    Valve Issue?

    I was thinking more along the lines of the valve not opening or sticking part of the way open and not hitting the piston. The whole truck only has 58,000miles on it so I would hope its not a bad lifter. It has a 1.5 year old injection pump, but it could be an injector I guess. Oh and the fuel...

    Valve Issue?

    Thats very true...ill have to do that next time im back there. Hopefully the intermittent nature of it wont just give me false good numbers on a compression test. I also hadn't ever head of compression being forced up the injectors.

    Valve Issue?

    I think it is valve related as it makes a very loud tick out of only the drivers side of the intake with the air filter out

    White smoke

    They smoke white whens its cold as they aren't burning 100% of the fuel till the engine warms up. As long as it goes away once the motor warms up then its completely normal.

    Valve Issue?

    My truck sat for about 4 months without being driven while I was away. When I went to start it up again I thought it would be a good idea to lube up the top end of the motor before starting it so I disconnected the cutoff wire from the IP and cranked it over for about 10 seconds without it...

    Starter Engagement

    Had some help this morning and was able to confirm the bendix is the issue. Starter gear moves out and engages flexplate, but starter spins independently of the gear. Pulled it and dropped it off at the local rebuilder who said he would try to have it done tomorrow afternoon. I would do it...

    Starter Engagement

    Replaced my flex plate about 2 years ago when the tranny was done as there was a few teeth that were messed up from having the starter relay stick. Since then it has always started with no grinding or problems of any kind. Today I went to start it up as usual and it just spun like the starter...

    About to go to the parts store to change my motor and transmission mounts since they are super sagged and want to change the freeze plug under the drivers side motor mount as it is weeping a little. I didn't see in the TM what size it is or the best way to install it. What to people use for...

    Brake Combination (Proportioning) Valve

    I'm talking about the valve under the front crossmember that can set the brake warning light on. Is that one out of production?

    Brake Combination (Proportioning) Valve

    So mine started leaking from where the rear brake line connects to it. I took it apart to clean it and hopefully get it to seal up so I wouldn't keep getting air in my rear brakes. Long story short I pinched the seal inside and it got tore apart when I put it back together. Where can I get a new...

    What neighbors have to say about my new M1009

    The m1009 is not over 3/4 ton so you shouldn't have a problem, but if they give you a hard time tell them it's a 1/2 ton blazer and they probably won't know the difference.

    CUCV Wont accelerate Wont rev in neutral until RPMs creep up

    Eliminating the check valve is a short-term fix for a failing injection pump. If yours in missing then that alone wont cause a problem.

    Found a Cummins 5.9bt for sale

    Oh, Not sure exactly as mine is in a dodge, but my friend has one in a grand chrokee and I think instead of having the computer to do the torque converter lockup and OD shift he has it on switches. So he shifts 1-3 (manual valvebody) then he flips a switch and it goes into OD and then he flips...
