do you have a cutting wheel, you will probalby have to cut the remaining part of the outer assembly off to expose the wing nut on the back of the regulator. then you can roll it down by using and open end wrench as the clutch. look at the parts diagrams, it is held on by two screws but screwed...

the engine is already sold, I offered to test it for the seller and was just trying to make sense of my findings. Thanks for your help.

I get up there some, I have a sister in wills point and my dads family is in gladewater. don't have a big truck, just a 1009. guess i couldnt be a running buddy but next time I go to gladewater, I will look you up.

thanks for the analysis, it makes sense to me now, I did not find any thing about pre warming in the tm but it could have been in another section. The section I read was in the engine breakdown section 3-2 of the 289-34 manual. If it was in there then I missed it. I was not real clear about...

I retested today per the tm and with the engine cold, with temp gun the block was 60 degrees. It was cold last night, down to about 38F. I tested it mid afternoon when it was about 70F. All of the cylinders tested similar to each other the lowest reading i got was 420 psi and the highest was...

I think you are good with everything, I have all of these parts on my 1009. It is not a tow vehicle but the parts are stronger than stock. Then only thing you might consider is new springs instead of the shackle flip in the rear just depends on what kind of tonge weights you are trying to...

I am going to retest again tomorrow, yes tm says 380 to 400, will test with engine cold so that I see if there is a difference since i gather no one here knows if it should be different on a hot motor vs. cold motor, that was my question. I have read when researching turbo set up and other...

i read the tm and it did not say anything about engine temp for test. I removed air cleaner. My directions on the tester said to warm engine to opperating temp. So I did a combination of both directions. else where in the forum I found references to fresh motors having around 430psi...

I tested the compresion on an engine that I am selling. I have never tested a 6.2 before but have done gas motors. I have a brand new guage from Mac tools and propper tips. I first warmed up the motor to opperating temp (190 degrees with temp gun) and then began testing. The first cylinder I...

at least with the swap out way you end up with lots of spares? lol

it sounds like your glow plug temp sensor is giving bad readings to your glow plug controler card. replace the temp sensor and see if it continues.

the DIY4X is what I was talking about in previous post but instead of a custom bumper I was going to use the U-haul hitch or the shackle mounts. I was also going to put the tire on the outside of the carrier so that it would drop to the ground with a winch and when down, the back side could...

My idea on my 1009 is to get a U-haul receiver hitch and add two ams with some cross braces that come out, around the bumper and up to mount the tire to, the tire carier will fold down and act as a step to get in the back in the down position. To lift the tire I was going to get a junk yard wind...

mine fit on my 1009 with no problems. I just recieved the second one I purchased. It is the unit for trucks with duel headlights. I am using it on my motorhome because my headlights on it keep frying the headlight switch. Yes, the top of the package has spots for two bulbs. my second...

The cost is roughly $2000 for 4l80e installed on stock suspension with standard 208 slip yoke t-case. Trans core and rebuild cost me $900 torque converter $200 Trans computer $600 Drive shaft rebuild $200. I however have a 5 inch lift so slip yoke does not work. I have installed the 208 slip...

if it is stock springs he needs and if I still have the front springs on the 1008. If he gets the truck to the rally, I will donate the springs to his cause.

The truck is looking awsome. Your son is going to be miles ahead of the other kids. My nephew just turned 16 and he barely knows the difference between a wrench and a screw driver. Are you going to have this truck at the march rally? I am looking forward to meeting everyone there.

I would think that retaining the waste gate would allow you to tune the boost at the turbo instead of just the IP. More control always seems best. If it is not in the way then why not use it. I beleive you can remove it at a later date if it is not working they way you want it to. not a turbo...

Yes I have considered the spacers but would rather have the rims set up right for my rig. I fear broken wheel studs while off road. I know it would save me some money but when it comes to the wheels and tires that I will be driving on I would rather spend the money and have something that is...
