Well I was back at the Red Devil again tonight after work. Tonights assignment/goal was to get the rear gate apart and discover what is wrong inside. The rear window definitely had an alignment issue. One of the guide track wheels was missing and a washer was substituted with a massive fail...

Never had any cascading glow plugs. Sounds very interesting. I have heard it said many times but never had the pleasure. Thank you and Have a Great Day.

Run without it if you can't easily find one. Who would ever know? It is a dust cover. Like I said. Unless you are mud bogging and desert running I doubt it does much. Grease slinger guard. I like new vehicles. Sealed hubs and bearings. Over 200 K on a few trucks and the bearings are still stock...

I have AC 60G glowplugs and have done the Doghead 12V modification on the glowplug system What is this conversion? Something new in the pound? Animal shelter (also a "pound"), a facility that houses homeless, lost, or abandoned animals Just asking because I never heard of the conversion on...

It is 2 individual pieces. The small inner one should be easy to find. It is really not needed. Unless you are mud bogging. Good Luck.

I think it is the fuel fill door. It will rattle against the tether on the cap. And No the fuel tank skid plate has no bushings. Just 5/16" nuts and bolts. Use Nylock nuts. Good Luck. Have a Great Day and Be Safe.

That is a very closed in area above the flange of the core support. Good Luck. The wedges and 1/4" drive extension with 1/2" swivel socket is easy as that. Damage free. I closed a hood on one with no fenders just the core support and I could not access that area. Mine had no cable attached. Even...

Use a plastic logging wedge jammed it the front edge of the hood and then a swivel 1/2 socket with an extension. Remove the 2 5/16" bolts that hold the latch onto the core support. They are facing forward. Easy access. I would only do that after you failed at pushing down on the hood and having...

The horn relay is a little relay that hangs up close to the top right side of the fuse box. Good thing to cut the diode out of that plug if you are ever in there or have the cluster out. Good Luck.

Glow plugs that are dead can get 12 volts. While you have the glow plugs out check them with a short wire and a battery. Only a split second if you ground the threads of the glow plug to the wire on negative and touch the spade on the positive. Put a drop of oil on each one. It will make smoke...

How can you install it wrong? Please? I have installed them a thousand times. Maybe I am doing it wrong. My cobbler bench was Round peg, Round hole, Square peg, Square hole, See my point? It only fits one way and each end is the same. If you know something here enlighten me. Please. :)

Only many many broken ones. They are a very weak design. Back when you could buy a new GM case you could see that they reinforced the tail section and made it stronger. To me that is an admission of error on the manufacturer. I have seen many with the tail section cracked and several that broke...

Same here. I never seen any break except on line. Not sure if it involves some operator error on fuel pump installation. But I never seen or heard of them broken before the internet came along. And I can't find one for giving away at the moment. I would need to go out and remove a fuel pump from...

May help. May not. When I take the calipers off of Dana 60 axles or any calipers I use my 2" rolok grinder and polish the upper and lower bracket grooves on the hub/bracket and apply grease/never seize to the groove, wedge and spring. Clean it well like I am sure you have done and it should move...

Injection pump Spider lines are hard to come by? I did NOT know this. I will keep that in mind as I just scrapped a few 6.2 engines complete. I don't get any calls for them anymore and I don't trust to sell them as operational. Transmissions are in the same boat. Too old to warrant and scrap...

The engine will not start on starting fluid only. Pouring diesel down the intake will not start the engine either. The heat glow plugs and sprayed fuel will ignite the engine. I think you have air in the system. Start at the fuel filter and go forward from there. Open all the nuts on the...

No progress to report on any of my current projects. After 7 inches of rain in 5 hours I am happy to still be high and semi dry. Last night I was a bit worried when the back field was 3 feet deep. Been a while since that happened. Hoping for some M1009 tailgate repairs tomorrow. The weekend I am...

I never shut off the service light switches in any of my CUCV's in over 20 years. Fact I un-nutted the switch on snow plow trucks and wire tied the switch under the dash. Saved me a lot of calls that the lights didn't work. I never heard of it being an issue. Or should I say it never caused me...

Today after work I set a simple goal. I wanted to install the block heater on the Red Devil M1009. It was a piece of cake. I really like the part where I punch the freeze plug out and the coolant pours down on my arm. Fun Fun. I just grabbed hold of the plug with the vise grips and pulled it...

I guess you are in a hurry for one. I have a few in scrap engines. PM me an address. Wheel bearing grease will hold it up in there till you install the pump. Put a new pump on while you are in there. Good Luck.
