    M1008 rear bumper R & R difficult? tips?

    I have removed and replaced these before, they can be a pain to get aligned. be sure to have a line up par and impact wrenches. You will probably need another person to support. I have a picture of my hitch posted here. I did not remove the bumper to install it.

    Reasonable IP rebuild price?

    Accurate Diesel did mine through mail. I remember it being around 200$ maybe. Tim is the guy I dealt with. I would recommend him highly. Very good work, at a reasonable price. http://www.accuratediesel.com/contact_information.html

    lifted m1008 be ok for hauling and towing??

    They are factory GM 16.5's, not factory to the 1008, but an older Civi donor truck. The full size spare I got mounted later was actually on a 16.5" Ford wheel.

    Hard Starting and my plan

    I believe my rebuild was under $200, but you can confirm in my older post. I used Tim@ http://www.accuratediesel.com/ . Very pleased with his work. Make certain this is your problem though. You wouldn't want to pull the IP, have it rebuilt, reinstall it and still have the problem later.

    Hard Starting and my plan

    I will throw a few more things out there that you may want to confirm. Be patient with her, the problem will eventually expose it's source. Fuel pressure into the IP, IP timing -scribe marks alligned and possibly suspect the IP rebuild itself. Perhaps Pop Test the injectors. Are you able to...

    IP problem M1009

    I don't believe I read your other thread. The IP rebuild will take time, and $. I would want to check the smaller things first. Can you confirm correct fuel pressure into the IP from your fuel pump? Have your injectors been pop-tested? Do you have any IP fuel leaks? Is compression good on all...
