    6.2 headers

    WOW I go away and then every body checks in! Those headers are nice but pricy! They'll have to go on my "some day" list. I'm not looking to soup up my 6.2 just make it more efficient and take advantage of whats already there. Heads and manifolds have already been blue printed smoothed and...

    1800 miles, no license plates, half a pack of smokes...

    I run mine down to my camp and back all the time (200mi) and found its not bad noise wise, of course th hood blanket and bedliner on and in the cab helps so do the three layers on rubber mats. The 700r4 is a big help too, a couple weeks ago the head pipe split and broke right near the left front...

    How much is this M1028 worth?

    Well I guess it was worth $7800 to you, but I wouldn't go that high. Nice truck but I have trouble climbing in mine at the stock height.:???:

    TH400 Uphill Problems, Severe Bogging/Lugging

    Check your fuel (lift)pump pressure before changing the filter, if pressure low then decide if it's the pump or possibly a clogged filter sock in the tank. Personally my money is on the lift pump 1st, and the fuel filter2nd, and the sock last.

    Volt Meter

    Mine too. The only time it actually goes into the green is in the winter when I cycle the GP twice and then start, its in the green and the drops down.

    M1028 6.2 No key, UK

    First thing, leave the injector pump alone! (Atleast for now) If you look on the right side (passenger side) under the alternator you'll see a lift pump mounted on the side of the block that provides fuel under pressure to the injection pump. Make sure that you have fuel in the tank and that you...

    Lift pump question...

    A bit late here, glad you got it going. Do yourself a favor and pick up a AC Delco pump and just hang on to it, I used to run Auto Zone pumps to save money but had to replace them about every year. What good is a lifetime warranty if you have to replace it every year?

    instaling a new diesel motor in my m1008

    I run that section of 81 twice a day, once about 5:30-6 and again about midnight. Don't know if I've ever seen you out there, I've seen a deuce a couple times and an old Dodge PW down around Castle Creek and a couple time something I have no idea what it was but the lights on were dim VERY dim...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I used to love working on cars and trucks, did that for many many years and was happy. Then I went back to work for a shop that I had worked at years before, my oh my, how things had changed! No longer was it a small quality oriented shop, I should've bailed right then but NOOO not me I stuck it...

    6.2 headers

    Any one ever use a weld your own header kit to make a set of 6.2 headers? I think headers would really wake the old girl up.

    instaling a new diesel motor in my m1008

    In NY no minimum limit posted, many time I wish there was as I'll be cruising at 65mph and all of a sudden come across some old blue hair roaring down the road at the break neck speed of 40-45!

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I'm not in the market just curios what is it worth as is compared to finished? I know the work involved in putting that back together and a proper paint job. When you sell them have you ever figured out your per hour profit or do you not want to know :) ?

    If you packed more stuff in on and around it there would be less dust, I know that for a fact!

    Axle swap or not

    Another option yet to be mentioned is keep the 308 axles and change out the TH400 to a TH700r4 or 460LE, both will give you a lower 1st gear to get the bigger tires rolling AND an overdrive to keep them rolling at 70+mph. May be cheaper too depending on what you can do and the cost of a donor...
