Ive had good luck with 12v rebuild cheapies from autozone. They take the current without complaint. The few times Ive had problems I was able to take the old one back for a rebuilt, in the box starter without question.
DSKchehy: you are going to be replacing your IP soon. Sell it or make the preperations.
Fuel on the rear tailgate sounds like the fuel that collects in the motor valley cause the IP is leaking and needs rebuilt. Get a bright flashlight and look on top of the motor. Suspect the injectors if the...
IF it is the original u joint they have to be heated. Theres a teflon bushing inside that really, really holds on well until its heated. YOU WOULDNT BELIEVE how well of a job that nylon/teflon works. When you heat it, you will hear the "pop" and then it will come out with a few light whacks of a...
I appreciate the comments gents.
55mph seems like the motor should come running thru the firewall. I'm guessing 33" meats would beb a better fit, look nicer, and give me a higher cruising speed
without trimming, building the axles, or lifting.
I'm sure with the boneyards here in the area I...
Can I pull the bottom of the bench out of a 1009 and drop it in my 1008? The ends of the 1008 seat currently in my pick up must ve had an elephant sit on them. The springs dont spring very much. Otherwise i will look for a regular 40/60 out of a surburban or pick up. Just seems that 1009 rear...
Was at TSC this summer with the top off (the truck, you pervs) and 2 corn fed but none the less cute counter girls came out to look at the truck. Had some lady eyeballing me and the blazer on another trip. I might just start hanging out there more often....
You fellas hadnt mentioned that it...
Let me know the tentative delivery date. Would like to be there to watch, help. Might have some useful friends who know how to operate heavy equipment.
I replaced the heater core ealier this year since I believe it was clogged. The above di-structions sound like what I need to do. However I dont see any vaccuum lines in the back. I only remember seeing the cables on the back of the housing. I certainly will chack and report back my findings...
Ive been trying to get heat out of my 1009 for about a week. Id replaced the radiator w/ a new old stock, still in the box Harrison a few months ago and added a coolant filter in line with the heater core intake. Thought this year would be warm commutes. Much to my dismay I have not had the...
If any of you boys make it out west let a brother know. Put me in your cell as well incase youre out this way and need roadside recovery 219 5124788. I have a buddy with a 5ton wrecker, my m35 has a tow bar, and Im pretty tight with a couple of motorpool gurus.
Theres a module inside the side of the transmission. Has a plastic gear that strips out and is usually a general PIA, pricey, but fairly easy to change. Its where the speedo cable connects. Pull one out of a used truck at a yard, and Id have to guess it would have to be out of any TH400. Might...
All the saints on a saltine...
Im diggin all over that truck. But do tell about how a fella could go about and do the nifty air intake mod. The pics arent telling me the details.
I sprayed truckbed liner (Duplicolor bed liner)... cheapy rhinoliner stuff at wallyworld. Its about 5.00 a can and not alot of hassle to put on. Sprayed the wheelwells and above the rears. Figure it wont hurt.
