Take a flashlight and check and see if the valley is wet under the intake manifold the IP will start leaking and fuel running down the top of a warm engine really smells. It will leak and run down toward the back of the block where there is a drain hole then runs down the trans bell housing it...

OK that makes things easier then I can rebuild engines but where electric is concerned I'm lost so back to the project.

They installed a new 96100 starter which is twelve volt I'm going to do the single alternator batteries wired parallel conversion. I have done a few of these and it has worked well but they specifically state the P/S alternator must be used and they are side specific because of the mounting...

I thought only the driver side is isolated ground since its grounded to the block.

The one that's on there is the stock unit but I need an isolated ground alternator I will probably find a new P/S one and go ahead with the Roscommon conversion I have done before.

I bought a pretty nice 1008 from a NC municipality a while ago it finally made it here this week. They had converted or tried to convert it to 12 volt and its a mess. I had done a few of the Roscommon conversions over the years but you have to use the P/S alternator and remove the D/S side one...

I have seen them marked too I'm just trying to not have to pull the starter but if I do at least its not one of the old style heavy ones.

I finally got my 1008 shipped home from north Carolina and I am pleased with the truck nice and clean has the usual GL forklift dents but a nice truck. I opened the hood and passenger side alternator was gone and all the wires taped up and the batteries were hooked up parallel which one should...

Thanks for the replies right now just looking for options if it gets down to the wire and I have to get it moved or get hit with a default.

I bought a 1008 in Wilkesboro NC and am having trouble finding a carrier that's dependable to move it. Things have really changed since having trucks hauled a few years ago. Used to be you dealt directly to the transporter now they go through a middle man who sets up and schedules loads. Its way...

I was going to probably do that I just have little time for that now I just bought a 1008 last week I have to hire a transport to go get it I'm sure its going to have issues too. If it has a good running engine I may swap it into the blazer and freshen up the blazer engine and drop it into the...

I have another issue with the 1009 its leaking a lot of coolant from the back of the engine inside the trans bell housing. I assume the only thing it could possibly be is a rusted freeze plug. I was wondering if anyone had replaced the rear freeze plug while the engine was still in the truck. I...

I have to swap out the IP so doing head gaskets would be easier with the top of the engine already off anyways.

I would prefer to stay with the diesel I thought bad head gaskets produced white exhaust and overheating and I'm puzzled by the crankcase not having frothy oil.

Yes white in color and seems very corrosive there is a lot of rust on the timing gears and inside the oil fill tube.

I'm going to start looking for one but old chevy stuff is getting scarce in junkyards here I never thought that day would come.

I think so too I don't know if vacuum brakes would work on the 1009 anyways I never paid much attention to the brake cylinder size when working on them.

I have a 1009 with an engine losing coolant and seems to be getting into the crankcase. The engine has a lot of blowby which could be caused by the coolant leaking into the crankcase I drained the excess oil out while it was warm and it had a lot of steam coming off it as well. The oil has a...

I sent it off to my friends diesel shop he going to open it up and check it out should have it back Friday.

I have a friend with a diesel shop we used him for years rebuilding pumps for work I'm going to take it off tomorrow and bring it out to him. I don't mind paying a bit to have a pro check it over I only paid 250 for it so I have a little room to spend a little more on it.
