    engine trans bolts

    In the TM's it does not give bolt sizes. My truck is not with me and I need to replace the bold that hold the engine and transmission together. Does anyone know what size bolts are used? I also need to replace an engine mount bolt if someone knows that.

    Tech Manuals?

    When I click on tech manuals in the sticky it just opens a new window and the main page. I am not sure what is going on or if it is just this computer I am on. I am trying to remove the starter which is already a pain plus mine is covered in a thick oil so I can't feel around very good. If I...

    Diesel in the oil

    Ok now I am enjoying the a/c even though it is a cool 96 degrees outside. I had a minor mechanical problem the other day with some knocking under the hood and a smoke screen that would make James Bond look lame. When I drained the oil it was liquid. It smelled like diesel too. So the question...

    sensor clip

    It is pushing 100 degrees out here and I only have MT phone so sorry guys that say search. I can't figure out how to unclip the wire from the sensor passenger side next to the firewall under the head. U must not be holding my tongue right or the blood sweat and oil mixture is making my hand...

    U Joint again?

    Last time I learned to use a butane torch to heat it up until the teflon or whatever squirts out. But now I have to replace the U joint by the trans. I got the old one out fine but now I can't get the new one in. I have part number 534G. But when I get it on the drive shaft it is real tight and...

    CUCV 2nd tank

    I want a second seperate fuel tank in my M1009. It looks like three fuel lines. I guess one is a vent. But I want the fuel return to return to the correct tank. What is the best way to make a dual tank setup preventing the fuel from the second tank from getting in the first tank.

    Fuel filter lines

    I ordered a new fuel filter base but it won't be here until next week. I want to get a cheap inline filter so I can go to the store. I don't have a micrometer. What are the inlet and outlet sizes? Just looking with a ruler I have 7/16 and 1/4. I thought I saw it somewhere on here but can't find...

    Fuel line to IP?

    I have been looking in the TM's and searching but can't find the the fuel line for sure. I am looking for the Hard line that bring the fuel to the IP. Do they make one that is hard all the way out of the manifold like what was on my truck? It looks like only a short piece is available that a...

    Bleeding injector lines

    I know this will open a can worms. But I rebuilt my IP and put it back on by myself. Last time I pulled the glow plugs to relieve the pressure and prevent starting. Then I cranked the engine while someone else tighten the lines down as the engine turn to make sure there was no air. But this time...

    injector lines

    Dumb question. I got two new injector lines for 6 and 8. I have them on the IP but can't get them on the injectors. The different thread sizes are only on the injectors on the head side right? The injector lines only come with one thread size right? I was about to start throwing things so I...

    Moderators

    CUCV FAQ Article is great and I love that I can quickly find the TM's but one needs to be added. TM 9-2815-237-34 it covers working on the IP and much more.

I am trying to pull it out but it seems to be stuck. It has moved back about 1/2 inch but wont come out. I do...

    Diesel Mechanic Houston area

    I am trying to see if there is someone on here that gets shop rates at M&D. I am not asking for prices to be posted just PM me. I need to get my IP rebuilt but the price I get is almost twice what I can get it for if I ship it out. I would prefer to have to done local but I only have my...

    M1009-M1008 front fenders?

    Can the M1008 front fenders bolt on the M1009? I understand 36" tires will fit the M1008 so will a fender swap allow the bigger tires without lifting? I have 33X12.5 on now so I can do any lifting to get ready but I would like to do as little lifting as possible. I thought about cutting the...

    Injector Pump repair

    Has anybody on here cracked open an IP and fixed it? I only have to go in the top part but not sure how much trouble it is. I have a back-up IP and want to know which is easier. Swapping the IP's or fixing it on the truck?

    Fuel Preasure Switch temp fix

    This is not a permanent fix! I went to pick my son up from school and when I stopped diesel was poring out of my truck. I drove it home and opened the hood. Diesel was coming out of the fuel filter. I swapped the filter out but it kept leaking. I could see it was coming out about the middle. I...

    Cigarette lighter?

    I found a bunch of threads about where to tap a cigarette lighter. I am wiring to the front battery. But my lighter does not tell me which is positive and which is negative. I can see one goes to the middle to touch the front part of the plug and one wire goes to the outside to touch the sides...
