Ok, well, dropped the transmission pan today. And you were right, no drain plug. I could have sworn that I had seen one on it before... :shrugs: Anyway, pan was clean. There was a "doughnut" magnet about 2 1/2" across in the bottom of the pan. It had a layer of "sludge" on it, which felt...

You can't even hardly get a bill for less than $20 if two people go to a fast food restaurant anymore... let alone a truck service bill. Anyway, I'll drop the pan, look it over, see if I can see any seen any metal shavings or anything. Change the filter and fluid... which only changes out about...

hummm..... should've read that manual closer... guess I'm used to newer vehicles which have longer service changes on the trans fluid. And yeah, I guess I was mostly thinking about the milage too. I'm usually pretty good about keeping up with stuff like that, most of the time even changing...

Hummm.... what happened to the last update I posted a few weeks ago...? Well, what I thought I posted before, was that the new GP's worked! No More Smoke! [thumbzup] The Truck has been running good, the only other issue I had was the new temp sensor for the idiot light died after less than 2...

Ok all, I know its been a few days, just been busy but here's a quick update As per your all's suggestion, I went to pull the glow plugs last week, and found that the far back wire had come off the plug... so I figured well maybe that was my only issue, so I put the wire back on and thought I...

Hum, ok hadn't thought of "testing" gp's that way, but that should work just fine. Any specific amp setting matter much? 200 amp jump start? 35 amp? And yeah if the tip isn't getting hot, the rest of the plug doesn't even matter, as basically only the tip is actually exposed to the cylinder...

bypass resistors? The original glow plug system is still intact on this truck. In fact, I installed a new card, solenoid, wait light bulb, and AC delco OE plugs about 5 years ago. They cycle on and off just like they're supposed to. I did also install a glow plug manual override switch (with...

That is what I was figuring is the issue. I didn't have a vacuum pump, so instead I filled the little bowel where the pressure sensor was with water-soap mixture, and pressurized the line. Didn't see any bubbles or anything, thought it was good to go. I then filled it with the right stuff. I'm...

Hey all, thought I would post a quick update. Since my last post, we've driven the truck about... 100 miles, over several local trips to town etc. Have a couple issues: *Still have white smoke coming out the passengers exhaust on cold start after sitting overnight. Which again the...

Well, this is the sensor in the drivers side head, but at the radiator end (not firewall end)?

Will Check it today, will report back. Going to try to finish wiring the gauges, and then take it for a drive. EDIT: Seems to idle smooth by the way. I am going to have to replace the temp sensor in the front end of the drivers side head, as the blade got broke off somehow. Can't remember if...

Ok, well I got everything buttoned up, except for the oil pressure gauge and temp gauge. I did get the block off plate on the passengers side head modified, and I put the temperature gauge sending unit in there. I'll post a couple photos of it tomorrow, although it's not much to look at...

Yeah no kidding... hope it fights just as hard to stay running

Nice Looking engine... I really wish I had pulled this engine when i first started, if I had to do it over (Which I Pray that I Never Do) I would pull the engine before doing anything else.

Ok guys, wanted to post an Update. Good News: It did finally bleed the air out... Ken you are correct, I didn't have the pink wire on for a bit, for some reason I was thinking it had to be taken off... until I got to thinking about the solenoid shut off valve, its not going to open without...

well... so far I have plenty fuel, with no air, to the filter (when the vent was open)... but we have not seen a drop come out the injector lines. I've got all glow plugs pulled, and have all injector lines loose, with one line completely off, yet we haven't seen a drop of fuel. And we've...

Well, if I had an extra regular block off plate, I could probably make one myself. I don't want to really try it with the original block off plate, as if I screw it up, then I won't be able to run the truck. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I think I can make the whole plate... Its...

I had thought about getting another threaded block off plate before. Guess I should have stuck with that idea. I'll change my wanted ad and see what I can find. Thanks

well, I guess the most accurate would be in the head? There just isn't any more ports open. Could I pull one of the other sensors, like the glow plug temp sensor or ?, and put it in the this pipe and then install my temp gauge sending unit where it was, and get a more accurate temp? I...

Hey guys, will this coolant crossover tube fit the 6.2L? It looks like it will. Someone sent me these pics, it is supposed to be from a HMMWV. I want to add a port for the the temperature gauge sending unit.
