Rick you may already know that U-joints need to articulate in order to properly lubricate themselves. The more articulation the better to keep the internal needle bearings rolling. I keep telling you to forget the driveshaft angle and focus instead on bringing the DRIVETRAIN angle and AXLE...

Rick the main thing you want to try to do is to keep the output shaft from the transfer case and the pinion input on the axle parallel to each other, or at least within 2 degrees of each other. That in itself will tell you what degree of shims will be needed on the axle. It has nothing to do...

Due to the arrogant tone of your posts, I regret ever attempting to assist you on this thread. For many years I have contributed to the knowledge base of this site and freely shared my experiences of restoring & rebuilding my M1028 with the other SS members. But now, I am through. I will not...

Can he Google that o_O?

McMaster Carr - Google it.

The A/C system is by Vintage Air. But you will need to figure out how to mount the compressor onto your engine. You can read my write-up here - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/kinda-got-carried-away-m1028-rebuild.54469/post-2224882

I've got one practically brand new if you want it. I'm not going to need it with my new 765R4. Pm me if interested.

You might find my experiences enlightening - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/kinda-got-carried-away-m1028-rebuild.54469/post-2224882

I'll answer that question. First, I climb into my cab. Then I insert my key, and after the glow-plug warm-up period, turn that sucker clockwise until the thing cranks. Then I pull down on the shift lever to "D" and press the accelerator pedal, and Bingo! - my engine moves forward!

Hey guys, GM issued a Service Bulletin in 1988 to remove the rear proportioning valve. I removed mine when I installed rear disc brakes and raised the truck 5". Now my rear brakes work together with the front brakes perfectly. You can see the Service Bulletin here - 88-320-5 Chevrolet...

Well, I happen to like to tack on more stuff and add a bunch of clutter :ROFLMAO:

Why not leave the OEM cluster alone and simply add the other gauges as stand-alone instruments in a separate under-dash or on-dash cluster? Much more simpler and cheaper. And then you would have gauges AND idiot lights. That's what I did and I wouldn't have it any other way. Just...

Yes the front fenders have been widened on front & back. I'll post photos soon in my build thread.

One inch forward with Zero Rates.

I think my approach and departure angles are almost straight up and straight down. I'll have to get the old thing out and see.

Jake; Thanks for your very informative post. I've been fooling with timing the 6.2 for as long as it has been in existence. What I do is to time the warm engine by feel & ear as you describe, and then run it down the road and back. There is definitely a sweet spot of power and economy, which...

I only drive my truck during a clear sunny day, so I don't really need any headlights :).

I believe he may have the split intake manifold which requires two hoses from the CDR . One hose hits the intake throat on the same side as the valve and the other snakes around and hits the throat on the driver's side. The 6.5 intakes are open-plane and therefore only needs one hose. I'm...
