I have an old style "heater coil" mechanical battery load tester. I'll test them when I get back to the truck and see what it shows.

Ok... i "fixed" the temp sensor... you were right Cucvrus... I had switched the temp sensors wire with a gp wire... :shock: the only gp wire that I had to repair for a 2nd time because the actual GP terminal broke again, and I had to replace it with a regular spade receiver terminal. :roll...

Hey Cucvrus! Hummm..... from what I had found online, the temp light went to the sensor in the radiator... so now from what you're telling me thats the wrong sensor, and is instead the one in the drivers head. Guess thats why replacing the wrong sensor didn't help... As to the sensor in the...

**UPDATE: Its been a few weeks since I've made a post, just been pitching and catching, and also continuing to deal with health issues. In any case, I got the replacement IP we ordered from Pensacola Diesel over 2 weeks ago, as well as a whole set of rebuilt injectors. The injectors on the...

What have I done lately...I can't begin to list all of that work... so I better just write about the CUCV: After having it sit in the yard for the last 5 months... I finally got our M1008 back up and running. Had to tear down everything on the front of the engine, take the timing covers and...

I was just looking at an ebay ad of theirs and DCP yesterday evening. Wish I would have went with one of them to start with..... In either case, looks like Pensacola Diesel or DCP would both be about $550 including the core charge. Much better than OFI... I've emailed both of them, see what...

Ok, heard back from Oregon Fuel Injection today, they received my "core" IP this morning, tore it apart etc. They said that the pump was seized and the shaft was broke, therefore it can't be used as a core because it is not rebuildable. auaaua So if I buy a rebuilt IP from them, its going to...

Hello again Ken I actually already shipped out the IP yesterday, but before we took it off, one of the first things I checked was the shutoff solenoid. I tested it on the truck first, and later even took it out and bench tested it, and also made sure the little lever it pushed on inside the...

Hello Again Cucvrus! Yeah, the guy on the injectors that sued DCP, I don't know the whole story. But it was on a newer (2016??) truck, apparently the injectors cost several grand, I think somewhere between $6 to $800 each (maybe more?). He bought a whole set from DCP and had a dealership to...

Yeah, Mark at Oregon Fuel Injection mentioned the Stanadyne additive too. I know I've read a little about it before from other people here on SS. Guess I need to find some too.

Hi Rsh4364 Yeah, I've heard about them too, but i've also seen a lot of complaints as well. Seems like people either like them or hate them. Even saw one guy who said he sued them over a set of injectors he had bought from them for a newer model ford I believe it was. So I wasn't to sure about...

spoke with Mark at Oregon Fuel Injection, he told me that this pump number (DB2829-4521) was designed to be able to also run jet fuel as well as Diesel besides some other fuel mixes. However, because it was designed to run jet fuel, it was built with hardened parts, which he said reduces its...

Since the Delphi turned out to be rebuilt like everyone elses, I started looking at Oregon Fuel Injection since it seems a lot of people here have used them with good success. Was also looking at Huckstorf Diesel, which seems like a good company, but haven't found much reviews about them. The...

Found what I thought was a brand new Delphi IP ( #EX631058 ) on Amazon, as it had no core charge. But from what I've found else where, its apparently a rebuilt unit. It looks like the exact same pump, and its listed to fit GMC 82' - 86' 6.2l engine. Its $590 which is still expensive, but...

Was hoping that it wasn't the IP, but thats what I figured was wrong. Guess I'm going to have to find a good rebuilt one.

Ok... its been a few months, been really busy these past several months, and been working on... everything it seems :roll: anyway, finally got the truck in the garage about a week ago, removed intake, water pump, timing cover etc etc and found what happened this last time the truck died. It...

thought I would post a little update... or the final update as it were... Truck had been running fine... got all the little "kinks" with the vacuum lines, and other little things sorted out. Got the backup camera and some other little things fixed inside the cab as well. have been driving...

yeah sure, but its rather expensive isn't it?

does it hold up well? it would probably be easier to paint in cooler weather that we're having now. Still got some warm days here and there, wouldn't take as long to dry or cure I guess.

uhmmm... it only shows there being 190 pages total :shrugs:
