Panel Bonding Adhesive I have had great luck with adhesives for non-structural areas. For structural repairs most manufacturers recommend a mix of welding in some areas along with the adhesive. Since I weld, that is what I do for rockers, interiors on cab corners etc. Door skins and...

Recent trip to NH with a decent load in the M1008 bed, Gear Vendors OD, 70+ MPH achieved 16 MPG almost dead on. In my "normal" driving I regularly hit 18 MPG which is combination of "city" and "highway" driving. Developed an unusual off again on again vibration from the front end like a tire...

At minimum, press and release the accelerator after turning the key to the "on" position (wait light is on) to set the fast idle and ignition advance for easier cold starting. But I agree, aside from the above I do not need to hold the pedal down halfway to start the engine. They both pop in...

Looks great! When do you sleep?

Thanks Rick, I'll PM you when I have my list together to see what we can make happen. I'm also hoping that we can start sharing our good and bad experiences on re-pops since that may be the only viable option for some.

Thanks eme411. Can you help us all out by specifying who supplies/manufactures the higher quality? Goodmark, at least a few years ago, is on the short list. We may be able to save people a lot of time and/or $ if we share our experiences. It may also help to drive quality higher. Appreciate...

Just a suggestion, but have you started with the troubleshooting section in the -20 manual? Page 88 is where no start conditions begin. You will need to follow a process of elimination to find the issue, and there may be more than one. Take it one step at a time and PROVE that the system...

:funny:

Correct. It is the left or drivers side alternator. Are your accessory drive belts properly tensioned? What is the voltage when the engine is revved a bit for each battery?

Two rebuilt IP's and two sets of rebuilt injectors later and a very fair price. He sends you a rebuilt to your specs and you send your core back in a specified period of time and you get the core credit back. Only issue I had was with the clamp free hose he sells and then ONLY on the metal...

Can't wait to see how the improved fan works for you. If it does you may have made another sale.

One could be the Decon bracket. You should start another thread where people can post their interesting finds on/in their truck :D

My friend found pictures he took when he replaced the bad springs. Same part number as the Stanley/Dayton that Stengel sold me. 22-402. Note the difference in the rebound clip between the General Spring and the Stanley/Dayton:

Here is my understanding, please chime in if anything is inaccurate. 6.2 and 6.5 heads are interchangeable with the following considerations: 6.5 Turbo heads have a different angle on the injectors. This was to increase the clearance for the turbo. Generally you can use the 6.2 injector...

LMC often sells others products. e.g. The headlight wiring harness is PUTCO brand. Is there a brand? Can you share images of the packaging? Thanks ...

We use both of these in our robotics competitions. A word of caution on the single powerpoles. They will come apart with low force compared to the SB connectors. Anderson makes a small black fitting that provides some security. https://powerwerx.com/powerpole-connector-retention-clip

Another issue with the DMax is clearance. You will have hood and cross member clearance issues that will need to be addressed. The DMax is a taller engine and the older body styles are not set up for that tall of an engine.

I thought they did away with the shim type starters years ago. You only needed shims for the old style. I can't remember if the no shim style was a different nose cone for the starter, and won't be near my manuals until later today. Sorry I could not be more help.

Like Rick, I pull the heads as the old print-o-seal gaskets are a known weak point. I have been using the updated fel-pro gasket sets and head bolts for years with no issues. Some use the 6.5 head gaskets on 6.2's but I do not.
