RE: Re: RE: Smoking Alternator what wire were you attaching when the sparking started? a picture would be best.

Re: RE: Smoking Alternator You cant do that on a cucv, they are wired different from the other m series trucks. The entire truck with the exception of the starter runs on 12volts.

iirc they are 32oz most bottles are good for 100gal. just divide the bottle into five parts.

expensive, but at least you found the cause. How many miles were on your truck?

yup just about 1/5th the bottle, a little more or less wont hurt.

Mike can you show a measuremet of how far rear of the alt the compressor sits, I think that the kit would clear on a truck that had the 6.5L turbo setup on it, and possibly the later style 6.2L Banks kit.

I want a set of those kick panels for my truck, those look factory [thumbszup]

all diesels have some blow-by, its normal to have a slight haze. it you have more than that, you may consider getting a compression test done to check the cylinder pressures (that tells you which cylinder is the culprit).

correct, it doesnt matter at all.

notice how that is somewhat shaped like a triangle [thumbzup] Its just a distribution block, doesnt have to be anything special.

all they did was bolt on two extra tires, nothing special here, except that you'd have to pull them off to drive it home.

i bet he has different gearing from ours :)

if your engine is dead an electric winch aint gonna pull you very far, the batteries will HATE you.

RE: yup... For higher altidues, a turbo is about your best bet.

hehe, you need to torque nuts holding the rim halves to different specs depending on which rim you have, i dont recall for the 8bolt rims.

I looked at ORD's kitm but ended up going with the one from Northwest Fabworks. Great mod though, makes a world of a difference.

wet pictures are cool [thumbzup] makes the most faded CARC look new ;) I like the stance of it, although i am not a fan of those tires. I see he did the rear disc conversion as well, one of the best mods ever for those brakes. I like the HD bumper, but tell him to get a grill guard on that...

the CDR valve looks like a tuna can, and is on the passenger side of the engine, on a bracket from the intake. follow the hose that comes out of the oil filler tube, it will lead you to the CDR valve. Please see the other thread currently discussing CDR for part # info, as it seems that the...
