congrads on the purchase, I live about 30min away from the base and would be happy to come out and give you a hand when you come to get it.

would it be possible to use 24v plugs and run straight 24v to them ( bypass the resister bank)

yeah, finally it would be so much better if they were seperated out by groups [thumbzup] [thumbzup] [thumbzup] [thumbzup] :jumpin: [thumbzup] [thumbzup]

they are DEKA 6TL's absorbed glass matt batteries rated at 850Amps at 32 750Amps at 0 not really that strong of a battery, considering the starter on these trucks and the glow plugs. IF ONLY A FARM BATTERY FIT PROPERLY aua

I got a set of glow plugs from SSDIESEL (search google) and they are supposed to be self limiting (NO SWELLING) and they are supposed to heat better than the 60g's i may have fried a plug or two, but thats because of an electrical issue that i had a few weeks ago. i am in the proccess of...

it just means that the guts are not grounded to the alternator outer housing, instead they are grounded to a lug on the back of the alt.

thanks for the help troubleshooting it, all of my issues have been electrical related except for the warped rotor that ate two sets of wheel bearings before I figured out the cause.

yes they are, just be sure tha if you need it rebuilt that they keep the isolated ground, otherwise you will have about 8 fusible links to replace under the hood and the problem of finding a new set of resisters for the glow plugs. Thats what happened to me. the #$@#@ manager didn't want to...

the one in Clare sounds interesting live to close to Selfridge ANG to NOT go Barring a natural disaster or a family emergancy I'LL BE THERE

I just love the idea of a factory vehicle that has a full belly pan. [thumbzup]

thats one of the reasons that you are supposed to put the truck into 4x4 and drive it a few miles every month

I'll check when I'm out there on wednesday, maybe selling a trans/t-case to armada

does the tag reside in the same spot on both front and rear axles?

My buddy has a lot of rockwell axles (both fronts and rears) sitting in his yard, but we don't know where to look on the exle for indentification. Where should we look? What models of rockwell axles did the military use? If they end up being ex-mil axles he would prolly end up selling all but a...

I've been thinking about getting a turbo for my truck, but haven't seen one for the right price. :) And before I do that I'll have to either get a different trans or bigger tires so the speed increase is worth it. I had found a source of Allison 1000 transmissions rebuilt for $1500 with no...

prices seem to be in the neighborhood of $110 a piece

not really if he is looking at the deka 6tl's like i have in mine, but of course I got mine for free with the two parts blazers . :)

I replaced the cable from the rear batt. to the bus on the firewall and cleaned up the connections. Everything seems to be working much better now. :) I need to get a new voltmeter, the needle on mine is sticking at the bottom and I have to flick it to get it to read. I don't think that it's...

thanks for the insight, and BTW the letter is in the mail for you. ;)

I forgot to mention that while driving the voltage guage is dancing up and down sometimes, other times it will hold steady at about 18-22 volts. When the voltage drops the lights dim on the truck really bad. Its sitting lower than it used to before the meltdown. It sticks and i have to tap the...
