    yep thats the one I bought, as summit wanted $84 and Rockauto showed the shipping would be "delayed".

    CUCV M1009: Is it 3 OR 4 Outlets for Fuel Tank Sending Unit??

    Well, kept going back and forth on just ordering a sending unit or get it all... and I ended up ordering all of it. I put a fuel sending unit, dorman tank, and dorman straps in the cart on Rock Auto, and it was going to be $211. BUT it was showing there was some sort of delay on the fuel sending...

    CUCV M1009: Is it 3 OR 4 Outlets for Fuel Tank Sending Unit??

    Been looking at the two SPECTRA sending units that Rock Auto lists for this truck ➡ One is the FG05K that you posted adf5565 ➡ And the other is the FG05L that ezgn posted The only real differences between them besides the 'color', is the direction of the ports verses the direction of the...

    CUCV M1009: Is it 3 OR 4 Outlets for Fuel Tank Sending Unit??

    Rock Auto is a good company too. Don't know why I didn't think to check them to see what they had listed. Thanks for the info and part #'s [thumbzup] EDIT: Will keep that in mind about the filler neck and hose.

    CUCV M1009: Is it 3 OR 4 Outlets for Fuel Tank Sending Unit??

    Ok, I was able to get the truck turned around backed into my garage and get underneith of it to look at the tank. I found the ground wire going to the fram, it wasn't corroded and the connection was strong. So I don't think its the ground wire, but I can not see anything on the top side of the...

    M1008 Starter problems

    I have a 3 set of diamond stones from Smiths, they've been pretty good. I also have a black 8000 grit? 🤔 stone, and a leather strop that I made with polishing compounds. I don't use the black stone or the strop on anything but one knife really. This Cold Steel sees too much daily use to stay...

    M1008 Starter problems

    rofl spotted my EDC knife. Been a good one, seen a lot of use over the past 12 years or so, I think thats how long its been since I bought it. I lost it for about a year once, and a month or so just recently... found it in the truck this last time. But it always turns back up. And yeah I need to...

    M1008 Starter problems

    ok, here is the update. I started the truck up this morning to pull it back into my garage and it didn't start on the first try. Second try it did start but cylinders were hitting hard and had a good amount of white smoke blowing out the tailpipes, especially on drivers side. I gave it some gas...

    CUCV M1009: Is it 3 OR 4 Outlets for Fuel Tank Sending Unit??

    Now that sounds like a way that I could do this by myself :) The fuel hose cheat also sounds like a good idea. They probably need replaced anyway, as they were the one "rubber parts" that I didn't replace when I first got the truck. Thanks for the Tips [thumbzup]

    CUCV M1009: Is it 3 OR 4 Outlets for Fuel Tank Sending Unit??

    Thanks for the info [thumbzup] That is interesting, as I was thinking that there might be some type of connection issue causing more resistance... or loss of resistance? As I'm guessing that is basically the way the sending unit operates to send the electrical signal to the fuel gauge. I'll...

    CUCV M1009: Is it 3 OR 4 Outlets for Fuel Tank Sending Unit??

    Thanks for the link. Sliding the bed back sounds better than dropping the tank, especially since its full. But it might be harder to do since I have this "camper" shell on my truck. Its pretty heavy and I don't have anyone to help me. Took me and 3 other guys when I put it on the bed back 10 or...

    CUCV M1009: Is it 3 OR 4 Outlets for Fuel Tank Sending Unit??

    Hey All, I know this thread is a few months old, wasn't sure if would better to post here or start a new thread? I can move this to a new thread if that'd be better, just let me know. I have an 1986 M1008 6.2 and my fuel gauge has been "off" for a while now. It used to read correctly from "E...

    M1008 Starter problems

    Nice! From what I'm reading, those are Brand New Delco brand alternators? And they don't even have a core charge, but they do charge $41 for shipping. Still cheaper than FPC by the time you add in the core charge. If I do end up needing an alternator, I may order this place. Thanks for the Link...

    M1008 Starter problems

    Thanks for the belt numbers. It could be a belt, its been a while since I replaced them and they are adjusted out toward the end of the range. I'll definitely check this out first. This morning I tested the alternators, drives side tested fine. Passengers side #2 light was on, and when I tested...

    M1008 Starter problems

    Found on another thread the Wilson Alternator part number is # 90-01-4277 FPC has them for $162 +$47 core charge. https://www.filterspro.com/WILSON-90-01-4277_p_1813699.html I emailed them about how to get my core charge back on my starter. There wasn't any shipping label or any core return...

    M1008 Starter problems

    I didn't know anyone made the isolated ground reman's. If I end up having to buy an alternator, I'd rather have one of theirs than the cheap aftermarket one's and then have to modify it. I think that is what these are.

    M1008 Starter problems

    Yes, this is still the stock 24v system. I found a thread on here about testing it, but the video will be a big help. Thanks [thumbzup] Thats Great! I'll never forget it again with that trick [thumbzup] [thumbzup]

    M1008 Starter problems

    I couldn't find a new one, but I bought a Wilson which is their remanufactured Delco brand 28MT. Looks like a very good built unit, and it wasn't quite as heavy as the Direct Drive. Still pretty heavy though. Hope it will last as long as I need it.

    M1008 Starter problems

    Well, got the truck started today. Fired right up, no noise from the starter. Tried a few times today, and could hear the starter kickout as soon as I let off the key. So I guess there is no need for any shims. The "low coolant" light is also no longer flickering, and the coolant temperature...
