    M1009 engine buzzing

    My1985 m1009 which I've now had for a year makes a metallic buzzing sound somewhere between 900-1400 rpm (a guess with no tach) in park N and 1-3. At idle it will sound more like a chain clanking. I have searched for and found good things to check. I checked the flexplate and bolts, found no...

    Cucv extreme rattle noise

    "My M1008 had a rattle when I got it. It was a low rpm thing and normally when idling against the torque converter or I could say idling in gear. Anyway, any little pull, acceleration, would make it go away. The truck always seemed rock solid, but the rattle kept getting worse. It finally got...

    Can someone identify this?

    Thanks guys, this vehicle was privately owned before I got it. In doing work on it I've noticed that bolts and studs don't match up to TM's. I'm guessing there's been some questionable work performed. The piece in question came from the oil pan side of the pick-up screen. You can't see from...

    Can someone identify this?

    I pulled the oil pump on the M1028 the other day and this came out of the pick-up screen. Looks to me like a needle bearing with a small part cut out of the end.

    civi IP vs mil IP

    I just recently received a rebuilt IP from Badger Diesel. It is a civilian HD pump for 6.2. He says it will replace the military spec pump that I pulled off. My question is, should I keep the mil pump for any reason or send it back to him for my core charge. Thank you in advance. Hopefully I'm...
