did Bubba know to install a diesel drain tube in the back of the block to keep fuel from getting onto the clutch disc & causing premature slippage?
Good question but Bubba may have been good enough to not allow diesel fuel leakage in the first place. Bubba said "If it leaks fix it." And I had an 82 K30 dually with the factory 4 speed 6.2 diesel. When I parted it out I don't recall seeing a drain tube. I seen mention of it and looked for it and it wasn't there. It was a township plow truck and rusted badly with 35K miles on it. salt spreader life tends to do that quickly. But do tell is this tube metal or plastic. Curious because I never seen one. And like I said if it don't leak diesel fuel in the valley all will be well? I ask because a friend just put the big heavy steel 4 speed in his M1009. Hated it and ended up selling it. I told him to rebuild the TH400. But just curious about this tube. Is it threaded into the hole in the rear block valley? Have a Great Day.
