I'm in!

Was in the process of changing the coolant in my m1009 , noticed what looks to be oil in the coolant. No coolant in oil and no white smoke. Back flushed several times with clean water. Water clear until I ran the engine. After cooling down the water got dirty again. Suspect heads. Any thoughts?

The AC Delco is the way to go. Some guys recommend Dorman but they are not made the same. The AC has 7mm of rubber between the hubs. The Dorman 4mm. Make sure you use a new bolt and replace the front seal. The ultimate is a Fluiddampr, but that will run you about $400. The AC is a little over...

I replaced mine with a Delco. Got it from Rock Auto.

You are right, not fun. Just got finished replacing mine. Anyone who says its not hard has never replaced one. Did remove mounting plate and put stiff grease on push rod and it did not move. Used Permatex ultra black rtv on both gaskets. But still a pain in the but. Hope I don't have to do it...

Fluidampr makes a HB for the 6.2 and 6.5 diesels. I put one on my M1009 and it really smoothed the vibration. If you don't have the coin for the Fluidampr then get the AC Delco part. They are available from Rockauto and will run you about $120. I would not use the Dorman. The AC part has 7mm of...
