    IP Pump replacement

    I finished mine a couple of weeks back. There are several pics on my profile page along with the contact info of a fine pump rebuilder that I used. If you have no electric fuel pump to prime with, keep batteries on chargers and give the starter 10 min or so to breath between cranking. I...

    28MT replacement starter

    I got one from DBElectric on Ebay. Very pleased with them. Starter works great, far better than the direct drive piece it replaced.

    engine block heater

    I have a freeze plug coolant heater in the garage. Not sure if I will ever need it. This past winter the truck started several times in the single digits. Now it's summer and the triple digits are here to stay for a while. I know of a kit for my car that heated and also circulated the coolant...

    Poll - Who has done the Doghead Relay Conversion

    I did it before the gear redux starter. Seemed like cheap insurance with plenty of of victims to the factory piece.

    M1009 Pintle Hitch Mounting

    I changed out my rear bumper for one in better shape. It was surprisingly tough to install the replacement. Before I got it on I ended up using a line up bar, an impact wrench, sledge and prybar.

    A Possible Injector Pump Issue (M1008)

    My pump had been leaking for over a year from the throttle shaft. I removed the pump last week and shipped it out for rebuild. I will be updating once the pump returns, which could be today. Thus far I am extremely pleased with Tim at Accurate. There were shops a lot closer to me, but I kept...

    6.5 detuned to a 6.2

    Why would a 2001 6.5 be detuned to 6.2 output? Were 6.2s hard to come by at one point?

    Springs vs. Blocks

    Budget minded lift on 4" blocks here for the firewood hauler. For offroading, go with the springs. Mine rarely sees that and I wanted to keep my stock springs for cargo.

    Battery Question 1008

    I ended up with 2 Blem (slight cosmetic) batteries from the Interstate Distributor @$45/ea. They are group 31's if I remember correctly. They have worked great so far, and came with a 1yr warranty. Welcome to the forum!

    CUCV Registration Question

    No problems here. My M1008 is registered as a K30. There was no mention of this truck being "military" when it was registered. Insurance was applied the same way.
