Thanks to you for comments. I have a resistor bypass but otherwise regular card (from Hillbilly) and AC60g's. Sounds like my plugs were in cooling off mode and truck was starting with warm plugs instead of hot and that is why I saw smoke. All makes sense now which is what I kept trying to figure...

What I'm going to mention is not a problem it's more I'm trying to understand what is happening when I accidently leave the key in the on positon beyond the time the glow plugs need to be on to start. What happens is I am rushing around sometimes and have reached in and turned on the ignition...

Exactly what I needed to see. Got my head straight on this now. Half the battle to fixing this tranny. I got the pair of front rods and long engine to transfer case rod off other vehicles and they'll go on when I fix tranny permanently. Getting an empty heavy case off a forum member hopefully...

Would Transmission cases on vehicles with 6.2 diesels be the heavy ones also. Along with the 8 bolt pumps how else might I know?? This would all be info I would give to the rebuilder in Fairbanks the closest city. He has done good work for me before and seems to be aware of things like this...

CUCVRUS and Rusty Originally last spring after hitting a big hole in one of our muddy roads I had a vibration in the drive train. Jacked up on all fours and ran and found a cracked transmission. It goes about 180 degrees around top rear of trans. and stays open almost 1/16th of an inch. Got a...

Want to give an update on the transmission. Fluid and filter change didn't fix it (as expected) but had a friend visiting for a few days that does rebuilds so he looked at it for me and said it had no pressure and he'll be back and help me fix it so we can do it in town here. Eventually need to...

Sure could use some of that knowledge out here in our town of 225 people. Often there is just no one to ask. This forum has been an incredible help on many issues. Thanks for info on band adjusting - was wondering a number of times if I should do that and now I know to not worry about it. Take...

Ordered the filter and pan gasket today. Takes about 5 days or so to get it mailed to the village here. I'll check pressure then and let you know. Checking some other vehicles lately and so far they all have slightly higher levels on the dip stick when parked overnight and when started the level...

Thanks Rustystud, I have read a lot of your transmission posts in the past and said to myself "there is a man who knows transmissions". I will check pressure when I get the new filter and fluid in. From what you said about the park pawl am I correct to rule out a busted gear etc in the transfer...

Is the pump accessible without taking trans out. Never rebuilt an automatic or did any more than adjust bands. Level does not change at all after engine running?? Stan

CUCVRUS - flex plate bolted solid to converter and all looked good there. Diesel583 - transfer case tried in all positions however maybe linkage is broken and it's in neutral - will check. Also if something is broken in transfer case could it stop movement of front and rear shafts out of case...

Got trans pan off and nothing obvious there. Not a dumb question - I will pull cover and check flexplate and converter. No bad sounds from there but I'll let you know thanks. Stan

Last night needed to get towed home. One minute I parked all well and when tried to move again the transmission will not go into any gear. Revving engine does not help as with burnt bands. Fluid looks new and linkage is moving fine. Some things that may mean something are it goes into park and...

Was given some DAV tee-shirts by someone who knew I liked the organization. I like to wear them - I did not serve. Had some veterans thank me for my service on occasion when wearing them. I let them know I didn't serve right away but then thank them for their service. Your truck could be the...

Just got them - great pictures

First thing I say is when I get the rebuilt transmission the truck ain't getting used till the 3 support rods are installed and the transfer case to cross member plate/brace is in also. I found an old civilian 4x4 in town here with braces and a plate all installed. They probably don't fit as...

Called a tranny shop in the city and may get a core they have rebuilt. They mentioned the rods also (of which I have none on mine). Also mentioned the valve bodies are different in the diesel mated engines so may have to send mine in so they can get parts off it. I'll look up the post you...

Got a 1986 M1031 with the TH400 and 205 transfer case. Cracked the tranny main body up high (driving in some crazy ruts and mud holes) and it now allows the crack to open/close slightly when I ran truck in 2 wheel drive on jack stands. Except for vibration now all runs fine and no fluid loss so...

Fellow MV owners I'm very happy you get something out of the show and I was looking forward to a truck that many of you like or own being on nationwide (and worldwide) TV so you could see it. I've been lucky enough to have something to do with that. And also showing trapping and hunting and...

Years ago I had a fuel injected gas engine that had a hole in one of the pressure injector lines. I took a good part of a roll of electrical tape and stretch wrapped it over and over the leak thinking maybe it would last a week or so till I could order a new line. Never ordered a line and many...
