What is the cylinder wall coated with?

Dodge maintained the correct bolt pattern the latest. I have Dodge 17" steels on my truck. 2003-2013 8 lugs are correct for the Dana 60 axle.

These guys sell OEM parts for all major pump manufacturers. I would start with them. https://www.diamonddiesel.com/

I run Marathon generators in my fleet. I have 8 that were removed from service at 35000 hours and 14 others currently in service with hours ringing from 3,000-30,000. I have never had a rectifier failure of any type. I did have a stator failure. With that said, Marathon generators are...

What I need is the entire back piece of the dash, the white/light blue-green part. Mine is crumbling. I wouldn't mind having the other bits, I would like a speedo to tinker with as I have some thoughts on how to fix the bouncing needle.

You have me interested. The circled area has broken off of mine. I have a new pointer assembly but the track is missing.

All of our shops are closing. They are too expensive to operate..I believe you have the same problem. The things you know about USA are quickly changing. Just keep that in mind. Otherwise, to avoid special tools you only need a band saw. Get pre-formed bends and cut them up to get the angles...

K30 and CUCV except M1009 chassis, exhaust are the same. Stainless steel exhaust parts aren't exactly on the shelf here in USA either. Nearly every needs to be custom made. Out here on the USA west coast the custom shops are inundated with vintage Ferrari restorations so it's difficult to get...

Your new starter is a 28MT. That should be a nice upgrade over the old one.

If it has sat for an extended period of time and the fuel pump is older, a bad throttle shaft seal will allow the fuel injection pump to drain back into the tank. You'll need to go through the priming process as if you put a new injection pump on to get everything going. A new lift pump can mask...

150k miles at least. The throttle shaft seals go bad which makes for hard starting.

A crossover pipe in the dual exhaust would be the next step. I was about to do that until my head gasket let go and now I'm going to cross over in a turbo.

The ONLY problem with the stock resistor system is that a bad glow plug causes the others to burn out as well. This is really minor as most replace their glow plugs as a set anyways.

Good batteries should hold 12.6 volts, even after a long period of time. If the battery dropped to 11.9 volts and you don't have a parasitic draw (these trucks don't in stock trim), then your battery is bad. Typical life expectancy for a lead acid battery is about 7 years. If you live in a hot...

What is the condition of the cluster? My gear position indicator portion of my cluster crumbled and I am looking to replace it. I have a NOS pointer and cable assembly but nothing to attach it to. I want my wife to be able to drive the truck and counting the clicks doesn't work for her

Most of us have hoists that go up and down but few of our hoists travel. That is why vertical install is easiest.

Easiest way to put a rotor in a generator is to stand the unit vertically on end and lower the rotor in.

Air tanks do not get x-rayed. They are fabricated using a qualified welding procedure and then hydro tested. ASME Section XIII covers fabrication of pressure vessels.

You shouldn't be able to see the normal sparks from the brushes or solenoid from the outside of the starter, those locations are all enclosed. NDT is most likely correct about a loose external connection.

My 1986 truck has most of the original rubber. It's good stuff. Be careful buying aftermarket. You need to spec the hose properly, the stuff on the rack at the auto parts store is not the right stuff, especially for return lines as the fuel is hot. The trucks came from the factory with Viton...
