I am planning on reringing my 6.2 pistons while I have the heads off. This is because of three reasons. 1 I am trying to eliminate a smoke on start up issue out of the left bank and two no shop in town will touch my block because they are afraid of cracking it and three because I don't have the...

So I have been doing some research and it will cost me just shy of $700 to do the heads myself to include having a shop rebuild the heads themselves. Its a straight forward job that I have done a few times but I am lacking the money to do it right now. I am hoping to find a fix to get the truck...

When I have the heads rebuilt they will be magnafluxed and redecked not to mention springs replaced and the valve guides sleeved if needed. My next question is that while surface of the block where the head can probably warp how common of an issue is it for warping to actually happen? I would...

For the last couple weeks I have been noticing that my M1009 emits a fairly large cloud of white smoke from the right bank on start up. I trouble shot the glow plugs and everything is ok. I know my valve train is worn as I blow more blue smoke in general than I did a few years ago. I think...

My original power steering and oil cooler lines leak in the winter up here in Alaska and I need to find some new replacements. If someone can help me locate some, preferably steel braided that would be great.

Could you post a link?

I know vehicles can be leaky when its cold especially if you park inside at nigh. Only issue is my OCD and the army instilled desire to make everything perfect all the time. The rear main on the truck also likes to leak in the winter and after very long drives in the summer. I like the idea of...

So have a M1009 that I have used off and on over the last 5 years as a daily driver. I recently moved up to Fairbanks, AK from central MT and I have noticed some new leaks I have never had before. The clamp fittings on the uppermost power steering line are leaking. I am guessing that line is the...

I will try this when I get around to taking them apart again. The heads are not original to the engine but they were not re-decked either. I got them from Boyce and bolted them on. No leaks from the heads save from an unrelated and as of yet un diagnosed oil leak into the right rear exhausts...

Actually I park it in my heated garage every night. Its 65F in there.

I have an issue that has been perplexing me for months now. I have a leak on the inside side of the left side coolant cross over pipe on my engine that no matter how diligently I try to seal won't stop leaking. I originally tried to seal the leak about 24 months ago with new gaskets and red...

Yessir I am. I havent ever ran into any problems running this truck at -20 here in MT with #2 and stanadyne additive. So I guess we will see what happens. I suppose if in doubt I will run 50/50 with additive. I would be surprised if it get cold enough to have to use additive with #1. I figure on...

Fairbanks. I didnt think of the fuel lines. Won't running an anti gel additive or maybe #1 diesel or 50/50 if its available fix those issues? BTW I plan on driving my Dodge mostly in the winter while I am up there but I want to be prepared.

I have done a lot of work to my 1009 to include dropping in a new engine 10k miles ago. I have never gotten better than 18 or maybe 19 miles on long high way trips at 60mph. I drive 40 miles a day on this truck now mostly 60mph and only get 17mpg. I maintain the heck out of this thing and it...

I'll be moving to Alaska in september and and wondering about winterizing my M1009. Right now I'm in central MT and am no stranger to operating this bad boy in -20 or lower temps. I need to prep it for -60 though. I currently have an oil pan heater but want to add a coolant heater (either block...

I am wanting to do the Stanadyne FM100 fuel filter upgrade on my 1009 but I want to make sure I get all the parts I need the first time I order. I want a set up with the heater and the removable clear water trap. I will also need the brass fittings. If someone can tell me who supplys all these...

I know about that. I'll have to check it again but I think it is clear. I ran the pump on the old engine with a clear line on it and it did flow fuel through it freely.

Well by the TM it is wired correctly. I highly doubt that the wiring harness was manufactured incorrectly. how ever you never know. but even if it were reversed it would have to be some other currently non-existent electrical problem that isn’t there. I trouble shot the advance and high idle...

My oil pressure light on my m1009 is now flickering. I went through some deep puddles today and the whole truck got wet and the light came on and then started to flicker on an off. It’s the first time since I've owned the truck that this has happened. I have 20k miles over two years and plenty...
