The truck started for the first time today. I have a fuel leek under the injection pump, one fuel line is leeking. I thought I tightend them well but didn't. Looks like the bottom line so the intake needs to come back off. The motor sounded well and alternators are charging.
Today I removed the glow plugs, loosened the injector line at injectors. I have fuel at most injectors, not a lot but at least some. My battery's tested good after charging, but one goes low after only a few attempts at cranking. I will need to replace them but I need to hear this truck run...
I broke the tab off the idiot light sending unit in the block. I ordered a new part GM 25037177. Thank to rain I am unable to work today, I need a rest. I have read posts on how long it takes to change out pumps, it took me 4 days trying my best.
I have installed a new injection pump and all new injectors. New fuel filter all new fuel lines and tested the lift pump. The glow plugs have been replaced and broken gp wires fixed. I am almost ready to start, recharging battery's now.
I think that will work fine. I want to do the same type set up with my generator and air compressor. Keeping equipment out of the weather and a dry place to work on it is a good thing. Also helps keep noise down.
This truck has a np208 transfer case, per tag on case. I want to install camper windows on box, but dont know how thick the walls are on the fiberglass box.
I have allmost all the parts I will need to get this truck running, I think. I found a nos takeoff starter and the brace to the block. I bought a complete set of military manuales. Alos found a GM traning manual just for the 6.2 enging. This has many clear full page diagrams of every compent. I...
joshuak thank you for your offer to help post photos. I have never sent a text in my life, I have daughters to help when they can. My oldest just graduated nursing with honors past Friday. I hope to have some photos posted soon.
I have a back injury and a failed knee replacment, and am 60 years old. I cant work like I want and cant find help. I have lost over a 100 lbs and all my mussel mass. But I am unable to sit still, I need to work.
I have a nos injection pump head and rotor pn 31816. I have searched and not found info on swapping just the head. I charged the battery and will take them for testing they are a few years old. I also ordered replacement cab corners and rocker panels.
I am so sore and stiff today from a combation of rain and working under the truck yesterday. I am trying to find someone to help as I really cant do this type of work anymore. I have ordered starter braces, injectors and all rubber fuel and vacuum lines. I still need the in tank sock filter.
I was able to partly remove the starter and see the flex plate teeth. I found the starter brace was missing. I was unable to remove the inspection cover, The bolts would not budge, they may have been Loctite. The teeth that I can see don't look bad but I need to turn the engine over.
I got the truck home and had a chance to look it over . I had my daughter take photos of the truck and the tags we hope to post them shortly. I cleared a bunch of scrap lumber from the box and finely got to go inside it.
