NJ has minimum and maximum heights for license plate mounting, something you might want to check as well. Can't be higher then 49" here so the back "bumper" is out..plus the tailgate would smash the light.

I've been trying to figure out where to place the rear license plate on my truck. I bought a license plate light with a mount(license plate lights are required here in NJ), but I haven't decided where I can put it. I was thinking on the back side of the drivers side mudflap(on the steel part)...

I painted a few spots on the truck where the paint had flaked off. I used the paint codes I found on here for the 383 green. Either the truck is really faded, or it was painted with a different color. Obviously it needs a second coat(there was a sticker under the green paint, it appears the...

On the solenoid, there are three essential wires connecting to it(there might be a few more, but they aren't required for the starter to crank). One hot all the time, one to the starter, and the "signal" from the start lever(through the PCB box). The solenoid is essentially a big relay. Get...

Just looked at the electrical system on the P2P software. Looks to me like it would either be the starter solenoid or the protective control box(black box on the firewall). Personally, I'd check the solenoid since you said you're still getting a click. The click you hear is typically the...

Got around to working on the truck today. Weather was beautiful. I got a 55 gallon plastic barrel from my friend which I cut in half to use as a drain pan. I drained the coolant into it. While I was letting the coolant drain, I went around and pulled off all of the CTIS hoses to each wheel...

I made up pig tails which made it much easier to hook up the connections to the battery switch and the starter switch. Fired up the truck, all the gauges appear to be working correctly, and the lights all work. Only problem is...the main reason I pulled the instrument panel was to fix the...

Man, these connections to the instrument panel have zero slack in them. They are almost under strain when connected. I have all of the gauges, lights and air lines connected. Now I'm working on the battery and start switch. I'm seriously thinking about making up a pig tail so there is a bit...

Well after work today I worked on the truck a bit. I sanded down the area around where the instrument cluster bolts in, and painted it up. I took out the passenger side windshield wiper motor, took it all apart, cleaned it, regreased it, and put it back together. I sanded it down and painted...

Got the instrument panel, the gauge bezels all painted up, and put the gauges back into the panel(after I cleaned all of the dust off them). Looks much better then it did. Today I mainly tackled the leaking windshield wiper control valve. I pulled it out, disassembled it, cleaned it, and put...

Pulled the instrument panel out today. What a pain in the neck..so many wires! Those bullet connectors are a pain too! I broke a few, so I have to figure out how I'm going to hook up the wires again. I labeled every wire so I know right where to hook it up. I pulled it out so it would be...

I'm way down in Cape May County. Outside of Sea Isle/Ocean City. I know on the drive home it wasn't smoking(my dad was riding behind me, he said it was running very clean- pretty much no smoke at all), but it has just been on cold starts(not warmed up..I let it idle for about a 1/2 hour and...

Yeah, I knew that, the guy at the local Napa said he couldn't find one in his computer. Was hoping someone had a part number.

Does anyone know what headlight bulb these trucks take? I've searched around, couldn't find anything specific.

Data plate on my M923A2 says 21,550. I'll find out if that is accurate when I take it to the landfill with some brush I have to dump this spring.

I have no idea. Does it say somewhere? There was a tag on the engine that had a rebuild date. There are only two MWO tags in the door jam. One MWO is for the ABS, and the other I can't tell as they didn't list the entire number.

I tightened down the clamps around the wye where coolant was seeping. I also hooked up a fitting so I can charge the air system from the shop compressor and check for leaks. I found a couple pretty good leaks underneath, one on a 90 going into the transfer case, and the fitting coming off the...

The engine has a tag on it saying it was rebuilt in 2008 or 2011(I forget which now). I'll have to check the coolant for bubbles tomorrow. I have the tool to pressurize the cooling system, but I don't think I have the right adapter for it. It didn't blow much(if any) white smoke today at...

Haven't had any oil come out of the tank drains. I'll have to check the expello valve on the air dryer.
