The chunks are the head in the injection pump coming apart. Get a replacement injection pump or get the original one overhauled. I had Brand New injection pumps fail in a few months. they were brand new but 20 years old in the box. Never again. I don't trust anything stored in a box that long...

You will get blow by at idle from the oil cap and dipstick. Just above idle it all goes away. Good Luck.

I would get the injection pump rebuilt and call it fixed. I had them go out in 5 months and others in 5 minutes. It always fixed a lot of ills on the old 6.2 , 6.9 and the 7. 3 diesel engines I had to deal with. Seems to be an item that everyone tries to avoid dealing with. And it is rather...

What. If you are going to add a vinyl top that sure will be easier than painting it. But I would start off by sanding all the gloss paint off with 80 grit DA Sander and once you have it all off and smooth I would remove all the glass and seals and sand the entire top with 180 grit. Blow it all...

After being sick with the COVID for 2 weeks I ventured outside again today. I was not off my property for the past 2 weeks and today seemed like a day to explore. I had let some saw equipment at a friends house after working there and getting sick 2 weeks ago and wanted to recover my equipment...

No need to drop the transmission. It is a fairly straight forward job. I have done many laying on my back in the shade outside. I have done less with the use of a lift and modern shop tools. Outside on the ground is the easiest way I know and I can goal myself on the job to stay fresh and on...

My experience with columns is limited. But I have had great results removing the entire column and repairing on a work bench. The hi low switch can be a little challenge in the truck. But it can be done. Also a new hi/lo switch will have smoother easier clicking action. I had a few that were...

I think you have a dry delivery nozzle in the fuel system. I had this happen with a few over the years. I was never one to add any fuel additives but when this happened I just dumped a clean pint of ATF in the full fuel tank and it seemed to disappear for a long time. The GM manual lists it as...

He wrecked it in 2010. I hope the vehicle is recycled and he has fully recovered.

2500 lbs Ok two sides to look at this. First off the TM says the m1008 was designed to transport a m101a2 trailer which weights approx. 1500lbs with a payload of 2500 lbs.Oct 11, 2010 Why not get a Class III receiver that is frame mounted with it's own certified weight rating? Good Luck either...

Like all good/big projects a few snags do occur. It was in the low 30's in the morning and cold all day. I did use the time to clean up the garage and get some tools put away. I still have a long way to go but any forward movement is an advancement. I did a lot of work on other equipment and had...

OK it is 70* outside and I have the whole weekend off. I guess it is time I get wound up and rolling on my M1009 project. I will follow up with a full report. And to keep my thread from being worthless I will include full color pictures with explanations and diagrams as needed. Many CUCV parts...

I don't even go by part numbers anymore. I go by visual and hands on depression of the lever. the correct lift pump has immediate resistance and pumping action when the lever is depressed. The incorrect one has about 1/4"-1/2" free ply in the lever before the resistance begins. As I showed in...

The story of my teenage life.

First off I would make sure you have the correct pump. After you have discovered it is the correct pump I would remove the push rod cover plate and replace that gasket as well. I think that gasket and the fuel pump to cover plate gasket are the 2 gaskets you are referring to. Also a little tip...

No on my knees behind my back like I play guitar.

I never added anything to my fuel ever. I see guys saying 2 cycle oil. It's not a chain saw. I use straight truck stop diesel or home heating oil. Works about the same. That's an opinion thing but after 27 years I must admit I have NOT added anything.

You could use a foam seal that you buy at Home Depot. I am pretty sure that is not where the water is coming in. Also look in the bottom of the gate and make sure your breather drain holes are clean and free of debris. I had a few that were full of shattered glass and the remnants of the side...

You shouldn't get rain leaking in thru the access panel unless you have it under water. The upper glass seal, gate seal and roof seal should be sealing that area. That is a 4" void between the outer skin of the gate and the inner removable panel. It has flanges on both the gate and the panel. I...

Clean the slide surfaces on the knuckle hub really well and lightly lube them. I prefer a new slide and lock bolt if the slide is rusty. But with a small prybar I can seat the caliper in the upper groove and ease the slide lock in place. I hope that helps. I can do it blind folded but writing it...
