Sounds to me like a voltage regulator problem but it is odd that BOTH alt. do it. Driving 55 or any speed should not have an effect on charging voltage.

When pulling the wiper linkage out there's no need to remove the hood! Just remove the two hinge bolts on each side while a helper holds the front of the hood up, once bolts are out just let the hood pivot on the springs and lower the front. The rear of the hood will be up in the air and easy to...

I had a mouse get into my 'can' once, I think it rode in on the Kubota. I found it laying on the floor all dried up and mummified. Mine sits in part shade part sun and gets HOT! I painted the roof with silver mobile home roof coating and that seemed to help a lot. When I got the can I did back...

You should be able to break that silicon seal, if you can't pop it loose with a screwdriver (without bending it) try heating it up.

Straightening frames is why body shops have frame machines. Most shops nowadays are equipped for unibody and don't have the clamps or the equipment for a full frame vehicle. Or the trained personnel. They are out there and your truck may be fixable (can't tell from just pics) the insurance...

When it dies is it just instantly shutting off like the key was switched off or does it surge and then die? It's not really clear from the OP. When it dies have you checked for fuel BEFORE cranking it over? Or after? It may be a fuel problem but dying at the same turn seems a little odd, like...

That's why I have one, might even have a spare somewhere out in the garage NO it's not for sale.

I don't remember what years but some suburbans came with a short "auxiliary" cable that was about 18" long and just screwed onto the OEM cable under the truck. I used one to extend the cable on one of my trucks.

Do what you want, just don't paint it flat black! You'll end up cooking yourself. I served and one of my trucks is yellow and white with flames and lots of chrome and the other is a semi gloss tan. Flat paint and semi gloss hides LOTS of imperfections.

Sure, not a problem.

I just read this whole thread, for me that's really something cause I usually just browse! It's amazing how a simple little project can get big real quick. Been there and still doing it.(shaking my head) I never realized you had put that much time and effort into the mule, one thing you didn't...

You use the word "pop" and "over pressure", does the heater core actually pop open as in blow up? I wonder if you have some kind've blockage in the cooling system, the first thing that comes to mind is the lower radiator hose may be collapsing while driving. The lower hose has suction especially...

I found a red/white LED light from a cop car, works great and is almost to bright.

I have two 6.2's sitting in my driveway right now, one is bone stock the other I rebuilt(stock) with the exception of balancing the rods and pistons (rings on) I also 'ported and polished 'heads and manifolds. It is the smoothest and quietest 6.2 I've ever seen. I do have to admit tho I never...

A leaking axle seal will do the same thing, lot of people think oil on brake shoe will make em slip, WRONG! They'll lock up at the lightest touch of the pedal and then as the oil is burned off work normally (unless there really soaked)

Shipping such a large item will be expensive, look around your local salvage yards I bet they have a dozen or more to choose from.

Yeah! just make sure you replace the glue every year or so, it dries up at the most inopportune times!

That looks GREAT! I was wondering if there's room for a ammo can on the left side? That would be a great place to keep a snatch block, tree strap and gloves.

CUCVUS, I gotta come down and see you 'collection' some day, I've got a lot of parts but you sure have me beat!

Using a cut out panel would be the hot ticket! To bad you can't out it all in one piece! have an overlapping seam just shy of the rear edge of the door post and then wherever you want on the roof itself, I'd even drill out the spot welds on the "donor" part and grind the welds out on the old...
