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.

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.

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.

Need Cat ET. Know anybody with one?

You just move to the same sharp angle you had when they popped out and then pop them in again, then straighten out the assy to keep them captured.

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?

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.

Agree with fuzzy. Needs WTECII controller for a ‘97. Michelin tires are too old as well for a long march. Also voltage regulator been cannibalized.

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.

Auction link? Will be able to tell you from pics.

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.

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.

No frame numbers. The engine serial number (located on boss near water pump, starting with MD) is unrelated to the vehicle serial number. Not entirely sure how to verify what lockers you have other than opening the cover and looking.

I forgot, are those DDEC or manual fuel, I think manual, the HETs are DDEC, anyway, problem might be the fuel rack is stuck in the off position, remove a valve cover and check that the fuel rod is moving a gear at each injector when you press the gas pedal.

My 2 cents: lots of GM 6.5s run 100’s of thousands of miles in pickups etc. But they are 2000 or older. The GEPs are 2001 and newer and have beefier castings. That alone is peace of mind. I doubt you will find a GEP in a HMMWV with over 60,000 miles.

Examine the slipper ends where the springs are captured by the axles, and you will see that there is about 1/2" of side to side play. This clearance is what you are seeing.

Welcome. Is your power converter working? It has fuses that can be blown and cause no charging of the second battery.

You have a very special M38A1. As you have surmised, it is a USMC Jeep with the high frequency long range radio set. It would have had the 100 amp generator (4 groove pulley) system as well. It could very well be one of the late production (1964) with positrack front axle. To determine the...
