Second question: Is there enough room in the engine compartment for that large of an alternator?
Yes, but it depends on the size. I've had a 3 row pulley machined out to match the 3 row pulley on the ass end of a big generator......having a big hinge arrangement so the generators weight would...

Well.....I've sat back and listened and watched.....all great ideas and advice. Good ole Ma Duece......yea......you can do some work and make them into a portable power station for the house if you loose power.
While I had to convert one over to this configuration.....I cannot tell you when or...
You've been given solid advice here.....let me guess.....you either pluged into the fuse block or picked up the power from the 12 V. junction block on the firewall....correct?
I'm inclined to think as the others.....clean your ground.....run from the 12 V. source direct. These trucks have a...
Do the usual....drain the radiator.....
The bottom nipple hooks up to your blocks drain plug. Yes....the 6.2 has one, but its way cramped to get at. You can get a lower radiator hose adaptor thats got the small hose hookup on it. ( I made my own....) Hook up the lower hose there....you'll...
Hey....keep us informed of what you find! We'ew here if ya need use......
....................'When it positively, absolutely has to be destroyed overnight..........'
Go to parts for sell section and they should be able to help you out....if not....call the local military Vechicle place and ask them.....they'll fix you up.
The 1008's are always setup with them for artillery and trailer usage.....I believe because of the Blazers higher gearing.....you'll...
Don't want to get your hopes up....sometimes the seal will allow air to be sucked into the system just enough to mess up the fuel milage good, so you've described. The General is right....your pump is probably on the downhill slide....but you might be able to change out that seal and drive it a...
Hey even if you otta drive a ways, its worth li. If its a Military Vechicle...they'll deliver it for a small price.....get it! Sometimes....you can buy it and have to wait maybe a week or two until someone is coming close....and they'll deliver it!
How does the engine run....as good as its Been? Crank up OK? Does it smoke excissively on starteup? Does it pull as hard as it always has? Does it smoke bad doing it?
Yes....theres some additive you can add to your fuel that'll help....it'll probably take a couple of tanks to clean them sufficiently....its as close as your favorite automotive parts store......
IF you don't see a difference....
1. Engine load is going up.....(ie, brakes getting tighter, wheel bearing or pinion bearing going out, carrying more weight, trans troubles, etc...)
2. Engine wearing out or fuel system getting clogged.....possibly water in the diesel (extremely bad for the IP)...
Yes...it could be the IP wearing out....but is most likely fuel quality. Blending of diesel fuels is probably the culprit. When they mix ethanol to fuels....sometimes it makes it way into diesel also....it doesn't burn good with high compression engines.
Just as a experiment......grab a couple...
Also let me add......clean all you connections at your Alt.'s and at the Batt.'s. After that, clean and check connections @ junction blocks on firewall behind rear battery. Make sure your belts are tight.
Make sure you turn off your service light switch and civ. light switch....(theres a dome...
