New heater core, new power steering pump, new harmonic balancer and seal, oil cooler lines, front and rear diff service, rear pinion seal, put both batteries on the rear tray with new terminals and cleaned up the old cable routing.

Great looking rig!

So it's time for an update to this thread. It turned out the IP was seized on the takeout 6.2 that I hauled from Texas. Ordered a rebuilt pump from Oregon Fuel Injection and install went smooth. Truck is now running down the road again. Have a few issues that need to be addressed but I can do...

Update on my electrical issues. As it turns out when the short occured due to the mis-wiring of the alternators, both alternators fried themselves and tested bad. Bought a few rebuild kits from a SS member and now have correct voltage and no battery drain down. Proceeded to fire up the truck and...

Having a hard time getting pics to upload at the moment but the bolt is captured by the engine wiring harness plug and is threaded into a fixed nut on the fuse block that appears to be missing in your photos. The wax and grease remover worked great on the firewall plug btw. Disconnected my...

I did the same conversion, and had trouble with different sealants at first. The winner turned out to be a product called "Gasoila". Had to get the fittings clean and dry then let it set up for a little while. Good luck

I will get some pictures in the morning of mine and check to see what the bolt is threaded into. Going to try the dx330 wax and grease remover and post results.

I had mine apart recently and it did not have any retainer on it. ON A SIDE NOTE: Anyone know what will clean that old black grease out from the bulkhead connector?? Tried dish soap/water and break cleaner with a toothbrush with no noticeable improvements

Update Bought a new group 31 battery for the front battery tray, making 2 new batteries now installed. Attempted to prime the truck and found a fuel leak Leak was due to improper size fuel line from filter assembly to injection pump Ordered correct NPT to hose barb fitting Waited a week to get...

Well I stopped by to work on my M1008 this afternoon and installed a ground strap from the engine to the cab at the rear of the passenger side cylinder head. Went to the cab to turn the key and begin some voltage checks and got no lights in the dash, no starter engagement...checked voltage at...

I installed an inline filter and spliced into the factory steel lines by cutting them to fit the new hose route. The individual splices are between 12"-18" at most, hopefully I will avoid any other problems. I did a quick bypass of the IGN circuit/fuel pump relay and the pump worked fine. I may...

Well I spent some more time looking at it this evening, voltage through the keyed IGN circuit is now 11.8, the Gen1 light is on dimly and Im not sure where to begin looking for issues. The TM shows a .8 PNK/BLK-39 series that seems to power alot of things including the glow plug module, WIF...

Did some testing today, I only have 10.4V coming through the IGN circuit single spade taps...and a new 20amp fuse popped again after double checking my fuel pump relay wiring. Kinda curious why a low voltage input to a relay would pop the IGN fuse. I decided to test the fuel pump isolated away...

I blew the oil cooler o-rings on my stock M1008 and bought another 6.2 takeout motor from a CUCV out of Ft. Worth, TX. While doing the motor swap I made some modifications to the stock fuel systems. I added an electric Carter rotary fuel pump and deleted the mechanical pump on the block as well...

Cut a piece of old fuel line to guard the knuckles when taking off the fuel cap on my 85 M1008 with a VFD installed flatbed

Hey guys, I put in some new AC60Gs and a new manual switch. The truck is back in action. The only problem now is when I switch the key to run my Gen1 light and oil pressure light do not register. Once the truck is running, the Gen1 and oil pressure lights come on then quickly go out. I checked...

Can you confirm this wiring at the relay and wiring block? I have the 24v feed through the resistors to the relay input. The wiring for the manual switch is the same as before. The wiring block has the 12v supply from the #2 batt (-) terminal. On the same tab I have both alt connections and a...

I pulled the plugs and checked them and they all were bad so I didn't bother to pull out the 4 on the passenger side. I will move the wires back and put new plugs and report back. Thanks for the help!

I checked the driver side glow plugs and none of them got hot when I supplied 12v via jumper cables...I'm guessing that I had the glow plug resistor go bad and that killed my plugs. The relay is working fine and the terminals that supply the voltage for the plugs are OK. Did I hurt the Gen1 alt...

Hey guys. I have a 1986 M1009 that I picked up from a local VFD. Since I've had the truck I have replaced the Gen1 alt, glow plugs, and a GM spin on filter mod. The truck came with a manual glow plug switch already installed by the VFD. The truck has been starting and running fine until...
