    Hello folks. M1008, convert to Veg Oil?

    Oh, and one other thing about using trans fluid... It is fine to put a quart in a full tank every once in a while. But you would not want to run on straight trans fluid unless you are in a pinch. There are too many additives and such that will cause issues in the cylinder when it gets burned...

    Hello folks. M1008, convert to Veg Oil?

    Please... I have been running WVO for 5 years.... NO problems. As have thousands of others. Yes you can do it but only do it with a separate heated system... no matter where you live. the WVO needs to be heated to change the viscosity so it will inject like diesel I have been running my M1009...

    turning up the injection pump question

    Well, I'll be... I stand corrected...I finally saw it in a photo on the web... http://www.easternsurplus.net/images/common_spares/fipump1.JPG Not sure why that is easier to get to than taking the top off the pump. Seeing how that area is sort of under to side of the pump and under the...

    turning up the injection pump question

    It doesn't exist. Ignore that info... you have to pull the top off the pump and then pull the spring and rod out and line up the allen head.

    OEM Fuel Filter Microns??

    I'm probably wrong, but those two filters seem like over-kill. Is it necessary to have such large filters and two of them?

    Call a GMC Truck center... not the 4-wheel type trucks but the bigger ones... I went down to my local truck center and they looked up the part and had it in in about a week. Westfall GMC Truck, Inc. They have a 24hr parts center.

    Diesel shop says I have bad injectors, need help

    Better than Sea Foam... get a can of Diesel purge... pull the intake and return lines from the pump (bypass the filter) and put them into the can... run the engine on Diesel Purge until the can is empty... vary the RPMs while doing this. It will clean the injectors and de-coke the engine very...

    Banks Turbo - I bit the bullet

    No, I got the mount from Summit Trans-Dapt Performance Products 1028 - Trans-Dapt Performance Remote Oil Filter Brackets - Overview - SummitRacing.com and then I found a diesel fuel filter with the same thread 3/4-16 in. I don't have the number handy but it is a $9 filter from Wix.
