    Mech Fuel Pump/Sending Unit

    this seems more and more of the ol fuel filter leaking air issue... i HIGHLY recomend repalcing the fuel filter with a spin on style RACOR fuler filter... it will elimate alot of these head aches. The orgianl design is crap ... just to much can and will go wrong with it.

    High Volume/Pressure Oil Pump?

    how much more pressure are you trying to obtain? the stock pump is more then capable of doing all it is ment to do.. if need be you can change the oil pressure relief spring in the pump to get the desired effect.... are you having low oil pressure issues? adding a turbo?

    m1009 Vin locations...

    other then those locations you are not going to find much. these were civilain trucks converted for military use to make a long story. you may be able to locate on the frame rails somewhere where the Vin has been stamped into the frame. thats about all i have for ideas

    IP Pump replacement

    i have found it makes it alot easier to put all your injector lines on the pump before mounting the pump back up to the engine. it will look like a big scorpion sitting on the bench but it does take the head ache out of trying to get the bottom lines tight on the pump.
