From I've been reading, a quarter turn is too much unless you have a wind maker under the hood. I will probably just leave the screw alone. I will just replace the o-rings. Any other words of wisdom? Does the top cover require a gasket or is it RTV? I want to make sure I get whatever service...

My truck has 6700 miles on the odometer and 5 hours on the generator hobbs meter. I believe it. Everything on the truck is clean and tight. If it had 106,700 miles, you would pull the shifter down and guess what gear it's in. I'm figuring since the truck has such little usage, the throttle...

Sounds like a little precision involved but better than having to remove the pump. Thanks for shining some light on this. I will tackle that job by myself and save a few hundred dollars. Anyone have a recommendation for ordering Stanadyne DB2 parts other than a GM dealer?

Today was getting some housekeeping done. I pulled the front driveshaft and clearanced the CV yoke. It was slightly binding at full droop on the lift. I removed a bit of material and now it spins smooth. I also put a little blue loctite on the driveshaft fasteners which always is some good...

Mine is leaking and I am debating on whether to just put a brand new pump in for piece of mind or replace the shaft seals. How hard was the job to disassemble the pump?

WalMart and Tractor Supply have been cheapest around me unless you catch Napa doing a sale. Napa by me is also running a sale till the end of the month if you buy an air filter, you will get a filter free.

If you download the TM for the generator head, it is a pretty standard 12 lead triple phase head. You can reconfigure the leads to be in a delta or wye configuration and also single and triple phase along with voltage. From what I understand, if you convert to single phase, you lose about 1/3 of...

The PTO is in great shape. I'm very happy I didn't come in to the shop this morning to a huge puddle of ATF. Looks nice and dry today...yay! I think as far as the generator goes, I need to first tighten the drivebelt. I have confirmed that the outlet does generate power when plugging in a...

Already beat you to that one. I ordered up some nice new zinc door locks from RockAuto the first week I had the truck. The locks keep the honest people honest. The 9mm or 12ga. under my bed keep the thiefs from being thiefs:shock:

My PTO drive was leaking a decent amount of fluid so I did some investigating. It was dripping from a plug that has a slot for a screwdriver. I thought maybe it was loose so I turned it with a flat head. That pretty opened the flood gate. I removed the PTO and it turns out that is a shift shaft...

So Jets1959 schooled me again, I did the doghead mod for some extra security.

I have run numerous sets of Treadwrights on my rigs over the years and will always question buying new tires. I currently run a set of 31" guard dogs on my 4Runner. You can see what they look like here: 95' 4Runner 5VZ IFS build - Page 4 - Pirate4x4.Com I have a student running them on his...

So the replacement CUCV Electric starter relay isn't any better than the junk stock one? It has an extra terminal so I figured it was a revised part. I remember reading that the newer CUCV's do not need a doghead mod. I can always go spend the big money at NAPA for the other style solenoid. DOH!!!

After installing my lift, I noticed a small sag to the driver's side. So I ordered up a set of new 8+1 stock rear springs from Eaton Springs. I also ordered up a rear U-bolt flip kit and HD shackles from ORD. Since it was on the lift, I finished changing out all of the fluids, cleaned my...

Sweet rig Jets1959, I appreciate the info on the oil cap. I picked one up on RockAuto.com:beer:

This is more than a bushing issue, was a 2+" lean. Just ordered a set from Eaton, in stock and ready to rock. I also ordered a set of super shackles and a u-bolt flip kit from ORD.

Thanks guys

Only piece of the K5 in a scrap yard that doesn't break down and rust.:)

I just lifted my M1031 with 4" front springs and a rear shackle flip. The truck still sags a bit on the driver side. I need a new set of non-lifted rear springs. I can't seem to find any forum feedback on what's out there. Seems like the only two are John R. Spring and Dayton. Anyone running...
