Ever since I bought my truck 1.5 years ago the speedo would bounce between 5 and 25 below 25 mph. I noticed however that with the 105+ weather that has become a bigger problem where now it goes from 5-50 below about 55. The speedo cable was chirping about 3 months ago so I pulled it out of its...

Hmmm missing injector? Let the engine get ice cold then start it and run it for 30 sec to a min. Then shut it off and feel each port on the exhaust manifold. If one is cold while the rest are hot that cylinder is having issues.

I towed a trailer of tools and a bobcat. I probably about 2,000lbs. Is everyone else's really slow off the line with a trailer? once it gets above like 1300rpm it starts to go at a decent acceleration but that first launch is real slow.

I think this may work...a rough measurement of my cap gave a 2.5" measurement but I wasn't sure where to measure from. Locking Diesel Fuel Cap, 2-1/4 Fill Neck, FTA-C-02: eBay Motors (item 350240579979 end time Jun-11-10 15:00:27 PDT)

Going back to the original question what did you do to fix it?

Governor. Also do the diesels have any sort of shift kit to compensate for the low RPM shifts? Mine always ****s real firm compared to other cars...unless it has a trailer behind it.

Ok so I have discovered that the t-stat that I put in from autozone was WAY to small to let it flow and got a stant 190* one and it runs about 190 on level ground and 195 up good size hills. Does that sound about right or should it stay at 190* the entire time. Gonna be pulling a 1500lbs car...

Mine is now doing the same thing!!! Small trailer = 210* normal driving and it is running 190-200 with a 180 stat. Radiator was just done by a shop, new water pump, t stat is 3 months old, new fan clutch. 90* outside WTF?

The system was burped. The hoses were good. I have a mechanical temp gauge where the dummy light sensor used to be and I think it is working as the temps only spike on hills and if I accel hard off a light or two, not just showing hot all the time. It isn't getting hot unless I get on the gas...

Ran prestone flush througt it with no result. Pulled a 2500 lbs trailer today and up hill it went to 210 * :( I just pulled the t-stat out and with no t stat it ran about 185* after 3/4 mile of 3/4 throttle on a 6% grade. That mean it was the t stat or should it be cooler than that without a stat?

How so the hummer ones work? Don't they go where the vac pump is?

Does anyone know if a tach that uses the alt take off and says "Has 4/6/8/A/B alternator settings." would work with a cucv?

In a diesel more fuel = more fuel burned so more heat. In a gas you hit a point here there is more fuel to burn than the butterfly valves will allow air to burn so it only can burn a portion of the fuel and becomes inefficient and cools down sicnce it isn't burning all the fuel ( think of it as...

I'm also interested in this. It just uses a commercial size filler right?

How much does your trucks temp fluctuate during regular driving and up hills? Mine bounces around in the range of 180-190 but as it has gotten hot out (mid to upper 90s ) it has gotten to 195-200 doing 50Mph up hills. I just replaced the water pump, fan clutch, had the radiator cleaned out by a...

Any ideas on what I need if I have a m1009 on 36s and regeared to 4.11? 65=45 right now.

My radiator is a parallelogram shape not a rectangle. Doesn't leak or anything but it doesn't want to fit in the mounts. Any way to fix it without taking it somewhere?

Anyone know if gmb waterpumps are good. I have the radiator out as it was leaking just a little and I am getting it fixed under warranty. I am going to do a new water pump and when I bought the truck it had a gmb waterpump sitting in the back sealed in it's box. Is this a decent pump? I know...

There is no water in the oil, the coolant level stays the same, and it doesn't smoke out one pipe only. I will watch for bubbles when I get it all put back together (doing a flush and water pump). The fan clutch is pretty solid when the truck is cold and a little less solid when hot, but I can...

Over the last few days my truck has been running hot. It did this about a month ago and I changed the T-Stat and it fixed it (went from a 190 to a 180). After that it never went over 190. This week I have done about twice my normal driving and noticed it gets to 190 a lot easier and has been...
