When I let off the gas I hear a loud knocking noise coming from the rear of the 1009. I did notice that my right rear tire has no wheel weight, so maybe its causing enough vibration to rattle something?? What could cause a loud noise in the rear end when you let off gas? It seems to happen...

This is my first diesel, am I supposed to add any thing in the tank? conditioner, etc ?

Its hard to start the 1009 in the mornings. I know the injection pump is leaking at the throttle shaft seal. Am I right to assume that the reason its hard to start up at first is because the fuel leaks out of the pump? My glow plugs are working, I think (I hear the relay clicking and I notice...

I replaced all of my weatherstripping last week. Today was our first day of good rain. I noticed that a lot of water has gathered on my driver's side floorboard. It looks like the water came in from the vent area near my feet. Is there a seal down there somewhere that is prone to leakage?

I just won from GL, (2) 6.2 engines from a hmmwv. What are the chances these will be in running condition? I didn't pay much for them at all....

Will the IP from a 6.2 out of a Humvee fit onto a 6.2 from a cucv? I've found quite a few complete 6.2 engies for sale and was curious.

When I'm sitting still or a low speeds, I hear a knock under the floorboard when I turn the steering wheel left and right. It feels like a bump under the floor. I checked and the frame where the steering box is not cracked. What else will cause this bump when I move the steering wheel?

All lights on the 1009 work, except for my driver's side marker lamp and running lamp...Well the lamps sort of work. When I turn my left blinker on, the turn signal faintly lights up. The running lamp doesn't work at all. Also the left marker lamp doesn't work at all. Any reason why the...

How loose should the plastic connectors be on the glow plugs? Also, how hard are these to change?

I turn the key, the wait light comes on, I hear the relay click under the dash.... Does the relay making noise mean the the glow plugs are being turned on? I'm thinking of installing a manual push button for the glow plugs because it takes a minute or so to start the truck up when its cold.

When the 6.2 diesel is idling, what noises should I hear. What are bad noises? I listened to the motor while it was idling, and I could hear rattling noises in the top end, like marbles rolling around a tin can, this normal? Also, where the exhaust mounts to the manifold, there are two bolts...

I just dropped some money on my 1009. I had 4 new BFG A/T KO's 31 x 10.5 tires installed. I also had Line-X sprayed on the inside. The tires made a big difference. My Goodyear wranglers rode like crap, shook me out of the cab going down the road. The line-x looks outstanding....Pics to...

Try not to roll your eyes when I ask this quetion....I have never owned a diesel until now, so I'm still getting used to the noises, the smoke, etc etc etc.. When the m1009 is at idle, I can hear what sounds like chirping noises coming from under the hood. When I give it a little bit of gas...

What are the signs that a diesel motor needs to be replaced. I ask because I have an 86 cucv blazer with 123k miles on it. It seems like it uses a little bit of oil, but it doesn't have any oil leaks. What should I look for to tell me if I need a new motor?

I noticed that my passenger side floor has cracked. Basically at all four points where the seat mounts, anyone else have this problem? I had to jack up the floor, re-weld the cracked seams, then weld a panel over that, then I'm having line-x sprayed down over that. I'm guessing this will be...

I noticed that the passenger door on my 1009 is saggin towards the rear of the truck. I can lift up on the door and feel it move. I guess I need to replace the door pin and bushings? How hard is this to do?

Are the 6.2L engines known for using oil? When I picked up the blazer last week I checked the oil and it was midway between the add line and full line. Today I checked it and it was at the add line. The truck has no oil leaks, nor does it blow unusual amounts of smoke out the tail...

When I picked up my m1009 from Ft. Jackson, I was told it had 23,000 miles on it. After some research (from a member here, thanks again), I have discoved it has 123,000 miles on it. It belonged to USPFO transportation at Fort Jackson. I have no idea what USPFO means...anyways, is 123k miles a...

I'm going to repaint my m1009. I don't have access to an air compressor so I'm thinking about ordering the 383 carc substitute in spray cans from Rapco. Is it possible to make it look half way decent? Will it look a lot worse because I'm using spray cans instead of an air compressor?

I found the leak in my 86 M1009. I traced it up to the injection pump. I took the breather off and noticed fuel leaking from the driver's side of the pump. It looks to be leaking where the throttle cable attaches ( I don't know what the exact part is called). Heres a pic, the leak is coming...
