Hello! I have a 1984 M1009 with the 6.2 diesel with only 50,000 miles on it. For some reason it seems to be having hard starts when the motor is cold. It has new batterys, new glow plugs. There is a puff of bluish white smoke that comes out after it starts with a heavy smell of fuel. Once the...

I checked oil. Still super clean with no metal shavings. I found the problem. It was a bad injector. When the motor was cold, I started it up, opened the hood and put my hand on the exhaust manifolds on each cylinder. Each one started to warm up except 1. I replaced that injector and filled the...

Transmission bolts are tight, torque converter is tight. Fluids are full and new.

Hello! I have an 83 Gmc 6.2 diesel truck Civilian I just swapped a Cucv J code with new injection pump on it. Only 30,000 miles. Started knocking loud and loss of power. Happens when at idle while in gear. Any ideas will help?

Today I took off all the glow plugs and matched up the element hole with a 13/64 drill bit. Very gently without touching the threads, I put the drill bit in the element holes and turned the drill bit with my hand going in a side to side motion in and out the element holes. There was quite a bit...

I was looking on line for a solution to clean the carbon deposits in the glow plug element holes to make it easier for me to put new glow plugs in. The only solution I found was a reamer which is commonly used for Mercades and a few other diesels. To be on the safe side, I wanted to ask the pros...

What size tap should I get?

There is carbon build up in the element hole. It is hard to get glow plugs in. Other then a reamer, what other ideas can be used to clean it out of carbon build up?

K thanks! I was thinking about matching up a drill bit to a glow plug and then weld a handle on the drill bit to act as a reamer. since it is new to the SS world. I'll post up pics when I geterdun:)

Hello! I heard there is a tool that can be used to ream out the glow plug holes to get the carbon out to make it easier to put in the new glow plugs. I was wondering if anyone knows what size reamer I should get and brand of choice? Any advice would help:)

Ok thank you for your info! I'll start taking her apart and see what's going on:)

Hello! My 6.2 Diesel in my m1009 started making a thumping sound coming from the intake manifold on the passenger side. It starts up and runs great, but after the motor warms up it starts to make a thumping sound and loses power. I was reading it could be valve springs broken or valves stuck...

So I guess I'll finish posting the build here on SS:)

Yes the Blazer has the basic Rock Tamers. I regret not buying the Rock Tamers with the metal weights on the bottom. At faster speeds, the non weight Tamers flap around more. They are made of good construction and tough. I love the adjustability they have. So far they are doing quite well on the...

Thanks for the advice!
