If I'm not mistaken my m1008 originally was equipt. with a th 400. I bought this truck with a 700r4 in it that just failed. I found a th400 that works well. It also comes with a 350 gasser, which I've been wanting to do as well. My question is will the th400 mate up to the np208 without...
2duece- Yea it was kind of hard to restart after it died. I thought maybe it was out of gas and opened the gas cap. (don't know why) When I did the gas tank was pressurized like it vapor locked. Don't know why but then it started and I turned for home in a hurry! It had over a 1/4 tank in it...
The problem that led me to seeing this head gasket leak has to do with my injection pump, I think. The truck started out surging while cruising at half throttle. It has since started to lose power under the same conditions. It has even stalled completely while turning up a steep hill. Am I on...
phantasom, Stand by. I might be interested, but I want to get all the info I can get before I jump on anything. Feeling like a gasser might be a better fit for me right now do to lack of experience with the 6.2. Should have thought of that before I bought the truck, but I just couldn't help...
acmunro- It's leaking onto the top of the engine block, it's only a little but my lack of experience has me nervous. not sure what the tranny came out of but I've had it out and it has a diesel torque converter. Also what is the proper way to adjust the tv cable? This morning I pulled the...
I'm having expensive problems with my m1008 again. Injection pump is going I think and now I see oil leaking from one of the heads. I'm told these are both very exspensive fixes. I'm in upstate NY so there are tons of rusted out gas trucks around. I've found an 83 half ton with a strong 350...
engine surge
It's got a winter blend fuel in it. The surging has occured before and after the filter change. I was hoping the filter was the problem. Based on you info it sounds like a air leak. I'm noticing a little fuel around the fuel filter housing. If fuel is leaking out than air...
anyone reconize this? When I'm cruising at about mid throttle in my m1008 it surges. This seems like the fuel is restricted and then clears up. Major power surge! I want it to run like this constantly. A friend said it might be the fuel injector pump. I thought maybe a bad injector. By the...
I just bought an 86 m1008. I'm new to diesels and mvs. The truck has a small lift with 33s. The previous owner also swapped the tranny to a 700r4. The truck could use a little more power. Has any one out there tried the banks turbos or maybe the 6.5 with turbo is a worthy swap? Any help? I...
