Ok, that's what I was thinking from your previous reply. Only diesel I've ever had with a mechanical injection pump, never had a thought about needing to time it before. Will have to get my TM out and look it up, but sounds fairly straight forward from what you stated.

Ok, I know what you're talking about now. Hadn't thought about that, You might very well be right. I'll have to check it and see. Could the pump timing change over time (no pun intended) for some reason? Wear??

Are you talking about the solenoid that attaches to the vacuum line going to the transmission?

yep, good tip. I forgot about that with led bulbs. Had this truck for over 10 years now, been a good truck. But wanted to do some small upgrades for night driving. Along with a few other repairs/upgrades.... at least that's how it starts. Already did some work on it this summer, replaced tie...

what are the "lens covers" over the oil, 4x4, and gen lights called? LMC doesn't seem to carry them, as they don't show them in any of the diagrams. And I can't even find anything when searching on google. So I'm guessing I'm not using the "right term". Need some replacements if at all possible...

OH OK, I get what you're talking about now. Didn't realize that previously. I'll have to look at these closer, guess I'm glad I didn't get the headlights in already. My problem with the adjusters was the plastic pieces wouldn't hold into the rad support. So the adjustment screw was just...

yeah, they have two different styles for the 3 speeds. but they work/position differently. LoL :mrgreen: I only question it when it seems like the engine keeps revving to high for too long. Does this when driving through the little local town mostly, be doing 25 and sounds like I'm trying to...

I thought about that, will have to see a way of holding a nut into the rad support while still being able to adjust the screw. Will have to look at the indicator... now that you mention it I do remember something about a screw, can't remember if its just something I read a long time ago, or...

yeah, I just need some new adjusters and the clips they screw into. I cleaned and repainted the headlight buckets. The rad support is in pretty good shape, still good paint.

Hey all, searched on here and found bit and pieces of info, mostly people with actual transmission problems and not so much about the indicator. My shift indicator has been off at least 1 "gear" for sometime now. I tried adjusting the "string" back sometime ago, but the indicator would soon...

Hey Cucvrus [thumbzup] I actually had found and ordered the correct part (and a couple other things) on hillbillywizard.com before I saw your reply. But your suggestion would have worked just as well. After finding out there was supposed to be a guard there, I had considered just making...

Hey SteelNinja, This is only what I have skimmed from reading threads on here, as I am considering other led lights too... so take this with a grain of salt as I have not done this myself yet. -->Dash you can't replace the alternator bulbs with led as it causes some issues. You can replace...

Thanks guys, never knew there was supposed to be a guard there. Wouldn't have even thought about it. Will look and see if I can find a guard. I may go ahead and replace the belt again. I replaced it once already, and it still looks basically new, not worn. but I've already got it pulled as far...

Hey all, I've had an issue with my belt moving/bouncing enough that it is able to touch the bottom side of the top radiator hose to put some marks in it. Tried to take a couple pics of where its hitting and of the thermostat housing. Where it bumps the hose it hasn't made a deep mark, but...

ok, i guess i just forgot LMC didn't have the K30 listed.

Hey Jeepadict! Thanks for the brands and link. Yeah, I know the lights are pretty much the same across all models. I was just going to look up some other stuff. Some parts are still interchangeable. I just couldn't figure out why they don't have the C30/K30 listed anymore... kind of weird when...

Hey all, been a while since I posted anything. I am doing some work and upgrades to my '86 M1008. Just ordered a set of Truck-Lite 27450C LED headlights a few days ago. A much needed upgrade in my opinion. I hate driving at night with the stock headlights, especially with all the deer on our...

glad it was of help Jake :mrgreen: Like I said, such an option may require some problem solving and etc, but its also a Whole Lot Less expensive than the custom built all aluminum radiator from one of the "hot rod" and "racing" companies, like griffinrad or mishimoto. I wouldn't have minded...

Hi Jake, From what I could find back when I replaced my radiator, Genesis auto parts is no more, or they sold out, etc. However, after replacing the stock radiator with another stock radiator at the cost of $400+, and then having more problems with it, had it repaired... repaired again... then...

Hello Cucvrus! Thanks for your reply! Yeah, I read where you said you had used the aluminum/plastic rads without much issue. I looked at several on several different parts sites (o'reilly, rockauto, etc) and all of them seemed to be pretty much the same manufacture irregardless of brand. And...
