    D60/14BFF Axle Swap on M1009

    I have cross over high steer, the sway bar connects just below my tie rod to the pads that mount the springs to the axle. There is enough room for the sway bar to connect and go under the steering rod and tie rod. my issue would be if I could get the mount at the cross member to drop far...

    New 6.2L Rebuild, Won't start

    if you have been cranking it that long then you for sure have a fuel delivery problem. As suggested start from the back and work your way forward. check to see that you have fuel and pressure at each point. leaving fuel pump entering fuel filter exit fuel filter only way to check IP is to keep...

    New 6.2L Rebuild, Won't start

    I agree with barman, maybe you need to crank it some more. you can pull the glow plugs and crank it until you smell some diesel. In order to prime the entire system it will take some cranking and the faster you can spin it the faster it will start. The glow plugs removed will keep the wear and...

    New 6.2L Rebuild, Won't start

    it sounds like timing. how far did you break the motor down, did you mess with the timing chain also and not just the iP gear. IF it "motored" meaning it partially fired but would not run, It is either fuel delivery problem which it sounds like you checked that and it is ok. it is most likely...

    m1010 Stalling/ Wont go over 5mph

    you can remove the motor mount bolt and put a jack under that side of engine and pick it up some, if your fenders are not rusted out, removing the passenger tire and inner fender makes it real easy especially once jacked up a couple of inches.

    m1010 Stalling/ Wont go over 5mph

    try your fuel filter first. if you have not changed it since you got the truck. the insides can deteriorate and cause very little fuel flow. It will act like the fuel pump Is out. After that then do the fuel pump. If you want it fixed for the weekend, you may just want to replace the...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    just getting some clean up done while the motor is out and easy to get to. I was surprised how well it cleaned up. There was a coat of spray paint on the bottom. I was going to clean it up and put another coat of green. It cleaned up so well, I think I will leave it like it is. The bottom of...

    CUCV Integrated winch mount.

    I don't like using the brushgaurd for that much pulling. I think it is a week point I also think it messes up a good brush guard. I know there are kits like what I built but nothing as over built as mine but I think heavy duty kits like my receiver mount and winch mount would be a better kit to...

    good luck with am general. I have a 2016 GEP and they did not know they switched forges sometime in 2014. Navistar no longer cast the 6.5 GEP. It is now cast by Dalton Forge. I received my motor and it did not have Navistar markings so I was going to send it back. It took me a week to get a...

    Adding a tach?

    I can see in the picture the stud sticking out that has nothing connected to it, I believe the empty stud on your alt is where you want to connect the Dakota digital. On the drivers side there will be a single wire with push on plug that goes on that stud if the alt were on the drivers side. I...

    Coolant spraying out

    the arp studs are re-usable and actually torque to 90lbs instead of the 1/4 turn guess what torque you have now. The heads have dowels. you put the heads on first, the studs screw in finger tight use good thread seal on threads because there is none under the washer and nut. you then torque...

    Adding a tach?

    The ste/ice connection goes to the drivers side alt. If the truck has been converted to 12 volt and the drivers alt removed then the wiring will not be connected anymore and thus you will need to go directly to the passenger side alt.

    Fuel leak / starting issue

    Honda. can you give us info on that tank. Also, can it be done without cutting bed? Looks like that was not completely necessary and I would like the larger tank but no hole in bed. does the factory tank guard/shield work with your new tank or was it deleted. Thanks Rich

    Headlights/fuse box

    have you checked your voltages from batts and alt. for lights to burn out quickly they are normally getting to much voltage. I believe some fuses stay hot all the time not sure which. if you get sparks then you got a load. find out what is on that fuse ( I don't know without looking at...

    Adding a tach?

    steering column gauge mount in order to use the lmc tach, you need the gauge cluster that has the associated printed circuit board. I used the lmc tach, works great, looks factory but my gauge cluster is highly modified and everything but the lights is wired individually. the printed circuit...
