I just got a quote from my local stanadyne service center of $900 and change to rebuild an IP. Seems like I see prices online for refurbished ones in $500-600 range.
Those who have gone either route, what kind of prices have you paid.?
I feel better dealing with a local authorized shop incase...
I have been using Tapatalk with this forum since I became a member. It works really well. They just did a major upgrade to the app and now, when I try to upload a photo there is a message saying the site administrator has disabled photo uploading from the app. Is this just the upgrade being...
Well the unfortunate happened. My 1028 is not so happy. I was rear ended on my way home from work. I left work just before 2 am, bars close at 2 here. I was in a 30 mph zone going between 25-30. I was slammed into by a car that was estimated by several witnesses to be traveling over 80 mph...
Before I go any farther let me say, I am not advocating or encouraging this, it is not the proper way to run and may fail at any point. I just want to share my experience for informational purposes.
The back story: shortly after getting my '28 gen 1 light came on. I rebuilt it and was back in...
There is a metal ring between the yoke and retainer to the housing.
It freely spins and jiggles in place and jingles as I drive down the road.
What I've seen so far in the TM doesn't show or mention it.
It doesn't seem to be a problem of any kind, however the jingle sound is annoying. Is...
It's hot as **** down here in South Texas and the vinyl seats are just about unbearable even with a seat cover. I came across the rear bench seat from a 2012 Sierra Crew Cab local on craigslist. In great shape, cloth seat with center fold down arm rest / cup holder, great price. Would this seat...
I ordered a custom molded floor from stockinteriors.com and went to put it in today. It's a vinyl floor, textured kind of like rhino linings, pre-molded for all the humps, just cut to fit around 4x4 shifter and bolt holes.
The bench seat came out no problem. I couldn't get the seatbelts to...
I hate to come off as a lazy bastard, but, well ... if the shoe fits. Anybody know what size nut #30 off the top your head? If not I'll crawl my lazy butt under the truck and find out. I heard a jingling sound and peaked under the truck and my linkage is dangling there. Some of y'all talk...
I have an annoying vibration right at idle that I've been trying to find. It sounds like its coming from the starter area. I crawled under the truck this evening to just start checking/tightening bolts. The butt end of the starter, pointing towards front of vehicle has a little bolt/stud...
When using the parts manual to find bolts, the part number never leads me to a answer. For example right now I'm trying to find the bolts that hold the fast idle solenoid. -20P shows part # 11501095 bolt, machine. If I stick that in google I don't find results that show what size bolt it is...
Just before the thanksgiving holiday, on my way home from work, I was cruising my 1028 around 70 mph. All of sudden my transmission vanished. No thunk or thud or shudder, rpm's just shot up. I coasted to the side of the road where I determined that I still had 1st and reverse, just couldn't get...
I'm missing one bolt connecting my transmission to engine that I would like to replace. The parts manual list it as part # MS90728-63, I tried putting that in on Naps's web site but nothing came up. I could remove one of the others and size it, but I figured it might be easier if someone...
I've finished building a 700r4 that I have bolted up to the 6.2. I'm ready to hook up the tv cable. I have the TV Cable Bracket for the 6.2/700r4 but I can't figure out how it's supposed to be installed. I've tried googling but I'm getting no luck.
How does the bracket attach to the motor, to...
No funny business here.
I pulled my transmission, transfer case, and cross member. I got all the grime off and started putting it all back together.
Transmission is on the jack and bolted to the engine. I put the adapter on the back of the trans and went to put the cross member on so I could...
I've had my heater core out for a while, it was leaking and I don't need heat. I'm tired of the extra noise coming through the open holes on the firewall, so I've finally gotten around to replacing it. Local parts store had the core, but nobody knows anything about the seal.
The -20 lists part...
So I'm currently having alternator troubles and it got me thinking. I live in South Texas where it's hot and sunny all year long, so I would love to have A/C. One option is to convert to 12v system, freeing up an alternator bracket for A/C stuff.
I've seen people on threads here talking about...
My Gen 1 light has always come on at start up and would go out as soon as I gave the accelerator a little juice, or if I started with half throttle it would go out immediately.
I'm sure it's unrelated, I changed the oil with my 3 year old. He wanted to work on the truck with daddy and it was...
So I'm working on rebuilding a 700r4 for my m1008. I have a 1992 K case that I pulled off a truck at a U-pull. I just pulled the pump and I'm concerned with the case. There is an opening under the level of the pump seals that shows through to the shift linkage that the manual detent spring...
Well I did it. Just drove home an '86 M1008. I picked it up for $1500. The body is in great shape, very minor rust and just a couple little dings and dents. Engine cranks up and runs great, I had to drive it about 45 minutes to get it home. The trans has a crack on the top of the housing...
I've found a local '85 M1008 with 30,000 miles asking $2,500. The body is in pretty dang good condition. The transmission housing has a crack and leaking fluid. I've been hunting on Craigslist for th400's and found several but they are all from gas trucks. Assuming that my prospective...
