Get a Stant 13078 thermostat. It is a 180 degree stat and you have a much better chance of getting an American made part, at least a brand name part. I have had nothing but bad luck with these fast food type parts stores. Let it idle with the heater off until the thermostat opens, you will see...

As I have said many times before, Xylene.

I have read through here and don't really have any suggestions for the starting problem but I do have one suggestion. When you are working on it hook up a set of jumper cables to the 009 and have that running to keep the battery charged on the generator and also to give a little more boost for...

Regular lug nuts will not get enough thread to hold and even if they do the hole is too big, not tapered and too soft. Those lug nuts are what centers the wheel and takes the load. What you are talking about doing will work in theory on an unloaded truck but if you put any weight on that setup...

Look for a CDR valve for a civilian Blazer with the diesel or any of the civilian diesel pick-up trucks. They all use the same injectors unless someone has changed them out for marine injectors.

I have a set on a Jeep CJ, You do have to have the special lugs. Rick

Mine looks normal. Member map is about centered and the search box is on the far right.

Well sir, you are entitled to your opinion. I have never had anyone else complain about my advise in the past ten years. I guess I can see where the one negative rep I got came from. I am sorry you do not agree with me. You will notice there are others that said the same as I. I will say no...

If you are going to reply just do so from experience and not guess at it or post what you find elsewhere on the internet. Nobody slammed you, just pointed out that you were wrong in your description. You would not want to ask a question and receive bad info would you? Rick

My bad! I pointed out the mistake and corrected it with the same mistake. :oops: I meant track rod. Has been corrected. I hate migraine headaches.

" A track bar and a sway bar are the same in preventing side axle movement, just different geometry. " 100% completely wrong! The first sentence in the paragraph above is also wrong. A sway bar reduces body roll by transferring weight from the loaded side to the...

People really need to read the thread from the beginning. He is getting plenty of fuel blowing out of the filter. You will NOT get a lot of fuel at the injector since there is not a lot injected at one shot. If the glow plugs are wet then he is getting fuel to the cylinders, or whatever is being...

Why?? It is cranking fine. That is also not a good habit to get into because ALL of the newer starters use rare earth magnets in the armature and they will shatter very easily even with a light tap of a hammer.

If the glow plugs are wet then they are not heating up, even a little heat would dry them in a hurry. If they were heating up the ether would have gone Boom! The fact that it did not even burp on the ether makes me wonder, do you have any compression? Does the cranking sound normal? Have you had...

BINGO! That will work, I think if you give that answer to all the others saying the same thing it will alleviate some of the issues. I will mention it when I see the question asked. Now, How do I get that to open when I log in? Rick

That might work, I will see if I can get to it and give that a try.;) Rick

I think the problem here is that the threads are coming in to fast to read them all. There are usually 10 new pages between visits for me and there is no way I have time to read ten pages. The bit about the old way of seeing the the past threads that keeps coming up? I know you say it is never...

CMPS? Remember, I am an old guy.

I can't follow the new threads like I used to, Now I can only see an ongoing stream which is useless to me and the bar on the left which shows very little. Am I missing something? I understand change but I don't live on here and have very limited time to spend here so I really do not have a lot...

JP-8 is just another more refined form of diesel. You will find it will not touch the tar like substance I think he is talking about. Plus, the method you mention is a sure way to wipe out an injection pump, not exactly what I would call good advice. But hey, it's your machine, do what you want...
