Keep your stockers and rebuild them. It's really not a hard job. Hardest part is getting the pulley nut off and even that is easy. Just take your time, take a lot of photos, and go step by step. You'll be into a full rebuild on both for under $100 and a Saturday morning.

I thought about the NV4500 for the exact reasons too but couldn't pull the trigger. Everything I read about that trans is the gear ratio gaps do not work well with a low rpm low power engine. I'm 100% satisfied with the 4L80 so I'm going to keep it.

I think it's an air sealing thing and not the material itself. My truck takes a good amount of time to warm up but it will boil you out of the cab in the coldest of temps. The grille cover made a huge difference in keeping operating temp while going down the road. As in it actually comes up to...

Stuck starter solenoid under the dash or on the starter.

I have the largest aux cooler ever made with three fans on it. Mounted to the side in front of the saddle tank. I have an M1031 so the box doesn't obstruct it. My setup runs a thermostat to regulate temps and the factory cooler is no longer connected, complete stand alone system. It runs dead...

Yeah zero interest rate, money being watered down at a record rate mostly in the last few years, people sitting home with nothing to do collecting a check, and a shortage of everything. Not a great year for asset acquisition. Don't worry, over spenders will need to be relieved of their mistakes...

Dog seems pretty stoked! Yeah starts right up and immediately moves into the "midget with hammer smashing his way out of engine block" noises.

You are working ina foreign country without US support and your first choice of transportation is a 38 year old CUCV? I'd scrap that idea pretty quickly and pick up some wheels locally or buy something built to US spec that most closely resembles what is available locally. Which probably makes...

I'm sure your stock shaft will reach with 4" of lift. You will be more concerned with how it's vibrating over the length. Most kits will include a drop spacer kit for the crossmember but it's a bad idea. Best way to do it is with a CV rear shaft. When going that route like mentioned just...

I see a lot of these on the standby units I work on, especially the Generac and Winco units. Handful of them I've replaced due to leaks. One burned out because a freeze plug leaked draining the coolant, then the heater went full on meltdown... Other then that pretty good. Probably can't find...

Do you think running it dry caused the issue? I also have never flown anything with a tailwheel 🤣

No doubt What do you have for a trans controller? Any way you can plug a laptop in and see when the TCC is being commanded on and off? You may be able to drive down the road and toggle it manually. That would be a great way to see if it's responding correctly. Realistically it's either the...

Sounds like the converter is not coming out of lockup. Try unplugging the lockup solenoid pin or tune it for no lockup and see if it goes away. Granted mine is turned this way, my rpm will stay up as I decel giving me engine braking. Then when I cross the 1500 rpm threshold it unlocks and...

It has the little white stripe on the locking hub. Gotta be military. Like it was mentioned, the brakes and springs all smell like government spec.

Let me know where you mount it. I was under the truck today and there is no real good location. I have the same exact valve. I'm almost at the point of wanting to mount it under the frame somewhere that is still easy to get at the handle without getting under the truck. That way it's way easier...

Welcome to the circle of life... Although at some point you get to just enjoy driving it.

Would just be easier to install a Suburban 40 gallon tank. The only good way of doing it is to use a dual circuit ball valve so both the supply and return are switched at the same time. I think you potentially can get into cross fedding on hills as mentioned. A lot of guys run an aux tank in...

I think the chain drive cases have a crush washer. I don't remember because both my trucks have real transfer cases. Joking... That would mean they have straight threads (cut parallel and not it's personal orientation) on the bolt because the washer does the sealing. My 205 had a tapered plug...

The 1 ton has a taller sectional height near the center like trans crossmember area. The crossmember is pretty much flat. The lighter duty variants have a crossmember that drops down a bit because the frame height isn't as tall. Yeah I've seen no difference in material thickness. IMO none of...

As crisp as one can get from a 37 year old flaky chrome plated plastic switch 🤣 I'd vote for a bad switch if it's killing both of the low or high beams. Probably upstream like the fuse or switch. I haven't tackled adding relays to the headlight circuit yet. I did do conversion lenses on both...
