Memphis and Antelope Valley are where I found most of my Gasser specific parts. There is also a good bit on Ebay sometimes. Kind of odd, but carb rebuild kits for that massive Holley are listed sometimes.

I just walked around my classroom looking at the valley of a few engines. 1985 CUCV 6.2 no dots. 1987 Chevy 6.2 no dots. 1994 NA Chevy 6.5 dots. 1995 Turbo Chevy 6.5 dots 1997 Turbo Chevy 6.5 dots 2005 GEP 6500 dots spelling out 506. I have a 1988 6.2 at home that I could look at to see if...

Before you go buying parts. Do you want to keep it military spark plugs and wires or go civilian? Everything is different is why I ask and you can be spending money on parts you don't need.

There is no idle air control valve on a 6.2 diesel. It does have a vacuum control module to regulate how much vacuum the transmission vacuum module gets based on throttle position. It looks like a little black plastic thing on the passenger side of the Injection Pump with a pair of vacuum...

Rich said it all. Either works and both require some kind of small customization. The Banks set up if you get a complete set up actually is more square body friendly with the cross over pipe in front and not hitting the front drive shaft and the down pipe going inside the frame compared to the...

The Gasser engine idles at 450 rpm. It sounds like a well oiled sewing machine at the block and like a monster waiting to be let loose at the exhaust. The sounds are awesome to a gear head. I have gotten a best of 4.89 mpg driving mine on the highway at 48-52 mph and a worst of 4.2 mpg on the...

I agree it should be towed to the Rally!

I saw the pictures on Facebook and wondered if you were involved. Cool.

Yes. The non green wire at the sensor on the outside of the passenger rear cylinder head should have 12 volts with the key on all the time. I have an easier time going over the engine to get to the sensor. If you have young knees. Going through the wheel well might be easier.

Something doesn't add up here. The vacuum lines by the IP and the plastic fitting that looks like an F are for the transmission shifting. They have nothing to do with how the engine runs. You could remove them and the engine shouldn't change. Glad you got it fixed, but something just doesn't...

As pointed out, you can do it, but it isn't recommended. There are a lot of threads on here where people try to argue about how a side mount turbo will work. I think I have seen a picture of one installed once, maybe. The truck wasn't done though, just the turbo on there without most of the...

Permatex Right Stuff in the aerosol can works real well for that. The thing to remember is the length of the valve cover bolts. If they bottom out in the bolt hole. Then the chances of cracking the head at that spot go up. So, lay it on thick if not including the gasket. I use the gasket and...

It has been hot here. HOT hot. Perfect time to test out the cooling system. However, I just haven't wanted to abuse the truck for no reason. Yesterday I had a reason. Colton is back at A&M for the fall semester. He called to tell me the drivers tie rod pulled out of the steering rack on...

Have you looked into the CO2 tank set ups? I converted a York compressor to fit on my M715 years ago. Added M35 air tanks under the bed, plumbed lines to both bumpers and loved it for the first few years. Then I had to use it about 8 hours straight recovering my M35 gasser. Running impact...

No doubt about it. M trucks are so easy to work on compared to the new civilian anything.

When I did the Gasser M35 10 years ago. I thought the wiring was easy. All the old stuff was just cut out and every fastener was broken. I put it back together with all new. Also, no body work. I could do it all sitting on a stool or standing. That is is what makes this difficult. Being part...

I started about a year ago removing the broken wiring harness from my M35A2 whistler. I had everything under the dash and at the lights disconnected. Then the hurricane hit, I had family members evacuate to me and I hot wired the truck started to move it out of the way. Life happened and I just...

I personally have found that Gates belts do better on my 6.2 engines than any other brand I have tried.

We had the county wildlife biologist talk to our Trail Life Troop last night. She had a Timber Rattler in an aquarium that someone had found last week. That rattle would start buzzing when anyone got within a few feet from any direction all night long. I really hate that sound but as point...

When I did the add on a/c to my M1009. I found duct tape on the floor vents with the top slide set to floor works real well. Unless you drive over 70 for a long period of time and the duct tape pops off from the air flow. I carry a roll under the drivers seat and reapply as needed. There...
