    Washer fluid pump question.

    What determines how long the washer pump stays on? On my 86 1009 when washer pump is activated it stays on for 30-40 seconds.If I turn wipers off pump turns off.As soon as I turn wipers on pump turns back on.I have pulled all connections at pump and wiper connections underhood and cleaned.Any ideas.

    Radiator swap nightmare (well bad dream at the very least)

    Good point on oil filter Rick.I don't off-road much,only some really deep snow once in a while.But I like the extra qt capacity,and it doesn't hang down that low.The oil pan hangs much lower.

    Radiator swap nightmare (well bad dream at the very least)

    nyvram where did you get radiator and part # if you don't mind.Its just nice to know for people doing searches in the future.I also plan on a radiator swap this week,I already have an AZ b850.I also plan on changing crank dampner since I will have the extra room for tools.

    Radiator swap nightmare (well bad dream at the very least)

    1009 same set up as 1008,I have no fitment issues on 2 1009s so far.But I don't have a 1008 so maybe lines routed a bit different.When I say same set up I mean same radiator,oil cooler and trans cooler.

    Radiator swap nightmare (well bad dream at the very least)

    I have T-6 in both my 1009s works great,as far as I know it only comes in 5w-40 weight.Which is fine.I also run Wix 51794 oil filter its a 2qt.filter so the 6.2 will hold an honest 2gal.of oil.With an original style filter you use 7qts.of oil to fill up.The 5w-40 T-6 really lets the motor spin...

    I have a N/A 6.2 in my 86 1009 with 2 1/2 inch flowmaster super 44s,very mild sound,no advils needed.I have been told it is the best sounding diesel they ever heard.

    6.2 banks turbo or 6.0 vortec

    Please ditch the banks and the 6.0l and run nat. asp. with the Stans headers!I would love to hear a 6.2 with headers and 2 1/2 pipes into a nice chambered flowmaster.Maybe super 44s.Bet it would sound awesome.

    6.2 banks turbo or 6.0 vortec

    Stans headers are for naturally aspirated 6.2s,not turbo.A 6.2 with good batts.a good inj. system and a block heater good to -10.If its less than -10 you should stay home..

    Today started rosscommon 12v conversion on my older 85 1009,installed new GR starter,redid all batt.cables to 1awg,added some additional 1awg grounds and cleaned everything electrical on the way.My 86 1009 will stay 24v but the 85 was cut up to bad,went thru 4 starters in 3 years.If it doesn't...

    6.2 banks turbo or 6.0 vortec

    The more you keep it close to stock the better,and you will get better mpg with the diesel,with a lot less work and headaches.Then you can give me the ls 6.0 for my 79 Malibu,its looking for a 500hp motor.LOL.
