Thanks Rutjes for the offer. I still hope it's the right pump ...
Globeworks is a trusted dealer. He will take back the article without problems and exchange it if necessary. Maybe it's not the cheapest provider, but that's not my choice either. Especially with the Chevy it was so that I...
Thanks for your tip - I'll do it that way.
Before I had the TMs 😎 of the military version, I could only work with the shop manual. The civil version is identical in many areas. With the electrics, it was then useless in many parts. And since there are big differences in electrics between...
Take US Price put tax, fee, shipping costs on it .... additional next day delivery so it make no sense waiting for import in any way to save some Euro and wait 2-3 weeks for delivery.
Complete parts in the box 450 Euro - no one said Chevy M1008 is in Germany a low budget truck ;)
Like chrismas..... One of three parcels arrived.
our "Handbag-Tiger" is happy about the waste in shape of a box, as he got now his own! Usually the Lady is faster to occupier boxes.
I took the cylinder head down last weekend. Fortunately no cracks and no distortion, but the valve seats Valve seems to be a little bit leaky.
The usual liquid test shows this result. I suspect the constant bad combustion and the starting difficulties caused this. This was all done before...
I live next to the Dutch border. I now have a corresponding list of dealers in Europe and there are also dealers in the USA who deliver to Europe. Based on the import regulations, this is too time-consuming for many, which I can understand. There was also an import service like USA2YOU in NL in...
I have no experience with it and cannot help you with that question. But I know how much effort it takes to buy something privately from the USA with customs and fees. For that reason alone, I try to buy in Germany as much as possible.
CUCVRUS
I totally agree. That's why I completely overhauled the engine after 15 years of storage. A lot of work just as a precaution because of the long time storage. Of course, all wear limits were checked and the usual wear parts such as timing chain and wheels as well as valve seats were...
cucvrus that means I should check if the solenoid is working properly. I can hear the mechanical noise and it can be also measured. I can still remove the cylinder head if it indicates a defective gasket the next time I start it. 1998 - 2005 I only renewed the glow plugs once. I don't know how...
Nothing can be pulled out of the hole because the glow plug is stuck as a whole. It is - we call it mushroomed. In order not to cause more damage, the cylinder head comes down again. It then allows us to take another look at the cylinder surfaces to see if there has been any damage.
All together...
We have original setup for glowplugs.
we did not measure the new glow plugs before built in... so it could be that one was defective and so did the others too ... We last fixed a bug in generator 2, which was bought completely new and installed with a new regulator. In the end it turned out...
there is now another problem
After the engine started getting worse and worse, we checked the new glow plugs. Despite the intact pre-glow module and the correct glow plugs, all plugs are defective. Two are stuck and we have to take the cylinder head down to remove them.
I have no explanation for...
I thought something like that. Stored for 15 years and with biodiesel in the system ... 15 years ago I did not empty and clean the system - a mistake that is now taking revenge.
Thank you for the clear explanation of how the injector pump works and the error explanation
I'll try to clean the...
Thanks - i know of this diesel cleaner, never used some before on a dieselengine. I will try it.
I have already checked the options for an exchange or a repair. It is expensive but also a necessary part for the operation ... This investment is necessary so that the truck becomes an operational...
