I think I might be running into the same problem. I am getting fuel out the filter bleed port (after replacing the filter). I cracked all of the injectors and I am getting fuel from all of them. Cranks fine but will not start. It's either the lift pump or injector pump.
CUCV ones are 12v, just like the civilian models. HUMMVE ones are 24v. Having just worked on my injector pump solenoid wiring this past weekend, I know for sure it is 12v.
Just curious, since you mentioned cracked head because of overheating, from things I have read, it seems the rear part of the block runs hot because of lack of coolant flow, due to the design of the block. I think I read GM fixed this in later 6.5L blocks. Because I wanted to try to eliminate...
My question would be, are you having overheating problems now? I switch over to the HMMWV crossover, not because there was anything wrong with the original one but between running the Paradox by Design cooling kit and needing an extra port for my water temp gauge, it made things easy/cleaner...
I am just surprised by how many 6.2/6.5 engines that people have put ARP head studs in, that leak. I have used head studs in other engines (not the 6.2/6.5 series) that the studs run into the coolant ports and have never had any issues with leaking. What is it about these engines that causes...
Yeah, sorry to say you are trolling this thread. I don't recall cruzer747 asking for opinions on 8.1L nor looking to swap one at this point in time. I would love to swap to a 8.1L but that will be an issue if/when my 6.2 blows up. Everyone has the right to their own wants, needs and opinions...
Yeah, I am kind of in the same boat. The 6.2 in my M1010 isn't very powerful and though the Gear Vendor OD helped drive-ability, it is still a slug and pulling hills is painful and I haven't even gotten it up to the mountains where it will be even worse. I keep swaying between adding a turbo...
I believe it is a 3 or 4 wire cable. I had actually bought some braided sleeve that I was going to use but figured out I just needed to move the cable on the frame away from the rear spark plug wire. Problem went away so I never used the sleeve. I actually have an HDX setup that will go in my...
I have used Dakota Digital in a number of builds (not a squarebody but other C10's and El Camino) as well as a couple buddies. They have worked great and love the look and function of them.
About the only issue I have had, it more my own install related. You MUST keep the wire for the speedo...
Agree, uploaded to the site pics means they will still be around in years to come. Linked pics are always at the risk of an account loss, change in hosting service, etc.
Awesome! Congrats and welcome to the M1010 club. :D If you're on FB, check my signature for my M1010 only FB group. Gotta a lot of M1010'ers over there too.
It is very likely they are doing their own in house build of their parts (though they might outsource the laser cutting). I have found over the years that many companies that actual weld their parts together, do production runs of a part. If they happened to have had a higher than normal run...
Glad you made it through and your home was safe. It is crazy this year up in NoCal area. I remember how devastating the fires in San Diego were in 2003 and 2007. We know people who lost their homes and other where the fire came right up to their property. Scary!
Not likely. The VRV would help control shift points. Even if you didn't use any vacuum to the trans, it would still work but would only shift at a high RPM level but still shift.
If you had a trans failed (especially a TH400), it was not built correctly (if recently rebuilt) or was already on...
