I allways buy an ac delco filter from auto zone or who ever. I just ask for a filter for a 6.2 diesel. That always works.

Well I drove the truck this morning for the first time since all of the new parts. As soon as I turned the key to the run position I heard a click. The solenoid appeared to be working properly. After about 8 seconds the solenoid began to chatter. I cranked the truck and the chattering quit...

My plan was not perfect as you can see. I was just giving you somthing to ponder. Personally now that the tranny swap has been mentioned I must say that I would rather go that route than have different axle ratios. That and the fact if it was reversed, 410 in front and 456 in the rear. The...

In the morning attach the red lead of a DVM to the bottom side (two orange wires) of the GP solenoid and the black to ground. With the key off you should have 0 voltage. Turn the key to the run position and you should get around 12 volts. Depending on your set up it may be higher for a few...

Mine just quit working three days ago. I took the wipers off, removed the slotted peice of metal behind the hood and then the plastic screen. I found a sweatshirt wrapped around the wiper motor arm where it connected to the long rods. Looks like a rodent was building a nest. Removed that and...

I know that the balmy weather in the sunshine state is not exactly the situation where a engine heater is needed. I do own some land in Missouri and hope to move there soon. It gets a little bit colder in Missouri so I was just checking out my options.

If I was going to swap the gears I would look for a 14 bolt with 4:10 gears. I would not change the front end. I would just be careful when locking the 4X4 in. As long as you do not do it on a hard surface you should be ok. I once had a friend with a slightly higher ratio in the front than...

Does anyone have any experience with Wolverine heaters. I do not want to burn my truck to the ground. Wolverine Engine Oil Heaters

With the 4 inch lift did you have to trim the fender to clear when turning?

I am working on mine also. I have removed the black gauge cluster cover. The volt meter has a disconnect plug approximately 4 inches from the gauge. Easy to hook a DVM to and see if you are getting voltage to the meter.

IN the past few days I have installed a new NAPA ST85 GP solenoid, cleaned some ground wire attachment points, put new ends on the glow plug wires and cleaned the battery terminals. I then removed the glow plug resistors from the firewall. I used one of the wires and routed it to the top of...

Ok, so I need to connect a DVM to the top post, red wire, and manually ground the small blue wire stud with the key in the run position. If the volts on the top do not drop to 12 or so the the relay or solenoid is bad. I hope I got that right. I try that tonight after work.

Ok, I connected a DVM to a good ground and the bottom (orange wire) of the solenoid. Turned on the key and the solenoid chattered. Jumped an extra wire from the small post with blue wire to a good ground. Solenoid stopped chattering and made a positive click sound. DVM read 2.8 volts. Is the...

I am going to check that tomorrow. I will report back.

Thanks for the assistance so far. I did some checking this morning and found that I have 25.8? volts to the top stud (comming from the resistor)of the solenoid. On the bottom side (going to the glow plugs) I only had around 4 to 6 volts. The meter jumped around a lot. This reading was with...

If I want to test the solenoid by grounding the post with the small blue wire should I remove the card first? This is assuming that the card is good.

It was off of a M1009. I am not sure if I was very clear in my first post so just to make it clear I am refering to the silver can mounted on the firewall to the left of the brake booster. It has 4 studs.

I have a 1984 M1008. I has been parked for 1 year and I got it running this weekend. I had to replaced the glow plug solenoid with an old one taken from a junk truck because it would not activate. The problem is that the glow plug solenoid is making a chattering sound when I turn the key on. My...
