Remove the PCB (EESS) box and open it up there is a contactor (solenoid) inside that LOOKS the same as used for many starter (edit and winch) applications, it is 24V and should be rated at 100A AND continuous duty, do not cheap out on this part buy a good brand name contactor. The heater fan...

Dang I did not realize the 6BT weighed 320lb more than the Dmax... it is however all cast iron which does have its advantages. The Dmax only weighs about 80lb more than the 6.5T, adding 400lb will be noticed.

Spring side goes in. solid face goes out

The TPS has absolutely nothing to do with the fuel system, I suspect your "mechanic" has less knowledge than you think, Coug (and others) have given some good advice, until you positively ensure the glow plug system and plugs are working correctly throwing money at it will not get it fixed.

They are not that hard, you don't even need any special tools, I am 66 and 3/4 broken down and I can still get them done no problem.

Interestingly enough there were some van or bus applications that used the 6BT and a 4L80, that adapter angled the engine for clearance, I wonder if that would be useful in a HMMWV conversion???? I have no idea what mods were done to the engine as far as oil pan/pump pickup that may have been...

A basic M998 weighs about 5200, 4L80 180lb, 6.5L 750lb, so the starting weight of a basic or A1 without the engine trans,exh would be around 4200 as Coug said the later the truck the more basic weight

I have cruised a few Cummins sites and it looks like an expensive adapter. the common wisdom is without allot of upgrades the 24V will tear up the 4L80 because of the massive torque...

Done, also 4X4nuts is making duplicate posts

Moved to appropriate forum.

No matter how clean the oil looks change it and the filter right away.

You can "tune" any of them to some extent buy changing the position of the TPS

Welcome to the SS forums!!!

I am just trying g to figure if this could be from sitting so long or if it has happened after you drove the truck 3,000 miles. Do you run a fuel lubricant? if not you should be. Have you checked the idle speed? Does it stop smoking and run evenly when warmed up? Usually a bad (leaking) injector...

So you have driven the truck 3,000 miles and now this problem has popped up?

There has been allot of talk about these if you would just read some of the earlier posts, there are some sellers in Korea and Kuwait selling some mil-surp stuff pretty cheap. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/now-i’m-scared-fake-n3135-regulators.219523/ I don't make the rules but we are all...

How many miles do YOU have on this truck?

The A2 does have a different drag link, are you going to be able to install the cotter pins with that drag link?

I am of course biased but if you are going to spend a few more thousand dollars I would install a Duramax and have and one in the wings.

Yes that is the clutch type pulley, you can turn the fan on the rear of the alt, (with the engine off!!) it should only turn in one direction.
