    Balanced sleeve vs standard thermostat

    The Robertshaw and the gates have been said to be better units. Robertshaw made some early ac Delco units, they were just rebranded. Sourcing an original ac Delco may be difficult. I have a 180 in my k10 and it has trouble reaching temp on flat ground. If in not mistaken, these engines like a 190.

    Seems like this is turning into a build thread.

    The little wafer looking wood repair joiners found on repaired pallets work well for wedges

    What's up with all of this Ad stuff?

    I used opera in its early years, the project had a good intent I felt, but they sold out to Asian interests. I have also used brave on a few rigs but the same issue still applies. Metadata is a key "advertising" option to exploit for big tech.

    Ddg is Microsoft owned, and privacy is an illusion.

    M1008 crank no start, might be the IP?

    That inside of pump lools sketchy. I tried looking for the db2 service/cleaning procedure on dieselplace but couldnt find it. It did involve some type of plunger being able to move freely Also, could it have jumped time? A worn chain can do this and cause similar issues.

    Injector Problem?

    Pop testers are cheap online, but its best to get a middle of the road priced unit, or even a vintage domestically produced unit. Read reviews for sure.. If you do need injectors dont fall victim to the "marine grade" option. Db2 pumps can't deliver enough fuel for the HP gain, you'd be fine...

    Injector Problem?

    Pull them one by one and pop test them is an option, but time consuming

    Correct part number for mechanical lift pump

    Any of the mech pump numbers on rockauto will work I eliminated the mech lift pump on my k10 and just use a frame mounted carter electric fuel pump on a toggle switch in the cab. Made a block off plate and removed rod behind it that drives the pump (important if you do away with pump) The...

    Favorite tires for a cucv?

    Falken wildpeak is good to go. Have them on another truck in 235 15s. I have general grabbers on the k10, 31s they are quiet and ride well. Saw the kenda klever 32 or 33s for a good price on ebay.

    50/50 Diesel Gas Mix as Deuce Fuel?

    A thread about alt fuels on diesel place forum, some folks compared effects of different ratios of waste motor oil (wmo) and waste veg oil (wvo). Note that is was in GM diesel trucks not designed for multifuel. There is a similar thread on the oil burners forum also (mech and idi diesels not...

    Number stenciled on air cleaner

    Howdy all, hope everyone is enjoying summertime and is ready for Independence Day. My recently acquired m1009 has 1-08 stenciled on air cleaner and rear inner fender wells. I have not seen the number anywhere else, but havent done too much more looking or work to it aside from pressure washing...

    New member, thanks for the add

    Hello. I just got an 85 m1009 It's rough body wise but no blowby or bubbles in coolant. Flywheel is cracked or it has wrong starter due to a bad 12v conversion I'm guessing but it will start with some effort. Got it for cheap, going to get it up to speed mechanically and electrically then make...
