After a lot of tender loving care and time consuming fabrication my gauge cluster conversion is almost finished. I removed the Gen 1 light when I did the 12 volt conversion last year. And as it turns out 2-1/16" aftermarket gauges will fit into this gauge housing with some serious but easy...

My left turn signal will not flash, yet it lights up. This started when I replaced the floor vent seal. I unhooked the ground wire attached to the parking brake assembly. (First off, is this actually a ground wire as described in other posts?) At first the problem was intermittent followed by...

I'm licking my wounds tonight after spending all day attempting to install a cd player in my m1009. The problem that I'm dealing with is the wiring. I can't seem to find a constant power source in the fuse block for my yellow wire which maintains the stereos settings and its clock. Does anyone...

It turned out to be a damaged printed circuit board. Who ever the military mechanic was who worked on...

Has anyone done a Banks Turbo charger conversion along with an aftermarket AC kit installation? My plan is to convert the truck over to a 12 volt system with a single alternator, and install both the Banks Turbo and one of those aftermarket AC kits. I need to know what alternator I should...
