    DB2 Fuel Injection Pump for 6.2L 6.5L 6.9L 7.3L 5.7L – Diesel Care & Performance I used this service at least 50 times in the past 25 years. They emailed me a ship label I bagged the pump and sent it back. It came back in a week or 2 and it was always done right. Not sure what happened with...

    M1008 Build

    The Chinese have military vehicles. The Chinese have big trucks also. Many old vehicles would be parked and unrestorable if were not for imported parts. Even new domestic vehicles are built with offshore parts. All of them have some Chinese parts in them. It started back in the late 70's.

    WOOD I loaded all this wood with 2 fingers and while sitting down. That was easy. I will split it 1 piece at a time while unloading it. The surge brakes on the M1102 trailer work great. The other trailer just pushes you all the way home. I think the M1028 is over the 9400GVWR. Have a Great...

    I have this in my inventory and have no idea what model it is other than Warn. It has a brand new remote and has been completely overhauled by Warn dealer. I need a model and approximate value if I may ask. I have the cable and the fairlead for it also.

    Question About Torque

    Permatex the Right Stuff is ready in 1 minute. I have been using it for 20 years and have not had a leak when the surfaces are properly cleaned and prepped. They must be matching surfaces. This cannot be applied to a leak like caulking a leaky patio door or a window. Like everything the surfaces...

    Question About Torque

    Terminus M1009 | Page 11 | SteelSoldiers Do as you wish on the pan sealer. I have always had the best results using the Fel-Pro gasket set and the Permatex Right Stuff sealer. And as far as the pan divots, I use the egged on the anvil or solid surface and tap the edge straight and smooth with a...

    1987 M1028 6.2 crank no start

    May I add that I have used the A C Delco 13G glow plugs just like it left the factory with in all my CUCV's for the past 27+ years. With the 13 G there is no need to cut the 3/16"spades and change them to 1/4" spades. With the stock glow plug system unhacked it has served me well. Another quick...

    Th400 transmission on a 6.2 k5 blazer m1009

    Get it fixed by a professional. I split a few cases from the slamming effect. Don't do a witch doctor/snake oil additive. Get it checked, repaired or rebuilt by a reputable shop. Make sure you also have them adjust the VCV so that it shifts properly. I see a few that shifted erratically after...

    Th400 transmission on a 6.2 k5 blazer m1009

    This is the reverse band in the TH400. It is lined with clutch material. It will wear the lining out of the center. The lining is worn rapidly from working the transmission in reverse. I burn one out on a CUCV snowplow truck every 2-3 years. Not saying this is the issue. Just making the issue...

    1987 M1028 6.2 crank no start

    The green wire on the left is an advance of the timing and the green wire on the right is the fast idle control. Both are activated by the switch on the right rear passengers side head. It is am2 prong plug and a brass 7/8" switch that threads into the head and senses water temperature. Good...

    1987 M1028 6.2 crank no start

    I would pull the glow plugs and crank it over quickly. If it is getting fuel the glow plug holes will get wet. And besides this is the perfect time to check the glow plugs and bench test them. I started many diesels and primed them after putting an engine in with no glow plugs. It cranks much...

    My 2 vehicles. Today I went to a scrap yard that has vehicles from the 20's on up to modern stuff. That is me driving off the scale. No damage. I felt a little creepy in that place. Imagine the story the cars could tell.

    I was digging thru a scrap metal bin and found a SS hinged license plate bracket. How cool is that. You could hang it under the bumper and fold it up when you are in a parade or wanting to off road. Very Predator like it is invisible. Folds up. Also, I have installed the last small LED bulb...

    Shame is the 2011 Crown Victoria was in excellent condition. It was a Geogia car and was involved in an accident and the owner needed to get back home. So, he collected the money and scrapped the car. And really scrap is very low right now, so it was not worth much. It ran and drove fine. I...
