I have used Pensacola Diesel a few times. I'm very happy with their work. I installed new injectors from them on my M1028 a while back. But one injector leaked around the body and nozzle. I called them up and the overnighted me one at no charge. They really surprised me with the great customer...
So I went to jack up my 998 and the floor lack slid on the lower control arm before I got the jack stand under the frame. So I decided to make a pin to go into the hole on the lower control arm to keep this from happening again. So I fired up the lathe and made this.
I got a spare WP pulley from the auction site. It's chucked up in my Lathe now. I'm going to modify it to fit a thermal fan clutch like the civi H1 with a 6.2. I know the fan is a different part number and a different bore. So I will eather buy a new fan or use a 20 inch metal 6 blade fan I...
Norm,
I too was in your shoes last winter. I took it apart and took the bearing to a bearing supply. I don't rember the number but they matched it up for $12. For the o rings I got a o -ring kit from herbor freight for $5. Then matched it up from the kit and I was back in business.
Just a thought on the head gasket. If you have a leak that is allowing exhaust gasses into the coolant, you wont have any water in the oil or oil in the water. I'm not saying this is your issue. But getting that hot in 5 min ins't right. While the thermostat is closed the coolant will flow...
5 Min of idiling? Mine doesen't make it to 160 when idiling 5 min. I wonder if you have a head gasket leaking exhaust gas in to the coolant. Are you getting any bubbles in the over flow tank?
I would replace the spindle bearings also. Although it might look ok. The inner race could be deformed a bit. Spindle extraction is normally a violent event. If the inner race is now out of round even a thousands of a inch, that bearing won't be long for this world. As far as finding the parts...
Could you plumb it into the supply line? This would eliminate the risk of backpressure in your booster. From what I can gather from your previous post, the pump you will be using can move more fluid than the GM pump. So you may just be able to tee into the supply line. You may need to install...
Ain't that the truth! I bought my 1028A1 back in 2006. Sold it in 2008. The buyer never touched it. I bought it back in 2010. I picked it up in the same spot I dropped it off in. Out of all my MV's it has given me the most trouble. But it is still my favorite. And the most fun to drive. Do a...
They were on a 6.2 C2500 I found in a junk yard. I don't have apart number. I liked how simple the CRD valve was. You will need a passenger side valve cover to use it. I too have thought about headers but haven't pulled the trigger. My Humvee sucks up all my money lol. Please post pics of your...
Sharecropper,
I went with a single plane intake from a 93 6.2. It is much more open. A also used the 92 air filter housing and made a ram air with a stock hose from a 85 with a 350. The air filter housing has a intake hole twice the size of the stock cucv. My engine is a 6.5 with the turbo...
A 6.2 Humvee used the same pump as a 6.2 CUCV. It is a CW rotation pump. Share cropper is correct. They were smart enough to change the bolt pattern so you can't mix them up. ACDELCO 252611 is the part number if you need to cross reference.
The oil pan for the optimizer you would need is from a 1993 and newer civi 6.5. This is because there is a bigger one piece rear main seal. Other than that you can use your 6.2 parts. You will need the water pump backing plate to use your V-Belts and dual alts. Also the optimizer has 1/2-14...
