millican Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 We took an SPL meter with us shopping for a new bed for the guest room today. On the interstate, it's pretty consistent: 95 to 100 db. No radio. (Can't hear it anyway) 1 Quote Link to comment
hustlepower Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 I replaced my fuel pump, but it turns out that's not the problem. My truck wouldn't start and I looked and no gas in the carb thru the sightglass. I pulled the line off the fuel pump and no fuel coming out when I cranked it. I took the pump apart and nothing's torn, I can't tell if the check valves work ok though. I had a new pump, it looks like carnival prize quality but whatever. Stuck it in and still no fuel coming out of it. I think something wrong with line from tank to pump. Otherwise could be with cam actuation, but that seems less likely. 1 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Last Monday, I swapped out the new failed alternator for a "new" one (reman unfortunately) on my KA24e swap 620 since nobody seems to carry new parts anymore 1 Quote Link to comment

captain720 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 I hauled like 1600 lbs of retaining wall blocks (conservative estimate) in my 720, I'm always amazed with what that truck can do, punches so far above it's weight. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rick-rat Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Scared my truck into fixing itself, was told front turn signals were not working, when the truck saw me coming with toolbox and power tools, the signals started working fine :thumbup: 2 Quote Link to comment

I spent hours going through my entire harness looking for the cause of the alternator not charging, found nothing, pulled it, took it to auto parts store to get it tested.....failed....got another "new one" will see how long this one lasts....this is really upsetting. 1 Quote Link to comment

nl320what Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I hope to adjust my Ebrake cable, take 5 more tube of silicon and seal the motor up for water forging, and see if I can High Mount my alternator. 1 Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 yanked out my L18 motor and transmission so can get engine bay painted again when it goes to paint shop Quote Link to comment
millican Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Replaced the corroded wiring for the right turn signal. New Green with Black Stripe all the way to the "lamps". And replaced the corroded bulb sockets that lasted about 6 months with LEDs coated in epoxy. Here's the PCB half-populated. I now don't have to contend with randos waving back at me every time I signal a right turn. 2 Quote Link to comment
millican Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Am I the only one doing anything to their truck? Anyways. New radiator. The old one was the original. It was literally crumbling at the touch. The radiator shop had to get a custom core made. $390 - ouch. Also new clutch master cylinder. And ... new glow plugs. It feels like a brand-new rust-bucket. 1 Quote Link to comment
Genaro Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Yesterday i did this hack to the air inlet, i park my truck under a pine and after a couple of years it accumulated a lot of pine needles in there. Cheers! Quote Link to comment
Angela Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Drove for over 10 hours in the rain to get this matching tailgate for my 521. It was removed from the truck after being purchased in 1969 & stored under a house ever since. Score! 4 Quote Link to comment
