Currently having an issue with my Gen 1 circuit. Both alternators rebuilt within the past few months. Voltmeter is only showing 12.26 for the gen 1 alternator. Gen 1 light is not coming on even with a new bulb. The 20amp fuse was bad, so I put in a new fuse. Still no gen 1 light. My heater...

When the engine Yes a 35yr old tank needs to be cleaned out. What I'm not getting is when the engine cut out, I loosened the air bleed on the filter housing and fuel was spraying out the top. Still wouldn't start back up. So that tells me fuel was getting through the filter. At the time I...

Since the truck died on me I've put 200 miles on it and it hasn't missed a beat. I did change the fuel filter just to be on the safe side.

No, I had my foot on the skinny pedal maintaining 55mph and it just stopped running🤷‍♂️

Yes.... sugar has no effect on diesel. It just gets caught in the fuel filter *I've put 10k miles on the engine after all of the sugar eventually got out of the tank

Yes, it is #chfp906...... already went through the parts store sending #mf30030 and it didn't work. Ran a few errands in it this AM and it hummed along per usual. I'm stumped as to what caused the fuel flow to stop🤷‍♂️

New lift pump and I loosened the air bleed screw to see if fuel was going through the filter. Fuel was spraying out the top and side nozzle. I drove the truck 66 miles yesterday and it didn't miss a lick. It ran like it normally does🤷‍♂️

Yes, pulling the tank and seeing what's inside is on the list... lol, when I bought the truck the owner thought the motor was toast because his ex poured sugar in the tank.

Something caused an interruption in fuel delivery, not sure what it is. I did drive the truck this AM to run some errands and all was well. IDK what caused it to stop running yesterday.

Riddle me this... I'm driving the 86 M1008 just cruising along at 55mph and the engine suddenly dies. It was like turning off the key, but the dash lights were still on. The engine would not refire. I pulled the pink wire going to the fuel solenoid with the key on and I could hear the solenoid...

The Gen 2 light is telling you that an alternator is bad. Trust what the system is telling you.

New brake controller on the 85 M1008..

That will involve spacers to keep the tires from touching each other

No, we're having a monsoon in Ga lol If I'm correct the governor for a diesel is different than a gas burner

Drove the 86 M1008 in the pouring rain for the sole purpose of washing the mud off of the under carriage lol

I threw a set of KM2 255 85 16 on my 86 M1008. On the days where the work drive is country highway and no interstates, I drive it instead of my Duramax truck. It sees 55-57mph quite often. It has a new harmonic balancer, lift pump and rebuilt injection pump. I drive the fool out of that truck lol

Tires are too expensive to fry lol... and yes, fresh coffee is a must have in the mornings. The caffeine gets my brain going for what needs attention next on the cucv trucks lol

^^what he said

Tow pig duty today...

I use the factory clutch fan on the 406 in my 79 K20. It keeps the engine from getting too hot.... and a 406 can warmer than any other small block chevy
