More Troubleshooting results OK, when I connected the vacuum guage right at the "T" coming off the vacuum pump I had wild fluctuations. When I connected the guage and it's hose to the end of the hose going to the vacuum valve it was a steady 23 inches of vacuum. I think I was too close to the...

Another point that I didn't mention. When my engine was out of time and grenaded the cam backed out the freeze plug into the flex plate allowing the freeze plug to take out a few teeth on the flex plate. Is it possible that when the cam backed towards rear of block that it took out the shaft...

Hello, I just finished working on my engine after the equivalent of a grenade went off inside of it. Got it running great now. I have two questions to ask regarding vacuum. 1) I'm having a high RPM shift problem so connected a vacuum guage to the vacuum generator that is connected to the...

ABN173, Thanks again. I found a very good thread that had some good pointers. I had read about 6.5's having a reverse direction water pump and the HMMWV engine apparently does also. I am waiting for a turbo rebuild from area diesel. I pulled a homemade turbo setup from a 1984 or 1982, not...

OK, I understand that the brunt of that was directed towards GL who is obviously trying to make a buck. They are limited by what is given to them. If I'm not mistaken, the same auction can be had by going directly to the DRMS website and not having to worry about a 10 percent commision isn't...

Thanks for the reply on the two hummer engines that you got, I'm currious how much it cost you to rebuild them? I also thought they were Hummer engines from the looks of the picture. If it is a Hummer engine and does need a rebuild it would still work as a spare for my M1009 I am thinking as...

Hello, I am seeing 6.2L engines on GovLiquidation in the military shipping container. Description does not say if they are rebuilt but some I see have the red plastic end caps over fittings. Anyway to tell if they are rebuilds? Will bidding on one with the end caps be a better bet on getting...

I recently purchased a book from thedieselpage.com for t-shooting the 6.2/6.5l engines. I am troubleshooting a fuel problem and on one page it talks about worn tolerances on the injector pump and putting 10 percent motor oil in to see if the clearances are the problem. My 85 M1009 has only 33K...

2duece, To answer question on how much propane per tank, I will ask the gent to calibrate at a ratio of 1:8 if he can. I bought the cheap Ebay kit and won the auction today at $298 before shipping. He seems honest enough and published the type of vaporizer on the auction. I found the web page...

Hi Stampy, I also have been apprehensive about a turbo system. There is a 6.2L dually truck at the local pick-n-pull that I can yank the entire system off for $122 out-the-door plus a 20 percent discount on top of that this weekend. I can get another turbo from ATS if needed that replaces...

I called the person who is selling the unit on Ebay that you asked about for a link. His are set up for turbo but he stated they can be used with regularly aspirated engines. He was not very impressed with coming off the oil pressure sensor same as the "bully dog" kit. He was talking about...

DIESEL PROPANE INJECTION KIT-GAIN UP TO 100 HP! NEW!: eBay Motors (item 180515477501 end time Jun-20-10 19:00:00 PDT) This is the link that claims a 100 HP gain. The buy it now is $350 but if nobody bids in the next 3 days it will go for $298. I placed a bid so hoping that it goes for the...

There is another guy who is putting together a kit and selling on Ebay. His kit works off of engine vacuum. It is much cheaper and claims that he is using quality parts. He also sells a Hobbs pressure switch that is adjustable from 1 to 18 psi. His kit is 298 dollars. I was thinking the same...

It appears that I may only be able to use propane injection with a turbo charged engine after looking briefly at some of the ATS information but I may be wrong. There is a kit manufactured by "bully dog" that states it works off teh oil pressure sending unit for naturally aspirated engines...

Hello all, Many years ago when I was stationed in the Philippines I had my 72 Bronco with aftermarket high compression pistons in it. I experimented with my own fuel additives using a little imagination and practically no exeperience and knowledge. I tried adding 8 percent tech grade alcohol...
