Replaced my temperature sending unit and light now seems to stay off but my thermostat housing was leaking after I replaced the thermostat. Another day, another gasket. My old sending unit had a crappy looking soldering spot that fell off when I removed it. Makes me wonder if that was the...

So TM9-2320-289-20P FIGURE 46. ENGINE OIL PRESSURE AND WATER TEMPERATURE SENDING UNITS shows item 1 in the figure to be: - 1 PAOZZ 11862 25037177 TRANSMITTER,TEMPERA The 25037177 is the GM part number which converts to an ACDELCO GM D1863B. This converts to an O'Reilly TS81

Appreciate the response. You don't happen to have a good part number/source for that sender. Thinking this is the one on the front of the engine drivers side next to the first glow plug. I see a ACDELCO 2134792 {#88865045} Sensor; GM Original Equipment 1/2 Inch x 14 Thread; With Gauge and...

Not hijacking but adding content... Bottom Line Up Front -would a 195 degree thermo make your coolant light stay on ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My Engine Coolant Temperature Light (shown as number 4 on page 2-2 of TM 9-2320-289-10) has been lighting up and staying on when running the engine...

I had a similar issue and found this thread really helpful. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/doghead-starter-relay-mod-rebuilt-gear-reduction-starter-run-away.119352/

Jahsbsh welcome to the forum. I completely echo what Sharecropper said. Look at the site under the CUCV forum. Check out the Helpful Threads https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucv-helpful-threads.123199/ which contains many of the standard modifications that you will end up doing when...

Thanks for the info as I thought that was a sure thing.

I appreciate it and will keep you in mind. Have a full set of new gaskets and bolts!

I am right there with you. This site has been great and appreciate all the support that you and others regularly give. From my purchase several years ago to date, this is the best resource hands down for MIL vehicles. I'm just at a point where I am looking for options if the guy fixing it...

Pretty sure it is a head gasket issue. Was pressurizing the radiator and causing coolant to overflow. so replaced the water pump, radiator, and thermostat. Was still getting pressure in the radiator but not making oil (water past the gasket into the oil system). Oil has been clean with no...

Would appreciate some help if anyone knows a mechanic in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach greater area of VA. I have a guy but he just can't seem to finish the job. Most of the shops around here don't want to mess with vintage diesels. I appreciate any help.

Thanks. Guessing the process is similar to a gas engine plus pulling the pink wire on the injection pump. I'm sure somewhere in the tech manuals it states what the proper pressure and variation between cylinders is but will take the answer if you know it!

Thanks. I replaced the glow plugs not too long ago so they should come out fairly easily. I have never touched the injectors so was hoping to stay away from those.

Sounds like you have air in the system and a misaligned starter. Perhaps the bucking of the truck when it ran out loosened up your starter and now it is misaligned. It is very easy to get one in wrong and many a lazy person has left the support bracket off which will really mess up things. I...

I think I have a blown head gasket but my carbon testing fluid is telling me otherwise. The top chamber is supposed to turn from blue to green but I tested it twice and same results. I am loosing coolant and seeing bubbles in the radiator. I am not "making oil" and the color is a nice brown...

Pics of A&B and a sound recording of C would do just finerofl

Would be great to see some pics of that!

Started my 1009 today! Had been sitting idle for a full year due to health problems I had been recovering from and finally go to working on it. Was diagnosing some starter hang issues that I was working on before my back surgery. I figured why not try and see if the batteries had a charge -...

Doghead - yes great post and explanation. Only thing that I think was different in my situation is that I had my old 27MT rebuilt.

Appreciate your input but I guess there are differing views here http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?116290-Starter-Rebuild I know it's all worth what I paid for it too and I was motivated by laziness in the decrease in work I would do laying in the mud. If I didn't have the issue...
