Aces: Ok, so the motor's good and no other visible cause for the diode to fail. Guess it's one of life's mysteries. Replace it and hope whatever caused it was a one-in-million occurance. Buddy: Check the board to see that the relay connections to the circuit board are still good. Over...

Unfortunately, I could not read any #'s from the diode in my pictures. If you cannot get the diode #'s, I think a 5 amp 200 volt diode should be an adequate replacement. Just my :2cents: Mike

I took few pics when I resoldered the relay on mine last year. I'll check tonite to see if it I can read anything useful... If the diode exploded, that usually means a dead short. Does the wiper motor still work? Big diodes like that are used typically for power rectfication (such as...

Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions about mounting the trailer connector. (apologies for the minor hijack) I've been following this thread on your changes for some time. (I've been thinking of using an Auber gauge to monitor fuel pressure.) Looking forward to see how things...

I noticed your 7-pole RV connector installed in place of the left license plate lamp. I'd like to do the same to mine. Can you tell me how difficult the task was? Thanks. Mike

Why use a plain piece of plywood when you can do this: Cheers.

Hello neighbor. Glad to hear you got it sorted out. For future reference: I get most of my nuts/bolts from Adams A. Supply on 879 Wall St. (metric and standard) or from Princess Auto. Going to the $tealer for anything is just nuts these days. Cheers.

It's what you don't see that gets you... Did you remove the rad and thourougly clean it? There's many posts about the benefits. Here's the "compost" that I had in mine. It was a farm truck in a prior life... This is what i was able to sweep up. Much more was washed away. Since I...

Ok, the general opinion is that the cooler should be the fin type. Now that I consider this, a few other things are starting to add up to make me believe it had repairs to the front end: -grill cracked and difficult to align -driver side inner wheel fender bent -brass coupler on power...

Just to be clear: which is the right one: fin-type or frame-mounted? Is this truck yours? If so, thank you for sharing the pic. Without it, I would not know what is supposed to be there! Cheers.

What is the correct power-steering cooler for the 6.5TD? According to the manual, I have the "frame-mounted" cooler that's installed inside the Driver's side frame just behind the bumper. (have to remove the bumper to service it! another dumb idea from GM engineers!) The manual shows a...

Are you referring to the drain plug? (green in my first pic) If so, the first time I tried to turn it, it was so stiff I thought I'd snap the plastic. Once loose, it was fine. I didn't try to remove it completely, but it felt like that it could be removed and replaced. How on earth...

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but here goes... As part of cleaning the rad, I decided that the factory setup for the radiator drain suks. It drains into the rad cradle and piddles all across the front of the truck. So, I decided its time to make a proper drain: 1. Drill a...

Think your rad is dirty? This spring I decided it's time to clean out the rad. Here's the "compost" that I found stuck between the A/C condenser and the rad. I was surprised how much there was. This is what i was able to sweep up. Much was washed away. Goes to show how much stuff...

Are you missing the starter bracket? Are you missing the starter bracket? It mounts on the end of the starter and attaches to the block. The theory is that without it, you will break bolts! I've attached a pic of mine. Cheers. Mike

Ok, thanks. Great pix and explanations on the remote filter thread too!:biggthumpup: Cheers. Mike

Excellent post!:thumbsup: Your timing is perfect. I've been putting off replacing my lines/cooler (LubeSpecialties) and remote bypass filter setup (AMSOil) since summer. (needed the truck for haulin') Looking forward to see your thread on the remote filter installation. Cheers. Mike

Looks great. I've been thinking of the same thing. One question: how much did you need to "adjust" the inner fender to get the battery to sitdown? Got a pic of the underside of the fender? Cheers. Mike

Thank you for posting pics of the gauge. I was hoping it would be a 270 degree style. (to match my other gauges) Jamierayo mentioned that AutoMeter has one as well. I'll have to check it out this weekend. Mike
