If it were me. I would pull the glow plugs and do a visual on them. You can easily test them in the engine. But with the other issues you have I would pull them and check them up front. Do as you wish. Good Luck. Report back. Do you know how to check them out of the engine?

Hey report back. I fired up a few 6.2 engines on the floor in my shop. They started right up and ran with a garden hose hooked up to them. Of course no fan was turning and I only ran them a few minutes. Very load. But cool. Please report back. I think it will fire right up if the glow plugs are...

Just jump across the big stud on top and the bottom stud. Count to 10 disconnect and have someone attempt to fire it up. Or count to 12 and run and start it yourself. With longer wires you can do the jumping from the drivers seat. That is how I fire up wrecks. Jumper cables work well.

Started working early today. 0500 I was on a crane dropping steel from an over head crane that was being scrapped out. I dropped/ torched off about 10 ton an hour. Young guys all cried that the steel had lead paint on it. I never heard of lead paint on steel. I could be wrong. It is all down...

It is under the dash on the left side of the steering column. About the size of a pack of Marlboro in a black plastic box. Report back.

And if you are talking about the hump mount that was welded on the left rear floor of the M1009. I have a few of them that I surgically removed. Excellent condition.

EBAY. I seen them on EBAY today.

Is this the same injection pump that was on the engine before you rebuilt it? And when you say rebuilt. You had the crank out and the pistons out of the block? Just asking?

The starter was shorted out? Or that sorted out your problems?

Stock new the valve covers and oil pan had orange GM silicone sealant w/o gaskets. It held up well until it started leaking many years later. I still use gaskets and Permatex The Right Stuff on all gaskets I replace on the engine. Great results. If you are impatient while you are waiting replace...

Why is the wait lamp flashing?

Does that have LED headlamps?

Just a word of advise. I can change a lift pump in about an hour. I do it all from the top side except the 2 M10 bolts on the cover plate. I remove them last and tighten them last. Like I said. If you are going to remove the pump and you have the front bolt removed . Break the pump off and get...

These are 2 sets of cracked 6.2 heads. The cracks are visible between the valves in a few of the pictures. What happens is the cracks open up when the engine is warm and it leaks coolant into the combustion chamber. While I was out in my shop today I found another set of used heads. I had for...

That will work. I am all over it. I was hoping for a spray on. The CUCVRUS crack head spray on Modification. So the words out. I am now a crack head. No report back on set # 4. I guess I get the weekend off from head removal and transport. My Son Rick Jr. has basically been hauling crack heads...

This is getting to be a regular thing. I received another phone call from the machine shop. The 3rd set of heads have cracks between then valves. I have all 3 sets in the back of Mr. Crusty. I can see the cracks in the heads between the valves on the outer 2 cylinders on all 6 heads. I say how...

The same is true with transmissions, even more so in my opinion. People just assume the transmission just needs some fluid and all will be well, so they continue driving it all the while it is tearing itself apart inside ! Hope this helps with your decision. Rustystud you said exactly what I...

I think the bumper design was a great thing when it was new. But I have seen how rusty the drawbars are on the bottom of the hitch assembly. I made several new ones and replaced the ones on my M1009's even with the new hitch attached and using 1/2" bolts. I swelled the hitch and tweaked the...

ssdvc I would just install a GM stock block heater element in the drivers side center freeze/expansion plug of the block and be done with it. You will need to drain the coolant from the radiator. Or you can put a little excitement in your life and just go under there with a long punch and tap...

This is a perfect example of why I like unmolested vehicles. Now it is modified and the new owner don't know what the old owner did. I think keeping it simple and being able to use the books is the best way. I just had to say that. All these modifications are not good when it comes to problem...
