JF, I plug my truck in (600w block heater) and i have no engine fan until the truck is up to 160F (have the electric fans on a thermostat). plus the turbo helps to add heat to the metal block for sure.

there should be a front bracket that attaches to a stud on the starter and a bolt on the block, otherwise you will keep having issues, just ask for the starter brace at the gm dealer, there is a different part number if you have the direct drive (old style) vs. the new gear reduction starter...

even the rotors are the same between the SRW and DRW trucks.

I have heat after roughly 5 city blocks :p

lol, for the 1ton all the pads and rotors are the same.

i had a cracked cone when my starter died a few years ago, heard that they'd seen a lot of bad castings on that starter. you do have the bracket on the front of the starter to the engine block though, right?

ah, mike maybe modify the plate and the engage lever somewhat.

no problems,

its like covering the radiator with cardboard, restricts the amount of air blowing through so the vehicle can heat up. I dont have any issues because i have electric fans that dont come on till the truck is at operating temp. so i have heat very quickly.

you can get a set of hubs from a dually truck and swap them on to your axle instead of the spacers, since the dually hubs move the wheel mounting surface 2" out.

I will look at my friends m1009 tomorrow for you.

go suspension lift, not body, trust me on this, body lifts look retarded and spring lifts are safer.

ok, in that case back the bolt out some or you may have to get a longer bolt.

I'm locking this thread, If you have anything constructive to add to it, PM me.

ok for me.

just do it in a post, then edit the post, copy and paste your link into the signature.

thanks for posting the pics sermis, the bolt that adjusts the stop should be double nutted, loosen the nut turn the bolt tin to increase the turning angle then lock the nut down again, you may even need a shorter bolt if the stock one bottoms out, but fyi dont make it too much shorter, or you...

RE: Pictures of the tranny in the 79 K5 a 205 can have 2 low if you modify the shift rail by grinding it slightly, its been done many a time, you can also have front drive only just by modifying the shift rails and getting a third shift handle.

look on the inner C of the knuckle on the axle tube, there may be one on each side.
