Good call, what is the weather like across the pond this week? I think you start to get that after glow when it gets into the 40's or lower. Your mileage may vary...plus you have that whole metric thing to convert to. Chip Chip :)

Obviously trying to diag across the internet is tough but it sounds like you have old slipping drivebelts and a glow controller than is cycling back on when it shouldn't be. Am I the only one that is reading that here? No one really has addressed why the voltmeter would go from green to red...

From your description, it sounds like your GP system is turning on after the initial cycle on start up. If the GP's come back on, your volt meter will go down due to electrical load. Your GENs may complain too if the truck is at an idle, belts loose, idle speed low, etc. That would be the only...

You'll probably do fine then. Low spline neck down axle shafts in a housing that is known to bend under abuse going to a non-HD diff carrier with a drop in locker...usually spells disaster :) Run it!

That's funny! I agree, pull the shaft first before you order. Confucious say 30 year old truck have many hands in it! Either way, I would probably shy away from a locker, especially a lunch box locker for a 10 bolt. The carriers are weak and the locker adds stress to that. The shafts are...

Thank you for posting that up, very informative regarding DRL's. I just do not like how they have turned DRL's into being so bright that they need to be deactivated for the turn signal to work. Seems confusing and counterproductive. It grabs my attention which means it works but it also is very...

Agreed Sometimes they need to be covered too! This and most LEO's (not all) have no idea what the law really is and make up one to enforce. Seams to be a common problem with automotive state inspectors too. I remember when the Jeep Liberty Renegade model came out with the roof lights, a few...

I have a traditional conversion lense that came with a standard H4 bulbs. I don't even think they have DOT markings on them so legality is questionable. Since everyone now has LED headlamps which are focused like laser beams when oncoming, backup lamps that stay illuminated when the driver...

I personally would go with something compatible with 24v to keep any extra draw on the entire charging system and not just the 12v side. My plan is to add some headlamp relays, install 24v H4 bulbs in my conversion lense.

Have you been up I84 right at the NY border? I think the DOT on both sides have lost there minds... If that doesn't get you, the calcium slurry in the winter will eat a brand new car in about 3 years. Chances are you won't make your trip home :)

That would be an interesting poll, who has been able to drive all the way home successfully without any repairs from a GL purchase? Even private sales are questionable because many people have different ideas of what mint, driveable, and good condition are compared to me. When my M1031 showed...

Agreed! No one ever wants to pay a technician to fix something but everyone complains when they realize they bought a lemon :)

I always thought women cost a lot of money but it turns out 4340 chromoly, diesel fuel, and plate steel adds up quickly! Women are certainly cheaper than trucks, airplanes, boats, and dirtbikes. One exception though, I never had one leave me! :)

WAIT...you said 0.05v on the input side of the relay? That is what I read along with 0.05v at the GP terminal? Can you be a little more specific about your test locations? Assuming you have a bone stock GP system with a resistor bank, did you do a visual inspection? I want to assume that the...

I think you could only arrive at this diagnosis if you pulled the drums, inspected the rear brakes, made adjustements, and verified with a road test. If your base brakes are not operating correctly, you can't blame it on the valve. I've seen lots of guys with Toyota bend them or make adjustments...

If you plan on actually using your truck as a cargo mover, than I would probably keep it or install a manual one that was mentioned. I think I bought one off Jegs or Summit the last time I did it. Sure you can get away without it but dialing in your rear drums (especially drums since they tend...

That may be a great utility setup as it gives you a place to stand when working on the engine and possibly some storage recessed behind the bumper. I would also say that anyone looking to increase off road capability which is typically done with the addition of a winch is going to stay away from...

I really hope you are joking because I certainly was...

I'm amazed at how my M1031 on Goodyear MT's goes from being an absolute useless stuck brick in 2wd to tank in 4wd, not to mention these also have Detroits out back as well. I hate to say it but my Subaru Forester with a center and rear limited slip diffs on bald tires will run circles around any...

Even though installing A/C on could run upwards of $1000 if you are not sourcing civy K5 parts and possibly converting to 12v to get the oem bracketry to fit, I think it is a wise investment. Especially if your Cuck is pretty clean, I think it adds value and comfort which are good resell points...
