    Starter relay

    The two purples were wired straight to one another . Idk just seemed really odd to me. It worked... I’m glad to have discovered it and have made it “right”. The doghead mod only took about thirty minutes to complete. Thanks to all!

    Starter relay

    Hello all, So I’ve been looking into the doghead mod and thought “well I’ve had starter issues in the past, sometimes it can take a second to start spinning after I turn the key”. So I went to take a look and this is what I found. can anyone tell me why someone would wire it in such a way? I...

    Glow Plug 12 Volt Conversion

    I didn’t know this until I had already removed the glow plugs and tried to fit the new ones on. I ended up taking the new GP’s over to the belt sander to file the tabs so they would fit in the connector.

    6.2 headers

    What kind and how big of exhaust are you going with? I’d like to change mine but don’t know if it’s left better stock. I would like to know how flowmasters sound on a non turbo’d diesel

    I literally just fixed the same thing last night . I drilled a small hole and put a screw in it to hold the cable. Found a screw with a smooth end .

    how do I add pics to a thread

    You might could select certain images from your google cloud and save them individually to your desktop or Home Screen , then click and drag said image to your post. I’m just guessing.

    Tips and advice for new owners

    I’ll start off by saying the proper starter shims, bracket and proper bolts should be used if you don’t want issues with that. Bracket # 23502557 starter bolts # 15544950

    Tips and advice for new owners

    I wanted to make a thread that I thought would be valuable and informative for new owners of m1008’s and m1009’s, also people like myself new to the 6.2 liter . What are things that should be done to keep the engine in good shape, and the vehicle in good running condition as a whole? Or how...

    Starter bolt issues (again)

    I worked on it tonight for a couple hours, extracted the broken bolt and tried to measure clearance... I really couldn’t see. I went ahead and added two shims thinking if it was too much I could easily take one out. So I started with 1/32 shim now at 3/32. Installed starter with new bolts and...

    I had no idea there were shims for the nose of the starter

    Starter bolt issues (again)

    Thanks, that’s the lead I was looking for. I have wondered in the past if the starter was “too close” to the flywheel and thus causing stress on the bolts.

    Starter bolt issues (again)

    I ask this because I haven’t seen a thread about this when correct bolts and correct bracket was applied .

    Starter bolt issues (again)

    Hello all, I know this subject has been beat to death in this forum. This is the third time in 4 or five months I’ve had to drill out a starter bolt. Last time this happened I added the correct starter bracket that It did not have when I bought it. Also put gm starter bolts # 15544950. Both of...

    Thank you! I did not realize harbor freight made a roll on bed liner. I’ll definitely go with that when that time comes

    Thank you. It was beat up pretty badly to begin with. I won’t be doing too much to it anytime soon but the next thing will be to work on the interior (probably next year or so). Has anyone sprayed their floor with that raptor liner?
