75/90 works Since you have an M1028, it has a clutch type front limited slip diff which requires an additive. Most parts stores will not carry it and even though the gear lube bottle says LSD compatible, I would not rely on it. You can buy the additive online but the easiest place would be to...

Things to keep in mind -a pusher electric fan on the condenser will supplement heat transfer at low engine/vehicle speeds -replacing an old accumulator which may no longer be able to absorb moisture in the refrigerant -remove the expectation of seeing sub 50 degree vent temps when it is...

Realistically 12v to the injection pump and ATF in the TH400, it will get home! What is the destination in Portland? Not much four wheeling in that neck of the woods. I highly recommend taking Rt. 1 north starting in NH. It is a great snaky road along the coast. Lots of traffic but great...

I'm right off I95 near the ME/NH border. I've got an M1031 full of tools. I will be traveling a few days at a time but I'm also on vacation as well that month. If you run into troubles, always can give you a hand. Where are you headed in ME? Last Sunday a passed a grou of Mass Cucks (1009 and...

IMO...money better spent elsewhere. The stock brake system is pretty good as far as hydraulics go. The OEM works well and can be rebuilt or reman'd on the cheap.

Check bulbs and sockets...also could be bad connection inside hazard or turn signal switches

A very flat surface (preferably concrete), a plumb bob, chalk, and a tape measure will answer your questions. Take a few points on each side then compare. You may also be able to dig up some service measurements if you know someone who works at a collision center.

Hard to believe it happened twice. It could happen if the shaft hasn't spun in years and was never greased but more than likely it would break free before an cracking the tcase. Now an over greased slip won't collapse and do the same thing. A slip won't really seize in a non-ifs truck because it...

Sounds like you should spend some time investigating to find out the extent of the damage or just be done with it. Could be a broken flex plate which makes very bad sounds, is a common failure, and not super expensive to fix. At the other end the crankshaft may have snapped being a complete...

Troubleshoot it using the manual. You also could have gotten a bad component installed during the rebuild. Anything is possible so spend quality time troubleshooting. I think you will regret doing a 12v conversion.

I think a decent non-hacked up 09 should go for $3k-$5k depending on condition. Expect normal repairs and maintenance on all and the higher end getting solid body parts. Personally, I think people who pay $8k+ for an 09 are just plain stupid or really have a fetish for one. They simply just...

A factory AC Delco for me from Napa works great even with the 37's and no wheel weights. Think it was $30.

Sometimes that happens especially on something so small and multiples coming from different warehouses. Belts vary depending on which brand you buy. If you are looking at Dayco belts, they are pretty cheap compared to a more premium brand. You also get a choice sometimes of items that are...

Those are very generic statements. Typically a lean mixture will run hotter EGT's where rich mixtures actually burn cooler than lean ones. Small carb's piston aircraft have mixture adjustemets where a pilot changes the mixture based on EGT and rpm. Now in a turbodiesel, the EGT goes up with...

Shunts would go on the charge wire for each alternator.

Walker stuff is ok quality, nothing near OEM but a good starting point. Let this be a lesson that when it comes to exhaust you either buy OEM (big $$$ and not available for older stuff) or you buy typical aftermarket (parts store quality) and make it work. A welder is your friend. A welder being...

The current draw will take horsepower but the alternator only takes so much current for the fielding circuit to keep system voltage at a set point. In other words, the alternator isn't consuming horsepower all the time, only when it's pumping electrons which is under load.

Do yourself favor...scrap whatever you have for a pair of freshly fresh group 31's. I'd recommend rebuilding both Gens as well. Then go and clean the bulb sockets in the dash. A dog head mod (fancy phrase for installing a better starter solenoid) would be another safe bet. Once this is done...

What EXACTLY will you be running? A stock Cuck Vee charging starting system is pretty robust.

Heat them up to melt the plastic. Be careful as the hot plastic tends to always spooge out towards your face. A hammer is your best friend for freeing up stubborn joints. My opinion, spend the extra dough on genuine Spicer joints.
