    Help with ignition lock removal - 1984 M1010

    Thanks for the info. I almost pulled that but was afraid to do damage. I did watch a video where they just grabbed it with a pair of needle nose pliers and pulled it out so I will certainly try that. I figured there were wires connected to the back of it. The truck is about 50 miles away so...

    Help with ignition lock removal - 1984 M1010

    Good evening, I am having an issue with my ignition lock removal. The vehicle is a 1984 M1010 (Military Ambulance). All military trucks are keyed alike so in the interest of security I am trying to change out the ignition key lock and door locks. I have done this before on a M1009 (Military...

    Question on where to get a 6.2 fuel line feeding the lift pump?

    I think I have a leak in the supply hose just before the lift pump on my 1984 K30 with a diesel 6.2 engine. It is molded and I can't find one anywhere. Any ideas?

    Method 701 milled aluminium rims

    I have three kids and get lost in their world if something is not broken. Here's more info on the wheels and brakes even if it is late. The wheels I put on were Method 17x8.5 MR701 +0 offset with 6x5.5 lug spacing. These will not fit a stock suburban without wheel spacing out about 1/2" or...

    Old dual tank location, what do do with space?

    I have a suburban with the 41 gallon tank in the rear and have thought I wanted to put two saddle tanks on the sides for more distance and possibility or bringing diesel or gas home for other vehicles or the tractor. The ability to pump it out, pump it into a different tank or use a different...

    Slightly off topic but how do you tell when the lockup on a 700R4 is engaged? 1991 Suburban

    Method 701 milled aluminium rims

    The tie rod end hit the inside of the wheel. Of course the dealer said they fit even thought they did not. I was also in the process of changing the brakes and could tell that that would fix it so I dropped it with the wheel dealer. When putting Hummer brakes on the axle the rotor was removed...
