Here is some info, especially in the last posts: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1008-anti-theft-switch.149748/

If it helps, I bought regular delineator decals, got magnetic backing material online and made my own removable delineator panels. Easy peasy. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

I meant "did not roll" as in "roll over". Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

If you go for the under dash mount of the heater, I recommend two things: - cut down the heater box; most of it is empty space that is unnecessary - use the diverter box for a 5ton, it has the intake on the right and that works perfect with the under dash placement of the heater. I do not have...

Holy _____ No human got hurt, that is the main thing. A few good things in your favour - truck did not roll. Fenders, roof, doors and other sheet metal looks relatively healthy. The mirrors are good :) - the axles took a beating. While that is bad, it may have saved the frame. The rear axles...

I second @m715mike on rockwelloffroad.com boots. Their heavy duty boots are a tad oversized on purpose to ease installation. I changed them about three years ago and they are still perfect. I can say that install was a breeze. Mine are orange.....because...

It was not my intention to mislead. Your situation made perfect sense and if it had been me, I would have posted the ad without a second thought. I would have been mistaken. Firstly, perhaps there is room for discussion with the moderators. The rules are there for a reason - namely, to prevent...

My suggestion would be to support this site with the few bucks it costs and recoup the money when the truck sells. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

@Mullaney I deliberately picked a base with a wasted seat because I knew I was going to throw the seat away. I also did my best to appear as if I did not care whether I bought it or not....letting a jun...salvage yard owner know you really want/need something is like pouring blood into the water...

I strongly recommend an air ride seat base out of a commercial truck cab, with a Humvee seat or similar on top. Makes it look stock. Measure the height of the base you need before you go hunting. Its easy to pick one that's too high. I paid $50 for mine at the junkyard. I deliberately picked an...

Good on you for finding a new rad. Methinks your rad leak was high up if it only bubbles when the truck is shut off. The rad is easy to repair (and worth repairing, given the prices of NOS or even good takeout ones).

A good place to plug spin-on filters. Oil leaks on top of the engine are often tricky to diagnose because the fan blows the oil everywhere. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

It has been a while since I installed my solid boots but I remember the cutout situation making sense when looking at it on the truck. One of the recesses on the outside is to accommodate the screw of the clamp so it does not dig into the boot.

I found that the rear end of my truck quieted down significantly with the upgraded dog bone ends installed. My theory is that the rubber bushings in the original ends store the energy that deforms them and feed it back to the axles. The Heim joint type ends don't do that. Less jumping around as...

The data plate is a particularly nice touch. M Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

This has been answered several times here. The yellow sticker means that the fuel density compensator (FDC) is bypassed. The engine is still multifuel capable. Nothing in its internals changed. It just won't compensate for different fuel viscosity. All that means is a little less power when...

@Gunfreak25 That sounded almost like a "boring" update, which is excellent news after all the excitement you had. Once you have the truck where it starts and runs and stops reliably, it will hopefully continue to deliver predictable and reliable service. The rest is gravy!

@Jeepsinker It was my first multi rebuild/refresh and I remember being super nervous about whether that bucket of bolts would hold together after startup, let alone driving, and whether I had forgotten to torque "that one bolt" to spec....somewhere in there.... lol It starts as soon as you...
