So Colton who is now a 22 year old senior in the A&M Corps of Cadets had an interesting summer. The airport here in town he has worked at for years is getting the runway repaved. No planes in or out means no need for a helper doing maintenance. He stayed in College Station and did meal delivery...

It has been a few years since I had one apart. However, I am pretty sure it just dumps the return on top. When I added a 6.2 to my M715. I made the fuel tank vent to the air filter on a stock truck my fuel return line. That dumps fuel into the fuel filler neck on that truck. Almost 8 ye and...

It will go faster. My Gasser will stay in the 52-55 range until an up hill pushes it back down to around 42-46. Enjoy any speed runs in the cool weather. I discovered that 48 mph is all I could do in the summer time and not be getting past 210°.

Plus power steering pump and pulley.

Thank you.

Do you have the special $50 oil in the transmission? My NV4500 was loud like that when I installed it in the M715. I changed the fluid and it got better. But not gone. It has slowly over the years gotten louder again. Judging by the number of used NV4500’s out there with bad input shaft...

Check your tail lights too. Somewhere in the back of my head I seem to think the tail lights and dash lights are on the same fuse. Did you try messing with the light switch twist? Those switches were not the best quality when new.

That comes down to what you want to do with the truck. The 208 works great in all but the few 205 equipped CUCV's out there.

I can see the pictures now. Couldn't earlier when I replied. That hitch you have looks very substantial, tied into the frame at the rear and secured to the body in front of the fuel tank. Similar hitches are available for my E39 BMW Touring with higher weight ratings that I listed for the...

I am not able to see your pictures. I also don't know exactly what you mean by Hacken trailer coupling. If you mean the stock pintle hitch. Then, no it is not bolted to the frame cross member. (The CUCV trucks did have it bolted to the frame with great strength.) It is very lightly bolted in...

That shouldn't be the issue then. Pulling the return line check valve and making sure it isn't full of gunk would be a good way to verify it isn't coming apart inside already though.

How old is your injection pump? My first 1009 had a miss at idle. I did the injectors hoping for a positive change but didn’t get it. A Rebuild of the IP cured all my ills. If yours is more than 10 years since a known rebuild I would suggest that as your next step. Assuming head gasket health...

Think nice thought when working with the solid state box. One electron misplaced normally causes the box to die.

Interesting new automotive trivia. Neat. Once you pick out which bulbs you want to use. Then the fun task of installing them comes along. If you or your son is a contortionist. With small fingers and a high pain threshold. Just reach back in there and swap the bulbs out. I like to pull the...

Try removing the fuel cap and running it. It could be a fuel tank venting problem. Otherwise, I would suggest following the steps in the -20 manual trouble shooting section exactly.

Welcome to the M1009 world. Those bolts are always a pain. I have gotten to where I will try one once. Then just break out the drill and do an upper body work out.

Sorry I messed up the year thing. I have used 1984 K5 for truck stuff and 1985 K30 for engine, transmission and transfer case when looking for civilian parts. I inverted them by accident.

The engine number is on the drivers side of the "shelf" the transmission bolts to. Find the oil pressure sender at the back of the engine and look down. It is between the peak of the triangle and the upper most driver side transmission bolt.

Any auto parts store will sell you a 1985 k5 blazer fan switch. You need to pull the gauge bezel off to replace it. I would highly suggest you undo all of the battery terminals before starting this job. The lugs on the back of the volt meter are hot and will probably touch the metal surrounding...

When I rebuilt my GEP 6500 I looked into which style of rocker arm was best. Here is what I came up with: Cast iron expensive to manufacture Audable noise Bushing can wear Shaft can wear I could not find a single incident of failure with the engine running resulting in a broken engine...
