M997 generator help
Going by memory, ambulance had 100 amp generator, old style with piggyback regulator. Those are a bit hard to find. You can put a 60 amp in or go upgrade with the 200 amp units available now. -

Use a plug wire with wire core. Need to have good diagnostics before opening the engine. -
Tuning Help
Haha same question a lot of Ford Triton engine owners ask. The chain has a tensioner which prevents jumping, it likely needs replacing, the front timing cover has to come off. -
Tuning Help
The timing chain does not drive the distributor. If the cam timing jumped, engine would have low power. I would put a timing light on it and see what you got. -
Replaced Battery Cable Installed Non GI Battery Clamps Now No Power?
Sounds like the cable between the negative post and the shunt is faulty. They can get corrosion between the wire strands and the cable lug resulting in your situation. -
Towing Question
Flat tows with equal weight trucks at freeway speeds are dangerous. Even more so if brakes don’t work on towed vehicle. Also, maybe paying for some more storage might be the least risky option of all. -
Questions for M37 4BT swap
4bt engines used in “bread trucks” have the GM automatic bell housing/flywheel parts you need. Will need a power modified 700R4 or 4L80E with aftermarket shift brain to get RPMs down where the diesel can handle it. -

Heads on a 6.5 pickup version do not accept the van type induction/turbocharger. -

Come on, the seal is likely 50 years old with a groove cut in the yoke. Get under there and replace it. No magic in a bottle will fix that.- NDT

You are in Ferris which seems to be the center of the trucking industry for the DFW area. I would call around to local diesel shops until you find someone with the E-T software that is willing to help you. -

M1025a2 6.5 non turbo no fuel problem
I would open the top of the injector pump like you are trying to do and make sure everything is free. Is yours a 1995 or 2002? -
M1025a2 6.5 non turbo no fuel problem
Can you hear the ip solenoid click when power is applied? If your truck is a '95 it may be due for an injection pump overhaul, runs about $500. -

Odd thing about the M1081
I JUST finished this mod to my 1081 BUT for some reason the Pur-est dryer I got has the bottom fittings oriented 180 degrees from the one you have. I had to buy a 36” compressor discharge hose to go from the frame all the way to where the control line is on your install. Pricy at $80. -

2011 997 wont shift
Welcome. Your 4L80E is in limp mode if it won't shift out of second. If the TCM stays hot, that is what is draining your batteries. Sounds like now the TCM has died. Maybe this manual can help you. -
Fan/WP/Bearing/Belt Squealing Question
I have this issue on a fire dept LMTV. In my case it's the voltage regulator going into spasms sending high current and resultant high shaft loads on the alternator. Check into that also.
