My leak was the cooler line.

Vacuum pump.

I had a bolt back out and it got trapped rattling behind my pulley. Had to remove the pulley to reinstall the bolt. So you may want to use loctite.

I borrowed a puller from Advanced Auto. Removed and reinstalled on the engine. Make sure all the support brackets are installed and not missing.

Try tightening first... Then if still leak, gasket.

Yeah..the TH400 is a 3 speed so I guess there's a chance it's a typo etc.

If you wanted a regular bed I would go after a 1008 - They are usually cheaper and easier to find. However if the price is right on what you have mentioned, go for it. Personally I would want to leave the 1031 original. The trucks came with a TH400 transmission.

I had a nose cone break well. This happened over a year ago. I suspected a missing nose cone bushing.

Welcome from AL.

I used Accurate Diesel: http://www.accuratediesel.com/ and would highly recommend them to anyone for 6.2 IP Rebuilds.

Inspect your Flex Plate by removing the trans cover and rotate the engine over with a pull handle or large ratchet. Use the Harmonic Balancer Bolt to roll it over. If the Plate is damaged replace. You can get them for $28 here: http://www.saturnsurplus.com/cucv/cucv.htm If its not damaged...

I didn't know until now, but your right his profile says banned. The way I read it I thought something had happened to him.

Where did Doghead go?

My plan for a runaway Diesel would be to discharge a fire extinguisher into the intake, smothering the engine. All my vehicles have one on board. I've never had to use them for this.
