Pulling the heads and changing head gaskets, is major work in my opinion. To word it differently, I was just curious to see how long these engines will go with basic maintenance.

I was just curious who has the most mileage on their none rebuilt 6.2L CUCV? I personally have 272,000 Kilometres on my 1987 M1008, without any major engine work. The only thing that has been changed is the injection pump because it started leaking from the throttle shaft.

Laziness my friend.

I have been using a different calibration pump for about a year; it will work. The one I put on has small pieces of the governor floating around in the chamber, which I believe is cause it to vibrate at idle, but that is why you shouldn't purchase a used one for $60 and put it on your truck.

Just ask for a starter for whatever year your truck is with a 6.2l diesel. Since you have converted to 12v, your starter is the same as a regular pickup of the same year.

Did you ever get the issue resolved?

Painting is already done my friend. Should have probably cleaned the tank and chaned the sock while the bed was off in retrospect. Oh well is will come off alot easier this time, without cutting any bed bolts.

Yeah ill probably do that, but I need to come up with some way to bleed the system with the napa filter base 4309. Also concerned about starting it in the winter without the fuel heater. It can go down to -20C, (which is about - 4F) in British Columbia, Canada.

I had some black plastic specs in my injection pump, i just wanted to ensure it isn't coming from the fuel tank. That is why I was considering adding a second filter with higher micron rating, but if i loss power by restricting the fuel flow I will probably stick with the stock setup. Also have...

Would there be any down side to adding a spin on fuel filter along side the stock filter base? Thanks.

The steering wheel puller doesn't thread into the crankshaft more than a couple of turns. If you compare the thread pitch, its different. Get a m16x1.5 nut and try to thread it onto that steering wheel puller. I guarantee it will not go on more than a couple of turns. If your willing to risk...

Luckily the Fastnel near me had a 3 FT threaded rod (M16x1.5), I cut that and got two nuts and a couple of washers and it went on really easily. No need for a welder, or any other special tools for that matter. If you have a Fastnel near you, im sure that they will be able to order one in if...

I know this is an old thread, but I was changing my balancer today and the KD 2291 tool is great for pulling the Harmonic Balancer. Installing it I noticed that it only turns a few times before it seems to bottom out, so I pulled it out and compared threads with the Harmonic Balancer bolt and...

What size tires are those?

Great tutorial, good camera angles, good lighting, well edited, and good information. I am sure this will help someone out.

I replaced my lift pump about a month ago. My truck has 227,000 kilometres on it, and its the first time the pumps been changed out. I don't really see the need to put an electric fuel pump on one of these trucks.

First thing I would do is check if you have any air leaks in your fuel lines. Put a clear tube from the top fitting of your injection pump to the metal return line. The problem I was having with my truck is the fitting on top of the injection pump was stuck, not allowing fuel to flow through...

Installed the relay, and push button start. All seemed fine today, fingers crossed it stays that way.

Ok, I will purchase the one used in the Doghead relay modification and post my results tomorrow. Without the relay in place if I disconnect the ignition wire and check voltage it shows the full 12.78 volts.

And the problem is back. It will click when the engine is cold, but after I get it started and the engine is warm I could turn it off and start without any issues. I checked the voltage at the ignition wire while cranking and I'm getting 10.78 volts. Is that enough to engage the solenoid after...
