    Hydro Fluid

    I agree, I would also have it tested for contaminants. Used hyd oil will contain components of the system it was used in, steel, brass, and copper from pumps and motors. Rubber, nylon and composits from hoses and cylinder packing. Usually due to overheating, cavitation, and running the system...

    M1009 Didn't want to start this morning

    Hasdrubal, Believe me, I respect your experience and opinion. I don't want to get into a pi$$ing match about which system is better. An in line electric fuel pump eliminates the need to crank the engine to fill the fuel filter. It will also charge the IP far better than the mechanical pump. The...

    Block Heater/Warmer

    The tank style heater won't work on the 6.2/6.5 engine. the coolant feed taps into the block drain which is behind the motor mounts, and impossible to any kind of fitting on. An alternative is to splice a 2in x 3/4 tee into the lower radiator hose to feed the unit. Placement is critical for...

    M1009 Didn't want to start this morning

    If you have not done the doghead relay mod, DO NOT crank the engine repeatedly for long periods of time. You may end up with more problems than you have now. The moxt effective way to bleed injectors is to get the engine to fire and run on a few cylinders and bleed the injectors one at a time...

    Electrical Ideas

    No one here will ever deny you advice, or shun you for modifying your truck. It's your truck, make it as comfortable and reliable as you see fit. There are many well thought out and trick mods under the OD sheet metal made by some really sharp guys here. If we didn't modify these trucks for the...

    engine swap

    Well, that does not sound good. The cheapest way to go would be to get another 6.2, upgrade to a 6.5 turbo, or as you said go with a 350. There are a few build threads here on swaping to gas motors. I don't think there is much hope in rebuilding your motor on the cheap from what you discribe...

    engine swap

    We need more info in order to help you. Any history on the truck? Did you get it from GL or a private sale in not running condition? Dead meaning what? Engine won't turn-seized, turns but won't fire-fuel, turns fires, with sounds of broken internals? You replaced all those brake parts before...

    M1009 Front Hub Temperatures

    Sounds like your calipers are hanging up. the heat will transfer from the rotor to the hub assy and even to the wheel itself. It could also be the hub bearings, Jack up the front end and spin the tires, if there is any resistance, excessive play or movement the caliper and or the hub assy should...

    I can't drive 55!!!

    Just pick one. The rear main is going to leak anyway. It's old enough to smoke, but i'd put a cooler on that thing to be on the safe side, geez wizz.
