Nice truck & a good woman, all you need now are some new wiper blades( heard them scqueekin)

I have sugestions , take them or not,; put some penetrating oil, like kano, crc or liquid wrench on everything you plan to take apart, and let it sit & do it again. be organized with parts and fastenings as you dissasemble , put copper based anti siezing compound threaded fasteners as you...

Remember to crack open vent at top of filter housing to let air in so fuel or water can go out.

Indusa worked for me. they have a phone number as well on their site for those of us that are not into internet financial transfers.

No doubt you are aware that it runs at high idle, with advanced timing, as part of its warm up function. If it does not kick down after a couple minuts, the warm up solinoid may be stuck. It is on top of injector pump. I usually let my trucks kick down before I take them on the road. I think...

There are two LARC s with out engines in Cal on the GL site right now.

The old 6.2 filter was 33123, I think, the screw on type, but the cucv primary filter has a water drain at bottom as well. it is supposed to be drained regulary, esp if you are filling with cans or at an old farm tank. Try using it everyday if you suspect your fuel, a few drops will do. If...

You are-------, and I say that as a compliment. so few go so far with any one truck. I tried it a couple times. once with a studebaker e-13 d which I never finished, and once with a chev 66 k-20. with some success , but with far less . I hope you can drive it forever.

Got a new commercial inspection today on F-800 w 6 ton trailer and modified cucv dump with 2 ton wood chipper. Inspection costs a bit more and now commercial trailers and their prime movers need to be inspected if gross total of combined rig exeeds 10,000#gvw. Inspection criteria are basically...

I just got some spare ignition core and key sets from oem surplus and low and behold, the keys work in my stock cucv,s. I would not assume all the lock sets they have are cucv but the two I got were. Best to call and say you want the round keyed ones, if you have a choice.

If you bought a gear reduction starter, bracket is not essential. But it is important to use on original non gear reduction starter. it is the same bracket as civilian, there was a tread here recently about making or getting the bracket.

A failing starter of any kind will sound different than a good one, and the gear reductions sound a bit different. If your truck is running right, you should not be listening to starter sound, but the running engine. Seriously, if it is not starting right up, there are other problems, fuel...

Run and drive it until it gets up to temp. Does it ever get to temp? Should be running over 180 d f after a good drive. check thermostat if engine does not get to temp, it will do damage to keep running cold. Check recent thermostat thread. If it only smokes when cold, I agree with hobie237's...

Temp switch is more likely to be unplugged than bad. it is hard to get at, located near back of passenger side head. The solenoid itself is sitting on top of injector pump. sometimes that wire is off. sometimes solenoid sticks or is missallined. Easy to test if current is getting to solenoid...

The ones I have bought from Nations have been gear reduction.

I finally got my 97 form for a truck I bought this fall. It takes several seconds for engine to shut off after turning off key. I noticed this when I first got the truck, but it seems to have gotten worse . Is the whole IP going, or is this a seperatable issue? Have had many 6.2 s, but this...

Diesel Smoke on Danger Road, a great country trucking song by the Willis Brothers. Pertains to this post a lot.

It is a toss up if the truck can be driven home.. If it was me, I'd find a trailer I could use and tow it back with the F 450. I would not try to flat tow, as that makes for gray hair..

so where do I post wanted to buy; as in parts?

My civy Mack 1961 B-61 with a mack 673 was 24 v start. I'd still have it but for rust.
