Don't forget the bolt. It is 1 use item and I know from experience. Do it right or don't do it. It is less than $5. Good Luck and Be Safe.

I think you are all good. I wouldn't worry about that. If you knew how many times I swamped a few M1009's in water and injected it thru the air filter you would be amazed the engine still ran and had good oil pressure. these 6.2 may not be fast and powerful. But I know for a fact they are...

Today I was able to get the rear seat scrubbed clean I installed the seatbelts. I don't see many that still stand by themselves. I installed the rear seat. Note the arm rests. I bought them from the Chevrolet dealer back when you could still buy new parts. I also installed the spare tire. I...

FEL-PRO Axle Shaft Flange Gasket 55350 you need 2. Less than $5. each at Autozone. Good Luck.

Very vague description of issue. Do the glow plugs cycle? Have you checked them? Does it crank? Can you hear the glow plug relay engage and have you checked to see if power is coming out of the glow plug relay when the wait light is on. It could be as simple as that. Slag built up on the...

Unseasonal weather has slowed my project progress. That and the fact that everything is moving at a snails pace due to the COVID19 virus. I am still working and covering for others that are self quarantining. My papers are in order. I have been branded as an essential employee. So I have that...

They will run with the oil cooler line plugged and blocked off. I had to do it twice to plow trucks in the middle of the night. So I do think you are correct.

Relax. I have had a few motors take a long time to build oil pressure after sitting a long time. Not sure 3 minutes but I was worried on a few I bought not running and got running. What oil filter do you have on it? Water pump won't make the noise. You didn't drop anything down the intake? Do...

You have a bolt in the center of the bulkhead connection under the hood. I think 10mm head. Remove that bolt and simply pull the connection. Under the dash board you have 2 5/16" headed lags holding the fuse block to the firewall. I don't think it is that hard to remove and check. I would just...

The batteries can be charged fully to 12 volts and the problem will still exist. Have the batteries load tested and make sure you are getting the correct amperage. 12 volt batteries can have 12 volts and very low cranking amps. That would be the first thing. Then check all the connections for...

Yesterday I did have a little time to do some work. Most of the day I spent with family. I was out in the barn early on in the day and I came across a box with some new GM brake pedal pads. I am thinking these were for some Chevrolet Caprice Police Cares I used to have but thought they would fit...

I looked at 2 M1009's and I don't see that red wire in the outer rear lighting harness. I am not sure what you have going on there.

I can look when I get home but I think that wire gets attached to the double studded 12 volt power point beside the inner side of master cylinder. The 10/24 stud. The hole looks too small for the 1/4' power stud that is on the same power point.

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/identified-plug-behind-intake-manifold-m1009-water-in-fuel-diode.194904/#post-2276312 Water in fuel diode. Good Luck with your CUCV. That is NOT part of the glow plug system. Be Safe and Take Care.

On Friday while I was working at the salvage yard I seen this 2018 Dodge Charger police car. I am NOT a Dodge fan at all but I was surprised to see how much of the taxpayers equipment they just left in the car when the scrapped it. I guess they were NOT going to replace this car with another...

I had thought a lot about how I wanted to proceed with getting the interior clean. I blew it out with compressed air. I vacuumed it out. I was still wanting the black to be blacker and cleaner looking. I sprayed the floor with Simple Green and scrubbed it with a stiff nylon brush. I scrubbed it...

Today was a successful day. The after market mirrors worked out OK. Not perfect but I am semi pleased with them. The paint came out great. I always have issues with these mirrors during installation. But the spacer reinforcements are in place I used all the stock fasteners and I like the...

Check all your grounds and make sure all your lights are working. The light on can indicate a dead non functioning bulb. Good Luck. Have you looked at the fuel tank ground?

That was 12 years ago. I doubt he still has the truck. Most gas engines have vacuum brakes. I do think the 1986 K30 gas truck I had had hydoboost.
