I realize this is an old tread, but I was having white smoke as well... tried adjusting timing in both directions, advance and even retard. That helped some but engine keeps rough and has a noisy idle and had quite significant crankcase fumes / pressure. Engine always starts easy, so never...

Hi all, Been fiddeling with the advance of my IP. My 1985 M1009 has a DB2-829-4879 which is said to be 1.2cSt specific. This pump was only released in 1990 and specifcally for HMMWV, so is definitely not the original on my 6.2. I have been advancing the timing from line thikness all the way to...

Hi, And thank you! Curious to hear whereabouts the sweet spot on your truck may be... I would guesstimate, using the piezo sensor on injector #1 fuel line and a timing light, it will flash between 10 and 14 degrees BTDC... ? Best, Jake

* correction made for camshaft and crankshaft degrees, the latter being double!! Hi, Been searching for some clear and exact data on the injection advance settings for our 6.2 (and 6.5) diesel engines and haven't been able to find anything clarifying, other than"GM never published any advance...

Thank you!! And funny as well... I have been watching you youtube channel during past days on all your M1009/ CUCV topics. Thank you, Jake

Hi Doghead, I realize this posting is old, but I have a question about the Kent-Moore Tach N Time J 33300 A. I am not sure if my Magnetic Probe works properly, as the values really move all over the place... anywhere from 2.3 degrees to 48 degrees... Fluctuation is hefty... Should the...

Hi Welpro, Sorry for the "late reply", but from the figures I see on the little check card that comes with the Tach N Time, it appears that the transducer (pulse sensor) gets the injection signal about 8 degrees before the luminosity probe "sees" the ignition in the combustion chamber. Given...

Hi Jersey, You wrote: " The line on the timing cover and IP are only for reference for the factory installed IP on that engine. It will not match if a different pump is installed." Does this statement still stand? Confirmed? Anyone who can clarify on this please? Judging by my IP Model...

Hi guys, I heard there are several threads on this subject and seaerched, but probably used the wrong search wods and came out empty... pointers welcome!! Unfortunately I have no DoD paperwork or anything alike with my M1009. The VIN is about the best reference I have... or perhaps the tag on...

Hi all, I heard there is someone in the forum who can provide information about the unit where our CUCV was assigned to during it's military use, based on the VIN, bu I have not been able to find this posting. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Late but Merry Christmas and a...

Thank you Tow4! Maybe I have the wrong dash bulbs in the dash and also for Alt 1. Would that cause the light on perhaps? Alt 1 should have bulb 168 and Alt 2 takes a 194, from what I can gather here. These bulbs do not exist in Europe but are available as 12V either in 5W or as 10W bulb, so...

Hey Blackjack, Just checked my Fluidamper, which was still in the card board box, to check the contents. This is item # FLD-800191. This item fits for both GM 6.5 and 6.2 diesel engines and contains the damper with an extra spacer. If you have this # Fluidamper, check the box. The Fluidamper...

My '85 does the exact same thing, for about 10-15 seconds. When I slightly increase RPM, then Alt 1 light goes out immediately!! Indicating...? Weak or failing alternator? Jake

Hi, Just wondering as this item can no longer be found anywhere overhere, and even if, then hugely overpriced for a pair of badly damaged ones and thus I would like to cut my own in genuine good quality thick reinfoced rubber. Does anyone have a template or drawing with measurements of the...

Not intended to re-lauch this debate, but the "older diesel engines" where conceived to work with the formerly high sulfer diesel fuels, which are a lot "greasier" than today's ULS diesel fuels. I do remember diesel fuel really being a lot greasier back then... we would smear it on metal parts...
