You need to replace the filter. The sediment in the bowl isn't clogging it.

If it's down on power and surging start with the fuel filter.

The truck will take any engine you throw at it. The challenge is finding an accessory rack that will support the dual alternators. You can buy 6.5 NA GEP engines but I assume you don't like the price tag. Those will work with your existing accessory rack. I'm putting a center mount turbo engine...

Got the doghouse fabricated. I used corrugated posterboard and hot glue to make the shape. 3/4 inch clearance around everything. I hope that's enough when the engine flexes in its mounts. Used 1"x3/16 Nomex tape to make the flange. The rest of it is lightweight woven roving and West System. No...

Detroits with a hydraulic governor go to the no fuel position when there is no oil pressure (engine not running). The older Detroit Diesel engines had a fixed fuel rack that contributed to the runaways. When an injector fails and gets stuck, that cylinder stops firing but the stuck injector...

Can you put the drain plug from your new housing in the old one? Otherwise, you're going to have to thread the hole and install a set screw with some permanent Loctite.

2-stroke oil is the best fuel stabilizer you can get. Mix it up 50:1. Those old engines won't know the difference. Use the good synthetic stuff for dirt bikes, it's low ash.

The other question is why do you need to replace your housing?

That sounds like 8 burned out glow plugs. You have an ohmmeter?

You're only draining a little bit. If any air does get in, the DB2 pump has provisions to clear it out.

Does it have a water in fuel indicator? No need to drain unless the indicator is illuminated.

At 40F the truck manual recommends holding the pedal at 1/2 throttle during start. At 90F it will start without the glow plugs of you hold the throttle at 1/2. It sounds like you have a glow plug problem. Can you hear the relay cycling during a start?

Have you checked the glow plugs? What is the ambient temperature?

It was discussed here recently. https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/my-m1009-has-died-new-curve-ball-thrown-updated.211228/page-4 Rock Auto is in error to list the 0030 number as compatible.

Top brand name tires are readily available up to a metric equivalent of 33x10.5 on the 16 inch rim. If you want to go 37" you are SOL unless you want some Chinese mud bogger tire.

All of th 6.2/6.5 dampers are the same with the exception of the length of the shaft stub. When the engines went the the DS4 pump the crankshaft got a pulse ring for crankshaft position so the stub on the pulley got shorter to make room. Attach your current accessory pulleys to whatever damper...

It's generally frowned upon to put unnecessary valves in hydraulic systems. Start the system with the valve closed and you can do a lot of damage. Depending on how high above the system, the tank is, could attach a shop vac hose to the top of the tank and run the vacuum while you disconnect the...

If you want it to last in this application, SKF is the most reliable option. If you want better pricing check Bearing Engineering. The SKF 6305-2RS bearing is $35. The long life bearings will be lubricated with polyurea grease.

"Adding a spacer will change the pulley to belt alignment" The spacer goes under the head of the bolt, like a washer.

And increasing the grip lengths will prevent that breakage.
