5Ton Name How bout CHIEF ? Like your handle

Rear ends I just saw some new rear ends in crates for sale on GSA site- Just FYI

Gasser Yeah, My old gasser kinda has its own personality, and a sound all its own. If I wanted more roadability, I would put a diesel, big truck running gear in it, but like to keep it nostalgic. Besides, when I got it, I was told straight up " This truck will not run" It took two trys, but I...

Flex plates are pretty cheap, and if you have dexterity in your finger tips, and a lot of patience, you can do it without removing the trans, if you have an inspection cover. Tranny comes loose from the block along with the mounts, and there is JUST enough room to do it. I would suggest a valium...

How about MIGHTY MO FO ? Or BIG MO FO? Not much room between the tandems with those tires is there? Nice truck!:-D

Most rigs have a center pin in the spring set that center in the pad on the axle. This keeps the rears in line with the rest of the truck. The impact could have sheared this off, and moved the assembly out of line. Just a thought.:roll:

S.s. Get together Hey, I'd be up for it. I'm in Oly:-D

Oldest 53 M-62 Wrecker, old gasser fires up whenever I need to do a recovery, or just pick something up for fun!

Questions? Sorry to hear about that little excitement. Hopefully nothings hurt from that that. Wreckerman, What year is your truck, and what the model? Looking at a XM816 and wondering what engine might be in it, and if turboed or not. Think its a 69 or 70- Thanks

Re: RE: Re: RE: Can i run a 6.2L in the engine can? Kenny- Whats involved to change it to 12V- Not the whole pump, I hope?

Re: RE: Re: RE: Can i run a 6.2L in the engine can? Way to pop my balloon! Maybe a little mod with the torch.

RE: Re: RE: Can i run a 6.2L in the engine can? I shall report back, with pics- tHANKS AGAIN.

Re: RE: Can i run a 6.2L in the engine can? Could I give them some voltage if need be?

RE: Re: RE: Can i run a 6.2L in the engine can? Nothing like a "Hospital like setting" for a shop! Most important . If I had no cats, dogs, kids, neighbors, or buddies, I bet I could have a clean shop like that. Probably ain't gonna happen!!!

Re: RE: Re: RE: Can i run a 6.2L in the engine can? Hey, thanks for the help. I now have a mission for the wrecker tomorrow, and get to play with a 6.2.

Re: RE: Can i run a 6.2L in the engine can? Wow, pictures make this easy to understand. What is that one running? Generator?

Re: RE: Can i run a 6.2L in the engine can? Yes, It would be different, the engines came with headers of sorts, tubular manifolds. I could easily set up a temp radiator for the run. Thanks

Thanks for the info- I've managed to end up with 6 of these things, and I would like to fire the take outs before I sell them. Got an 89' suburban project in mind, swapping in a 6.2 for the gas. I know the trans (700R4) will bolt up, but will it work? Comments?- Thanks

Would I need another engine harness, or could I fab one up with just the basics? And, oh yeah, what would be the basics? Glow plugs, injection pump, starter, anything else?

Seriously, has anyone tried to test run, or bench run a 6.2 in the can, and can it be done, or is this a no go? Thanks
