    Nevada M1009

    Just like anything, take care of it and it will last. Sounds like they've been trying to kill yours, but it's still surviving. Drive mine everyday and leave the new duramax parked.

    Normal For M1009 To Smoke Under Load?

    Did you buy from govt. or private? Someone might have messed with it already.

    Cold advance coolant temp switch pigtail

    The two spades idea was already suggested and I will do that as a last resort. Really prefer the intended one. Striking out so far. I agree that it's a common plug So common I can't find one and or even a part number.

    Normal For M1009 To Smoke Under Load?

    I also use two-cycle oil at every fill up. No smoke at all at anytime. Runs smoother and not as loud. Have you replaced your air-filter? Ive read several threads that mentioned lack of enough air might be the culprit for the smoke. Could also be several other things also, but I would start...

    Cold advance coolant temp switch pigtail

    I don't think so It should be one kinda like the alternator plug pigtail, but Vertical slots instead of horizontal. Simple and doesn't have the gasket seal. Im still looking

    Cold advance coolant temp switch pigtail

    Searched TM's and also found a ton of threads and info for the switch itself. Have a new ACDelco one on the way. What I'm needing is a new pigtail for it. I can't seem to fine the pigtail part info and didn't see it listed in the TM's. Found the switch itself just fine.. Anyone have any info...

    Fake GM Water Pump?

    I said buy the best parts you can afford. That does NOT mean only USA. China parts like the other poster said are either really good or really crappy. It all depends on what you want to pay. We've been down this road before. Buy cheap parts, wherever their made, and don't be squawking...

    Fake GM Water Pump?

    A water pump isn't something I would skimp on. Its not like it's a quick fix. If it was alternator, sure you can try the cheap crap. Waterpump......but best part you can afford.

    Fake GM Water Pump?

    Forgot to add that most of the acdelco stuff I've bought on Amazon has been USA made. In fact I just bought factory GM window handles on Amazon. Item arrived and was in factory GM box and was made in Canada. Acdelco Harmonic balancer was made in USA. Acdelco cold advance switch was made in...

    Fake GM Water Pump?

    I would return it. ACDelco still makes them. I buy a lot of acdelco stuff on Amazon and have had a problem only once. Was an alternator that was supposed to be delco/remy but clearly was not. Item returned and Amazon notified of issue and $$ refunded. Hassle free. Return it and get a...

    Real quick question, M923 fuel filter

    I know this is an old thread but it helped me today. The bolt size to bleed off air is 10mm, not 8mm as stated earlier. Fyi
