Read I needed to lift the engine. That wasn't necessary. Read I needed to pull the dipstick tube. That wasn't necessary either. Just smacked it with a mallet and gave it a wiggle. Pan off, mains in, crank balancer on. Old rear was 9 and 3. Tapped out with the butt of a drill bit. Geometry issues...

Beautiful work. Where in the world did you get those headers? Are they an old set of Stan's?

I'll see if I can't space them up with material cut from old radiator hose. That ought to last forever or near enough. Did you use the four row big block bushing kit? I assumed that would be the right one, since one wasn't specifically listed for the diesel.

Disregard. Accidental comment.

The M1008? It can drive 55. Sing it. If you daily it, you'll be fixing it. It's a bit unreliable because of the bean counters at GM, but it's mostly unreliable because it's 40 years old. If it's rubber, it's rotten. Most of them have been sitting for a long time. You'll have fueling issues...

Welp, the engine oil wanted out and it wasn't in a mood to negotiate. I poured three gallons in it just to make it back to the house, and every lingering stop light and malingering driver I got stuck behind was cause for profanity as hasn't been heard since I was enlisted. My truck doesn't have...

You can save 70 pounds running lithium batteries these days. I don't know much about them, but long haul truckers are successfully using them now.

I'd sure like to have that custom brush guard, but the shipping would be astronomical.

Tank for compressor? Anything else?

I've been grumpy lately. I hope you'll accept my apology. Have a good week.

I'll keep that in mind the next time I buy a 1938 railroad engine.

You used to be able to wash the sludge out of a gasser by putting diesel in the crankcase. I wouldn't dare these days.

I don't mind short filter life. Seems this truck has to be overhauled every six months anyway. If it had to be reliable, I'd drive a Toyota. If you'd like to ship me a few dozen drums of R99, I'd stack them up out back. Probably the only way the CUCV will ever get any. I'm never going to clog my...

We haven't got biodiesel here. I would suggest to city counsel that we have one biodiesel station per 500 head shops, but the city couldn't sustain that many biodiesel stations.

The faster, more fuel efficient, more reliable, quieter, and smoother driving might be accounted for by the trailer it's riding.

How's the truck coming along?

I only say that because I wasted my time and money hoping it wasn't the injector pump when I had your exact symptoms. I ate a lot of noodles that month, but I managed to pay for it. Just remove the lines from the injectors and pull the pump off like a steel spaghetti spider. Take pictures, and...

I have no interest in this truck. I just browse BaT most evenings and happened to see a HMMWV. Thought y'all might at least like to look at it. There's over a hundred pictures in the gallery. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/am-general-m1123-hmmwv-3/

I notice now that the radiator fan is asymmetrical. Does the orientation matter on reassembly?

Don't waste your time and money hoping it's not the injector pump. Just do it.
