That is an odd set of symptoms.... when the air temp is over 90, is your engine running hotter?

The sensor on my 86 M1008 had to be replaced and the shop couldn't find it at any parts store either. Luckily he had a spare sensor laying around..

More trail cutting with the 86 M1008. I only hit one tree lol

And check the motor mounts. Ask me how I know this lol

Did you check the oil level?

The weight of a 6.2 diesel is more than a big block, so it will raise the front of your K10 and stiffen the ride.

With turbos added to a 6.2 and 6.5, the biggest issue will be heat. Keeping the engine adequately and evenly cooled along with getting exhaust gasses out as quickly as possible is the main concern. The 6.5 turbo diesels from the factory had a myriad of issues all due to heat. The 6.5 turbo...

I think(?) the Banks system says half a turn, but don't take my word for it lol

We all love how fast the 24V 27MT turns over the engine. If your fuel and glow plug systems are working as they should, any starter will fire up an engine real quick. My 86 M1008 has the 12V conversion and a 28MT 12V starter. It starts just as fast as my 85 M1008 with the 24V 28MT starter...

Stomp on the pedal, more fuel. Lightly press the pedal less fuel....

If I'm correct it's within the DB2 injection pump itself. The 1994 and up 6.5's used an electronic injection pump which could be reprogrammed with a chip

How fast do you run the ole M1010 with those Toyo 255 85 16's?

Allow me to clarify; center mounted on the passenger side, not a rear center mount.

The usual center mount

I'm looking at possibly acquiring a 6.5 turbo engine from an upper 90's dually box truck. From my understanding it's the non egr L65 engine. It would go into my 86 M1008 which I drive quite often. The truck still has the 4:56 gears and I run KM2 255 85 16's. Max speed that I drive is 55mph. Any...

Thank you What diameter pipe is that?

Does the exhaust pipe from a 6.5 turbo have to route outside of a CUCV frame or can it be routed inside the frame?

So if I were add a turbo to a 6.2, it would be safer to turn 3000 rpm vs NA?

I wish someone could figure out why my 27MT kept eating up a bendix. It had all of the correct 24V parts, just couldn't get a bendix to last.

Once again I used the 86 M1008 as a tractor.....
