    Lipstick on a Pig?

    Put duct tape squares over the intakes. Get a end wire wheel on your drill and remove rust in combination with your shop vac. Follow up with cold galvanizing spray paint covered with flat black spray enamel.

    Water Pump Leak, small crack in rear of housing

    Yes the fan has to come off to replace the belt. Not fun, I did a thread on it about 4 years ago. Involves lining up the access holes in the fan clutch with the allen screws and working blind to remove them.

    2003 M1123 6.5L injection pump issues HELP!

    Well it can be assumed that if you are getting plenty of pressure to the injection pump, getting voltage to the solenoid and it is moving inside, your injection pump needs to go out for rebuild.

    GMV sponson top plate

    Someone has right sides of these “fender toppers” on ebay but not the left side. I bought the one side and was amazed that the holes lined up perfectly on my 1025A2. So I decided to repop the opposite side. Common aluminum .25 thick. It is a mirror image of the ebay item except for a...

    353 Detroit won't start.

    Needs hot batteries to crank fast. Crack open the fuel line between the fuel pump on the accessory drive and the unit injectors and verify good diesel flow when cranking.

    Being in manufacturing I will hazard a guess. The number wasn’t stamped upside down there as the truck went down the line, rather, was stamped as was convenient to the operator of the brake press that bent that frame rail. The number is possibly the last few digits of a part number that...
