 20's it's not bad but the last few below zero mornings have been a...

    Any one know where I can get battery vent caps for a 6tmf ?

    I dropped one of my caps. I looked for over an hour. it's gone. Any idea where I can get one ? I don't want to replace a 300$ battery not to mention I'm screwed tomorrow. I shoved a plastic cap in the hole for tomorrow but don't like the idea of not having the proper vented cap. They screw in...

    How to plumb and auxiliary heater in my M1009

    I have cardboard in front of mine. Still freezing..:) Even put a brand new GM T stat. Problem is it is so cold here that the fresh air coming in is cooling the core off too much.

    How to plumb and auxiliary heater in my M1009

    Tired of freezing my nuts off in this frigid weather. I have a universal 12v auxiliary heater similar to what the civvy suburbans had. Should I t each coolant line or hook the auxiliary heater in series with the cab heater ? Also which hose if I do the cab heater interrupt ? Upper or lower on...

    Fried my Generator...can I fix it ?

    FWIW maybe this is old news but parts are no longer made nor is the alternator. Kenny, No we have no replacement parts Best regards, Customer Resource Representative/Call Center Paula Parry Ph# 866-288-9853 FX# 585-492-8811 pparry@prestolite.com From: Sent: Wednesday...

    Fried my Generator...can I fix it ?

    Yeah from what I read I think the Delco one is a 21si or 24si IIRC. I'm not real fond of Delco Alts though. If I can stay with a Leece Neville, I'd like to. that is just my preference from being a Truck Mechanic/owner. Had much better luck over the years with the LN's. I saw some 140 amp LN's...

    Busted block

    If you can remove it, I would strongly recommend doing it. I would not put the motor in without the oil pan on. I'd rather dent an oil pan than crack a 400$ oil pump.

    Fried my Generator...can I fix it ?

    I may talk to my Alt guy and see if we can come up with something else. This thing is alot of money and useless wieght IMHO for the piddly 60amps it puts out. I could save more than half the weight with a little fab and a powerline.

    Fried my Generator...can I fix it ?

    Found this while trying to see if something else could be used. Not sure if it's useful to anyone else or has been posted before. http://news.prestolite.com/drupaldocs/AMA%20Parts%20List%20%28defunct%29.pdf

    Fried my Generator...can I fix it ?

    I took it off tonight. Local Auto electric shop said they can rebuild it most likely. He is somewhat familar as he does alot of heavy equipment and truck stuff.

    Busted block

    I would not pull them as one. I did it that way and it is a tight squeeze not to mention the weight.Looking back, I would have dropped the tranny first. You will not be able to pull it with your average cherry picker. You would need a heavy diesel specific one. I pulled mine with a New Holland...

    oil leaking from front of cylinder head

    This/\ Most of the work is pulling the intake/exhaust manifold. That is the hardest part of the job because it's mostly handwrench work. Once the Manifolds are off, the rest is easy. Do them both.

    Fried my Generator...can I fix it ?

    Fried my Alternator...can I fix it ? I think I fried the voltage regulator. is it serviceable ? Any idea where to get one ? I was changing the rats nest in the battery box and I screwed up and hooked the batts up backwards and I saw a quick spark and now it does not charge.
