My1985 m1009 which I've now had for a year makes a metallic buzzing sound somewhere between 900-1400 rpm (a guess with no tach) in park N and 1-3. At idle it will sound more like a chain clanking. I have searched for and found good things to check. I checked the flexplate and bolts, found no...
"My M1008 had a rattle when I got it. It was a low rpm thing and normally when idling against the torque converter or I could say idling in gear. Anyway, any little pull, acceleration, would make it go away. The truck always seemed rock solid, but the rattle kept getting worse. It finally got...

I just recently received a rebuilt IP from Badger Diesel. It is a civilian HD pump for 6.2. He says it will replace the military spec pump that I pulled off. My question is, should I keep the mil pump for any reason or send it back to him for my core charge. Thank you in advance. Hopefully I'm...
