    m1009 Arctic Heater fuel pump

    the fuel pump and supply voltage is 24 volts the solenoids are 24 volts but the igniter is 12 volts the voltage is dropped through the big resister. I at one time would convert them to work on 12 volts, but with parts being expensive, and fuel being so expensive in the bush. I'm happy to wait...

    Interested in M817

    I wouldn't know be advised that I paid 7 k for an lmtv that I drove away from the gov plannet yard. its worth what you are willing to pay for it but check with cummins and see what a pt pump for a ntc 250 costs and deduct that amount from what you had budgeted for buying one of these cool trucks .

    Check engine light on m1088a1 (limp mode?)

    you don't need et to check out a 3126 you can do it with a prolink and cartage you can buy inexpensively off e-bay. that would be the way to go to retrieve codes, likely your total cost would be the same as having a cat tech plug in with e-t. there are no trim codes to put in when replacing...

    Brake Issue on Deuce

    start with a major brake adjustment, pumping the brakes is an indication of extreme clearance in side the drums. As some one else mentioned, if you have to do a major adjustment you should also look at lining thickness, you never know how many times in the past this has been done. drums are...

    the cummins pt pump is no fun to put in but it can be done with a bit of swearing I have only seen 1 fail I would look closer at the supply lines and stand pipe in the tank first. I have seen ulsd deteriorate older fuel hoses and cause them to collapse inside

    M923A2 please help me I.D. A part, getting frustrated

    if it is building too much pressure the problem is in the governor or air drier which is where your signal comes from usually it is a fault with the governor. they ar cheap and available at all napa stores

    What's your best 'that was dumb' moment involving your 5 ton?

    letting your buddy tell you a 20,000 pound truck can get back to where he blew the motor in his side by side

    m1009 Arctic Heater fuel pump

    its been quite a while since I worked on those old arctic heaters the coolant heater was disconnected because of reliability issues the 10530 should work fine as long as the atomizer and glass rod are good. I will do some looking and see where the fuel pump gets its electrical signal bit I think...

    Blew oil line engine now toast! Cat 3116 getting replaced

    hp will be directly related to your fuel economy, the c series is actually a little larger displacement than the cat, a b series would get you better economy but a whole lot less torque. unless you tuned it for power which would shorten engine life and cost you mpg again. the cats can be de...

    Blew oil line engine now toast! Cat 3116 getting replaced

    I'm a big fan of the c series so don't get me wrong but I cant imagine why one would replace a mechanical cat with one especially if the engine is right below the operator them things are loud. an 8.3 in adduce would be real cool but you would likely break stuff, and the b series fits better.

    LMTV aftermarket shocks

    overall the lmtv rides pretty good for the kind of truck it is, I use mine daily on gravel and un improved roads out here in western Alaska and until I do some suspendsion mods to my 1 ton dodge I'm in no rush to go back to it.
