today bled injectors,because I replaced fuel filter the wrong way..also changed out bad looking alt.belt that was starting to squeal,but more importantly a few weeks ago i changed out hydrobooster as it was leaking pwr.steering fluid onto my floor,while i was there decided to replace...

Bought line wrenches today and bled injectors,huge difference,truck runs much better,would air in the system cause poor mpg?

I went with hellas#003427291 from Summit ,because you can replace bulbs not the whole assembly,takes HB-2 bulbs,I also did the harness upgrade from lmc trucks,huge improvement..was gonna do silverstars but noticed 150hr. life and went with hellas,because of replaceable bulbs,silverstar also...

crane hi clearance ,just saw on tv few weeks ago for the 14 bolt..

Hasdrubal,are these the o-rings between the filter and filter base plate,and where can i purchase these o-rings,my 1009 runs awesome at anything above idle,but idles rough,seems like the more i change fuel filter the worse it idles.

Since my 1009 has 10bolt 8.5 inch ring and pinions can i pull open carrier and gears from my 8.5 with 373s and put in my diffs?and add powertrax posi,both 28 spline ?

Thanks guys, I also have a vacuum pump for bleeding brakes,could i use this to make things easier ?

thats kind of what I was thinking,my wrench set only went to 11/16,thanks Barrman,would a crowsfoot make this job easier,or just use 3/4 line wrench?

got three bled before rained out,any idea if metric or standard?would like to buy some line wrenchs to finish job,had to use a cresent wrench and did not go well..Thanks..

thanks guys it runs so good other than at idle I dont think its filter sock,I do notice some bubbles when i bleed fuel filter drain though, but ill try injectors next,its my first diesel,so still learning....would this affect mpg ?

Ever since I ran my 1009 out of fuel it idles kinda funny,it sorta studders occasionally,its really hard to descibe,it will idle smoothly then go woomf woomf woomf quickly then smooth out again,but does this sporadically,hot or cold,I have changed fuel filt. twice but still does it,truck runs...

i really like the moroso spiral flow,i have 3inch with tailpipes,wish i had gone 3.5,but im happy with it,you can hear it on youtube,just search rsh4364,kinda loud accelerating but pretty mellow at cruising speed..

I looked at the other block heaters and liked the kimhotstart unit because it has a thermo-stat and its rebuildable,read mixed reveiws on the others,the directions are not vehicle specific and thought maybe someone on here may have installed on a cucv..this one needs input to be low on cooling...

just received my hotstart block heater for 85 m1009,its #TPS151GT10-000,has anyone installed one of these? was thinking about putting a t in lower rad. hose for input to heater,but heard something about a replacement freeze plug with a 5/8 nipple built onto it ..any advice or info very...

after reading richs post went looking for a multi positional wench,had no luck at all ! got slapped a few times so i gave up and installed new hydrobooster,master cylinder ,calipers, pads, and completely changed all brake fluids...much better..8.99 for 11oz. dot 5 ? by the way rich that truck is...

agreed if you can upgrade for same cost,do it,but the 8.5 is a pretty healthy rear,gov-lock maybe not,on a street/strip car they handle 500-600 hp and equal ft.lbs. easily...

wish i needed a/c,near 0 past few mornings here,congrats tho,I so need a southern rode trip..

Congrats on your purchase,is it over there? and welcome also,Stay safe ,89X rocks !

Ordered a hotstart block heater# TPS151gt-10 000,input should be lowest point of cooling system,was thinking about maybe making a t to put in lower radiator hose,but im sure theres probably an easier way,any thoughts or advice.Thanks. 85 1009 6.2,Ive also heard someone sells a freeze plug...

In the gm G-body world the 8.5 10 bolt is a much sought after rear,usually go for 1k-1500$,they were used in Buick GrandNationals and Olds 442s,not trying to start an argument,
