    Any Good Diesel Mechanics in Southern California??

    I saw that and thought the same thing. I thought to be on the safe side that I should err on the side of caution and keep my foot out of my mouth. I still can't believe that is where the oil drain plug could be located. Maybe a repair job, strange. It does look like it is leaking.

    Yeah, defiantly the bling rims got to go, but the springs stay. Remember, getting in and out of your vehicle, at some peoples age, starts to become a concern!

    Any Good Diesel Mechanics in Southern California??

    I would make sure all the water pump bolts are tight. Easy 10 minute job. Guetintight. It can't leak from the bottom of the p[ump, it has to be leaking from a gasket, a bolt, or the weep hole. I would ask your mechanic if he used thread sealer on the pump bolts.

    Any Good Diesel Mechanics in Southern California??

    All you have to do is ask the guy if he off set the seal. If he is honest and says that he did not, then he should fix it for free. First make sure the seal is where the leak is coming from. The coolant leak may be coming from somewhere else. Check the thermostat for leaking, check the coolant...

    Fuel system drawing a vacuum

    If I remember correctly the correct fuel pump if you pull down on the lever it will immediately have resistance and begin to pump. on the incorrect one, the lever will have some play before it engages.

    Fuel system drawing a vacuum

    Have you cracked the injector lines and bled all the air out at the injectors? You said it squirts fuel out of the fuel pump, is it a new pump, and the right pump? It might be an Injection pump issue. You probably already know, that there are two fuel pumps that fit but only one is the correct...

    M1008 Build

    I would have paid money to watch a video of you running that thing at top speed. That would have been more fun than doing it myself, I think. You are doing a great job. You must really be enjoying restoring a piece of Military history back to pristine condition.

    M1008 Transmission - Now Vacuum woes

    It's common for the vacuum regulators to go out, so I think you made a smart choice. Since you have the vacuum gauge coming, I would test everything before you change parts so you know what the problem was. Like I said, change all the rubber vacuum hoses and then diagnose your problem. If it...

    It's hard to tell from the picture, but if it's attached to the IP then it's you're VRC valve. It regulates the amount of vacuum from the pump to your transmission based on your throttle position.
