Been a while since update. Motor is still running great. No more leaks. Replaced the NP208 output seal, stopped that leak. Wired up the coolant temp gauge and it is working great. Used the tap at the front driver side of motor. Swapped out old bent tie rod for a seriously beefy one from ORD...

Popped out the instrument cluster to repair the squeaking speedo and cleaned it up while I was there. Gotta love that flexible circuiton the back of the case.. High Tech stuff, lol. Anyhow greased the cable coming in and also wd40'd the speedo unit on the backof the dial real well. Reassembled...

Finished the bottom end stuff and it runs great. Primed it before I started it at the vacuum drive. No leaks and fresh oil and filter with a quart of the lucas oil conditioner. Changed all the belts, swapped in new goodyear radiator hoses. Flushed the radiator, new coolant. I have a...

Got everything but the pan back in, new rear main seal using the plastic guide... Tq'd the bolts to 40ftlbs- 110ft inner 100ft outer, 60ft on the oil pump bolt. Laid down the anaerobic sealer on the rear main cap, oiled up the bearings and offset the rear main seal as per TM. Tapped it in and...

So I am taking care of that leak at the front of the engine, def the front seal on the oiil pan, and I have come across some other issues. If I have the pan off to do new pan seals I figured I might as well swap out the oil pump for a new one and do the rear main seal while I am there. Took...

Here are some pics of the fuel filter that came on this truck. Some guys were asking for some close up pics.

Wow, thanks man. Maybe I'll just put the ham in the deuce and call it good. Thanks for the info!

That's a great idea. I do it on my boat trailer. I like the rocker panel idea too. Waiting to put in a/c after this crazy heat wave passes. Truck has been sitting idle for a little bit getting a little paint touch up. Love to put some correct markings on it with a little personal touch.

Thanks man. It's been a little work but serious mech work. Mainly cleaning/painting. I had a few K5's before this so it's pretty easy. Now to see how this guy runs on motor oil and diesel, maybe even some atf...

In addition to my front end leak I have a small leak from the tailshaft f the T case. Should be a couple of easy fixes.

There are other sources but personally i have used Saturn Surplus and Fair Radio. The mast sections can be had for $5-10 each (there are 3, ms116-117-118) and I used the ab-15/gn base since it was pretty cheap an still authentic. That I found from $15-30. Then just added a tip for s/g's There...

Alright, along with figuring out what the **** I did to screw up my deuce putting the HH back in.. that's finally all worked out thanks to Horst, Gimpyrob and Greg. Hooked up the CB and PA to the antenna. Seems like I'm picking up I-95 which is at least 12mi away which I though was far for an...

Haven't had a chance to get under the truck yet but took a few minutes to put on my antenna setup. This will be wired to an old Cobra CB.

Good point, considering it should be about $30-$40 for the balancer I may as well do it since I plan to drive this allot. Had one go out on a 85 gas K5 and sounded like it was coming apart while it ate the key and keyway on the snout! Thanks for the advice.

Small oil leak from under the harmonic balancer where the crossmember is nice and juicy with oil buildup and sludge.. Almost seems it is coming from the oil pan gasket? Maybe try and tighten the bolts a touch and see if that takes care of it. A/c update. Waiting for NAP to get the correct...

My 09 has the civvy wiring adapter but only for a 4 pin, I need it to have a 5 pin for the coupler bypass to back the trailer up without the surge brakes kicking in. Readign through the stack of CUCV trailer wiring threads.. lol:drool:

Thanks! The tan isn't really an issue as much as the sun beaming in from my non-tinted windows.. I'm used to my "drug-dealer' tint on my everyday truck so this one kinda blows but it is on the list. Far as I know the M1009 bridgeplate is supposed to be 2 3 3 4 and that is empty, laoded cross...

Looking to find an MX6707 base, 166-118 sections and put in my cb.

Sounds awesome man! We will see how it goes. It definitely wont be as strong as laying down straight to the floorpans, but I don't paln to beat this interior either as this will be more of a beach toy. The stick on stuff really helped with the noise and vibration but the cab is still a little...
