Hey Guy's
I am getting a bit of hissing at certain points of pedal travel, when using my brakes. Sometimes when I use the clutch and brake a couple times quickly, I notice the pedals firm right up like I am low on vacuum. Is this a tell tale sign of a bad booster?
Any idea on the best deal on...

Hey guys

I am interested in purchasing a rear sway bar setup for my old 1986 CDM spec bj70 short wheel base hardtop. I have the equipment to weld any necessary brackets in place and even could make a bracket or two if needed.
Thanks for any help or direction with this

Hi guys
Pretty much since I got my truck there were a few rough spots on the body that I wanted to fix up, as 8 years went by, I touched up the bad spots with various products (mostly from rattle cans) and kept the truck well coated with oil, which did a great job slowing rust. Now, I will have...

Hi guys
I have finally returned from living up north after 3 years. I'm happy to be back near civilization at least for the moment. The first thing I did was talk with Kieth and get the ball rolling on his turbo kit (So excited)! One of my concerns with turboin' my old CDM spec is a friend of...
Even when I first bought the truck I have always have to rev the engine above 2000rpm to get the charge light to go off and the volt meter to show it's charging, I could also hear the charge lamp relay click at this time...

Hey guys
I just got back from a couple hour drive with my 1986 BJ70 CDM spec 24v truck and about 15 mins from home the ammeter started jumping from just below where it typically sits to well below the middle line and back again, at the same time I am getting a clicking coming from in the...
Well I am planning to do a move out to North West Territories and basically going across Canada and back. Over the years I have made my old CDM spec hardtop pretty nice and clean, lots of new parts, updates and fixes... She's always gotten me home and she's just over 320 000kms on the clock...
Hey
I'm in the market for batteries again! I want opinions and how long you have had batteries last in a 24v setup with cold weather!
It seems like it hasn't been long enough but half way through the life of these ones (4 years) I switched to the solar converter setup that load balances...
Well I'm putting some good km's on the 70 series again and a few little things have popped up but this one has become increasingly irritating, it started off like a slight hiss and now it's fairly loud... Still have good braking performance, but I would assume my booster is on it's last legs...
I am cleaning up a few more things on the old 70 series, tracking down rattles etc... I noticed today when driving down an old rail bed my rear door hinge on the small door is very sloppy...

I have seen a few pictures and some information about these covers...
I was just wondering if anyone has them in their 70 series and what they think?

I figure they're cheaper then re upolstering and look like they will...
