The huge key to success is threading that line on first before bolting the pump to the block. Once it is rigid, you are almost guaranteed to never the get the threaded line started.

My M1031 came stock with a welder and generator to power it :) I don't know if I would want a welder being powered in the engine bay, seems like a complete total loss of a truck if it melts down. Would be pretty cool to convert one Alt to 24v for the truck and the other for a welder though.

Because it works just fine BTW, electric pumps that are frame rail mounted are not desirable because they run hot and tend too fail early in life. Pretty much every OEM design utilizes a tank mounted pump. The fuel keeps it cool. Does your electric pump have an inertia switch to shut it off in...

How many miles are you driving and is it really worth to run on non-diesel fuel? It's one thing to kill a 6.2 diesel IP, I wouldn't be chancing it with more expensive Duramax parts. Just seems like with all the work and extra steps to get fuel, you are taking big chances for little gain. I...

That is why I have a primer on my Stanadyne FM100 filter. Almost all Euro diesels have primers from the factory (older stuff). This eliminates having to kill your batts. I never said you shouldn't switch but is an unnecessary upgrade and usually a band aid like my original statement. Not sure...

Need history of truck/fuel system. Could be an IP failing or improperly calibrated, bad injector, etc. My new IP in a stock tune will not blow any black smoke unless it is in cold/advance mode and I mat the skinny, then I get a tiny bit of particulate. I would safely assume you should only get...

I passed 47 Cuck Vees this morning all broken down because of flooded crankcases...<br><br>The mechanical lift pump works fine with good hoses and as long as it been replaced in the last 30 years. Do you know how many OTR, tractors, and vessels have mechanical pumps over electric? They work...

It serves no extra function other than assisting while bleeding a new filter or freeing up the mount for an oil return fitting on a turbo upgrade. Other than that, how would an engine benefit from an electric pump. It serves the same purpose and it functions fine with the stock mechanical do how...

Gam probably wants you to buy a genuine Delco filter. I use WIX and Rotella or NAPA brand oil depending on what's on sale.

Couldn't tell you but a quick look at the tag on the diff cover will show you the ratio if it still exists. Good luck with your findings. I think the only way to see what you have is pull the cover and count the teeth along with a visual inspection to see what diff you have. It may indicate a...

Wow, that must be loud!

I don't understand why someone would paint that on such a nice clean rig. You may as well add a "fill in your handgun logo" decal telling people you have something in the glovebox. That way they know which rig to smash the glass out of first. Nice trucks...is that a custom side exit exhaust?

I think the serpentine setup would be nice if you could drop the two alternators for one large commercial sized 24v like a HMMWV and be able to run an A/C compressor. This would be a slick setup...

I think you are missing the entertainment value :) Plus you could always get them to ponder converting a Detroit 6.2 diesel back to gas by swapping a carb and distributor. This will keep a moron busy for weeks...

I would be questioning why it has an electric pump...my gut says it isn't for speedy fuel filter bleeding but rather to bandaid a possible fuel issue.

As long as you address some of the week points, I think the 6.2 will serve anyone just fine as long as you don't think it will perform like a Duramax. I agree, the haters keep prices down :) I personally love to see it compared to the Olds 5.7 diesel or how the CUCVs make great bug out vehicles...

Looks awesome...I dig the OEM military brush guard integration. I would question it's strength for such a big winch and heavy truck though.

Wow, this makes me tired. For something as simple and cheap as a MC, get both listings and return the one you don't need. These rigs are 30 year old. You are lucky if the reman exists, you are really lucky if it fits without refitting the brake lines. If you are really cheap, just get the...

If you are going way out I would consider the M1008 variants based on the running gear. Highly unlikely but if you bust a shaft, you could still limp out in 3 wheel drive. Better rear locker an lower years, this is a no brainer. Not or that an M1009 is a bad rig but I persoanally don't like...

Do you need a Blazer can or will a pickup suffice? Only reason I ask is the M1009 is geared very tall and is 1/2 ton rated running gear which is not large tire friendly. The pickup variants are already geared low and will laugh at anything 40" and smaller for tires. If you decide to get a...
