Ok so I have a problem. I bought three new bolts. The one that I took the example bolt out of, I tried to install and tighten it, and the threads in the hole seem to be stripped. It tightens then loosens. The other two holes on the driver side dont seem to want to accept the bolt. The bottom one...

Hello, On June 16, 2012 at the Hopewell Valley Central High School, the HVCHS Auto Club is hosting its 4th Annual Car Show and Pig Roast. I would like to invite everyone on the SS forum to bring their MV's or just come and enjoy the vehicles, music and food! Details: What: Auto show and...

Nice. Well for now I'm good but once I start the rebuild and test the rotor/stator ill let you know. Thanks, Will

Haha thanks I just wanted to be sure. I haven't gotten the kit yet. Hopefully its there when I get home. Will

Oh so that plate in the retainer is a part to the retainer and it should be left (the part with the felt that is attached to the retainer)? Does it matter which way the new bearing goes in and I should add some grease to the built in retainer felt thing? Will

Alright, I'll add lube as needed. One thing, I got the rotor out and the bearing retainer and bearing out. The bearing is a sealed bearing, correct? It seems the backing plate of the bearing has stuck to the bearing retainer. Should I remove this (it is part of the bearing and will be...

I checked out the TM, I love those things.... I'll do the testing tomorrow, and hopefully if the kit arrives I'll assemble it. When installing the new bearings, do I or should I need to add grease to them or are they pre greased? If so, will my valvoline synthetic grease work with them? Will

Good stuff. Bearings punched out and pulley taken out. Further testing and dissassembly will occur when I get home from my class. Will

Awesome. Ill look into that when I get home. Thanks, Will

Thanks for all of the great info! I am doing the bearings later today. All parts are being replaced. I will absolutely replace all of the isolating washers in the correct locations. Do you know which TM has the test info?

I'm going to try impacting off the pulley and pressing out the bearing. Hope it goes well. Will

And could I use my ultrasonic cleaner on the rotor/stator? Will

Hello. I am rebuilding my alternators in my 1986 M1028. They are the original military alternators, and just due to age they need to be rebuilt (the truck has 34,000 miles on it). I have them apart, and have a few questions 1: To remove the rear bearing, should I knock it out or press it...

Alright sounds good. I'll go at it with a swivel socket and some extensions (which when combined with other extensions my friends and I call the "Alaskan Pipeline"!) I'll let you know hoe I make out with it. Will

Yeah, the top ones seem fine. What is the best way to access the top top ones, from the engine bay or underneath? I just have to tighten them. Will

Yeah, you're right on the size, that's what it seems to be to me. I'll get some new bolts tomorrow, throw them in and tighten all of the existing bolts. This is kind of unrelated, but should I retorque my starter bolts and brace bolts? The truck came with the starter/brace, I havent touched...

Luckily that one is still there, I'm just going to tighten it. I got the bottom passenger side one out for the example. A 14mm socket fit it perfectly, but when I got it out it has three dashes on it. This indicates that is is a grade 5, SAE bolt, not metric (correct?). I read that these trucks...

Alright, I'll go pull one out and get a few new grade 8 bolts and lock washers. I'll replace all of the ones I can easily get to. Thanks, Will

Hello. I looked under my 1986 M1028 today and noticed that two of the trans to engine bellhousing bolts are missing. I need to replace them. What size/type are they, and what is the torque spec for them? Do I need any form of washer for them? Will

Done deal - I'll either use the original wire or just get another 8 guage wire and wire it with that. I'll let you guys know how I make out with it. Once I receive the parts I ordered, the whole starter/GP system will be spot on and mostly brand new. Thanks, Will
