Greased all chasis fittings, fabbed up battery hold-downs, cleaned up wiring. -Dave

PropDr, Makes sense. I think this is more or less what it did by itself, because there is no other explanation. The trucks electrical is very good and as you know I have PM'd the whole dang thing. Thanks for the input and thanks for the help the other day. If I can ever return the favor, don't...

I will be adding a turbo and air. From what I understand the OEM suburbans had the air on the drivers side. So that OEM bracket should work. And if buying the NAP kit, have them add the hose kit for the civvy blazer, instead of the designated CUCV they sell. Right? Anyone off hand know where...

For the death wobble, run a heavier shock for the steering dampener. This is one of the most overlooked aspects of death wobble. Whatever the stock shock is rated, go up a few notches or more. Also, toe in on alignment, about 1/4-3/8 inch, yes it will wear the inside of the tires sooner than...

Grease, no, I was not using any when rebuilding, and I had clean hands, tools, and AO. As far as MPGs go, time will tell. -Dave

I also have Ford Superdutys and my M1009 rides MUCH smoother. A LOT! Mileage=PM all the way, add a turbo-Banks sidewinder. I get about 20 mpg in mine. My build thread is in my signature. Best wishes, Dave

Dang! Sorry SS. I was on a roll looking for him. I am guilty. -Dave

I did. I rebuilt both as you know and oddly enough, after a few miles they started working as they should. The only thing we can come up with is the brushes had to make better contact. Maybe there was some kind of coating on them? This is still an unsolved mystery. To err on the side of caution...

Hey guys, I've read the Alternative Fuel Forum, and also researched many other sites as I definitly want to do this. Now I know this thread is about WMO and not Bio-diesel. Today at Diesel Injection Services in San Bernardino, Lou, one of the owners, was showing me photos of IP pumps from 29...

Or call these guys. CUCV Series -Dave

Here you go. There's one on ebay. Just type in "M1009 Data plate" Dave

None on his website, but maybe call him. M1009 | Military Vehicles For Sale | Military Trucks For Sale | M35 A2 | 5 Ton | M151 A1 A2 | Surplus Parts - TNJ Murray -Dave

ok, so I went to Diesel Injection Services in San Bernardino today, and Lou, a very wise, long in the tooth and experienced diesel guru heard it and immediately said "Your timing is advanced." I shut it down and he told me to look at the set marks on the IP versus the block. He stated the IP...

Found this at Dieselplace.com also "could be a stuck injector too, that sounds the same like you lost a bearing. crack the fuellines one by one with the mill idling, if the banging disappears then that's the critter causing it." Will do this tomorrow. Ideas/thoughts? Thanks-Dave

Found this on another forum. "A bad injector could be the problem,dumping too much fuel into a cylinder." Thoughts? Thanks, Dave

:ditto: JB weld will work. We smashed a pan on a chevy cavalier at Barstow (don't ask) and we used a ton of jb and toilet paper- picture paper mache- and made it home-86 miles. The busted area was approx 5" square. This was temp of course, but we have used it on old atc's and motorcycles...

Hey SS, My 6.2 starts up and humms a good song, but sometimes when I put it under load, it starts being REAL LOUD. it sounds like a dang Peterbuilt idling. CLACK-CLACK-CLACK-CLACK-CLACK It's not as if a piston is flying around or anything, but, idk, timing??? I can shut her down and...

weld it. it will hold oil just like a new one. and btw, weld it slowly, in spurts as to not disform it with heat.
