Do make sure you have the lower support bracket from the pump to the block. It will break the bracket eventually if all the brackets are not in place. Like I mentioned. Many of these parts are getting harder to find. The PS bracket was a $12. item back in the day. But like many other things on...

May I suggest getting the power steering pump belt tight in the same way. Do it first and then size your Generator 1 belt after that one is good and tight. Do NOT pry on the pump reservoir. Use the shaft or the bottom adjusting slot bracket area as a pry point. Poor design. Could have added a...

TH400 is vacuum shifted from throttle position and the VRV controlling the vacuum. The down shift is electric and controlled by an electric switch located directly above the throttle pedal in the cab. The Orange wire is attached mid ship of the transmission case on the left (drivers side). That...

My best luck on the V belts is to drive the truck to the parts store with the old squeaky/squealing belts and walk in and out with belts that fit as tight as possible when the alternators are in a fully collapsed position. I even go as far as turn the alternator with a wrench to get the belts...

You can limp any transmission home. You just take it easy and figure out the comfort zone and go from there. But per say there is no limp mode built into a TH400 transmission. I had a broken TH400 transmission on a CUCV plow truck and plowed snow for a day. The last thing that happened was no...

700 LB tongue weight is plenty that far back. I wouldn't want to tow a heavy trailer anymore without the aid of perfectly operational brake system. That old truck will have it tongue hanging out. Good Luck. Be Safe.

Texas is just a good. Just making an offer. I have so much stuff I will probably never need. Take Care and Be Safe. I do like trading. Money is everywhere. Trade is better in some situations. I like material possessions. So I trade items for items. Be Safe.

I think I may have a few of the used valves. Are you interested?

Where is BORN1619? That is my first question.

The front corners where the pan meets the timing cover and the rear edges where the pan meets the main bearing cap and the rubber seal goes on. I put a generous bead on all 4 areas. I hope that helps. Unlike the other sealants The Right Stuff does not peel and get all jammed up inside. It...

Not sure where you went wrong. I changed many and have been successful thus far. I use the Permatex Right Stuff in addition to the gaskets and the seal. I put a bead at all 4 corners. Are you sure you don't have valley leakage, valve covers, or vacuum pump leakage. I have seen this on several...

That wire on the front proportioning valve was a sensor to activate the BRAKE light when a fluid pressure issue was active. I seen the disconnected on a few and seem to remember something in the PS cartoon maintenance book about the light flickering but do not recall the fix. I always replaced...

You don't need it. I am thinking it is radio noise suppression diode of some sort. But that is about all I think I know about it. I removed them from vehicles and tossed them away. Good Luck. I hope that helps. Be Safe.

I was out working in my barn today. And outside setting up scaffolding to do some roof and chimney repairs to the old barn. It is 100 years old and it needs maintenance from time to time. I bought all the scaffolding to make my work easier. beats the pants off of ladder work and even a bucket...

After removing the injection pump and doing a visual of it I seen it was on since 2003. So 17 years setting or on the road the pump needs replaced. I made an order with DCP in Memphis for a rebuilt one. I have this old pump all boxed up and ready to ship. I don't care if it is the same one or...

I failed to report that I installed the inner fender apron rubber skirts. I recommend these being installed. It keeps a lot of road debris, water, snow and slush off the engine. My particular concern is the glow plugs. It gets enough slush and snow on them that they are awash in moisture and...

I am not going to remove a fuse box from a good serviceable complete harness. But I do have a scrap wiring harness that I can cut the fuse holder box out of. How pristine is a 36 year old serviceable used front wiring harness? I have one in an M1009 carcass that had 13K miles on it and has been...

I know a guy that has that CUCV wiring harness part. He is right here with me. Let me know if I can assist. 1 unhacked wiring harness from a CUCV M1009.

I mean a couple of expired Alabama license plates sent my way are redeemable for the Black Out switches. That goes for any other takers. I like trading. Be Safe.
