So when these go bad they usually stop engaging fully right? Do they ever stay engaged? I started mine cold this morning and the fan tore through about 4 rolled up newspapers. I have been getting bad mileage and the power has seemed down a little bit lately. I also never see temperatures over...
So I was driving home yesterday and it was just like any other day except my temperature gauge never moved. My heater was still blowing hot so I figured I had cut the line or something. The drive is only about 5 miles When I got home I checked and my coolant was down about 6 inches (in the...
Ok so my gen 2 light is very dim, actually I can't see it at all in the day light. To turn it off and move the voltage gauge into the green I have to rev the sh** out of my motor. Both alternators were rebuilt less than a year ago. My gen 1 light is bright and just takes a light tap of the...
When I went to start the turbo project on my 84 cucv blazer I saw that there were many questions on how to turbo a 6.2, but no way of showing how to do it. So I decided to document my process and create a pictorial tutorial. I will probably add more as I remember more. Keep in mind I am 17...
So if the front battery is 12V and you can hook 12V stuff up to it, can you jump start and be jump started if you hook up to the front battery? This is assuming that your rear battery is good.
(on a side note my m1009 is succesfully turbo now I will write a tutorial eventually.)
Hey everyone I am most of the way through my turbo project (using 6.5 parts) on my m1009. I just tryed to bolt the upper intake and my vacuum thing for the tranmission on the ip is in the way:x. Anyone have any suggestions?
Hey everyone I just picked up a complete turbo set up from a 6.5 diesel. Right now it looks like my major problems are going to be to build a crossover pipe and the oil lines. Does anyone have pictures of a similar set up on a cucv? Also does the second battery get in the way?
Thanks as...
Hey everyone I need some help with my dash lights, I have power coming from the headlight switch and the dimmer works fine. The horn and courtesy light work fine, my generator, blinker and low coolant lights all work. I really could use some help, and have some trouble following circuits in...
Alright, I have done some searching but I am still stumped. I have no parking lights, dash lights or tail lights. My low and highbeams, brake lights, and turn signals and hazards all work great. I am not very good about the electrical aspect of cars so I'm not really sure where to start. All...
Hey I just pulled an injector pump off a civilian 6.2 suburban. The pump is a stanadyne DB2, I was wondering what would be involved to put it on my m1009? Also I dont see any timing marks on the civilian pump.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Mike
Hey everyone I need some help again. I took off my intake manifold and I can fell a small threaded whole on the bottom of the injector pump. It seems to me like that is where my fuel leak is. Is there a bolt missing? does something need to be tightened? or is it just leaking seals? When I...
Hey everyone I am really stumped on an oil leak and could use any help I can get. I have a leak somewhere above the oil filter, It runs on the headers, then down the exhuast then drips all over my driveway. The leak will leave about a 4 inch circle whenever I park it after a drive.
Thanks...
