    injector line problems.

    make sure to hold the injector when installing the lines . If you tighten the line too much the injector will also turn. The 6.2 diesel uses 2 types of lines one for injectors that are at a angel and one that is strait. this depends on the year and any mods from previous repairs.

    removing vavle covers: what else to do?

    You can leave the lines on the pump just takes alitle fenes. You can use gaskets but rtv works well. I would change the oil sending unit easy to get to and cheap insurance. Like the other post also change crossover tube gaskets and thermostat. Clean the glow plug conectors and other sending...

    M1008 Brakes Pull Left

    Ill try this for a beer. Jack the truck up and check the front springs. I would think that the left spring is sliding on the axel perch and the spring bolt is not tight in the hole in the perch. The springs could also be weak and the left one is weaker than the left and allowing the axel to move...

    the truck will not start. Give more info of what you are looking at. The truck is hard to start. You dont hear the gps click when the switch is turned.

Tape the wires one at a time not together. the rope will not be as tight as a belt so it will be slipping dont try...

    Air in fuel AGAIN

    You more than likely have a bad fuel filter base. Change to a round filter and fix the problem. I got one from Walmark it was in with the fishing gear and was 26.00 dolars or so. The filter reads not to use for diesel but mine has den on my truck for 3 months and ben fine. Also a fram fuel...

    governer adjustment

    I think what you are worried about is the truck overheating and her not looking at the guage. You can get a guage that has a adjustable second needle that hocks to a control box and can then be wired to the injection pump removing the wire on the pump that is their now. When the truck is driven...

    Glowplug resistor block

    Look to see if they changed the wireing to the relay to 12 volts. I had a problem with one truck and changed it to manual switch and ran new cable with 12 volts to the relay. The relay stoped working , changed the wireing back to the resistor block and now it works again. I still use a manual...

    Ran out of fuel ):

    If the guage is not reading at the lower fuel in the tank try to clean the sending unit. I soak them in muritiac acid for cleaning bricks. Just soak for two minutes then rinse with fuel and put it back in the tank. Dont scrub it or wipe it at all just soak it. The sending units are very easy bo...
