The truck started for the first time today. I have a fuel leek under the injection pump, one fuel line is leeking. I thought I tightend them well but didn't. Looks like the bottom line so the intake needs to come back off. The motor sounded well and alternators are charging.
Today I removed the glow plugs, loosened the injector line at injectors. I have fuel at most injectors, not a lot but at least some. My battery's tested good after charging, but one goes low after only a few attempts at cranking. I will need to replace them but I need to hear this truck run...
I broke the tab off the idiot light sending unit in the block. I ordered a new part GM 25037177. Thank to rain I am unable to work today, I need a rest. I have read posts on how long it takes to change out pumps, it took me 4 days trying my best.
I have installed a new injection pump and all new injectors. New fuel filter all new fuel lines and tested the lift pump. The glow plugs have been replaced and broken gp wires fixed. I am almost ready to start, recharging battery's now.
This truck has a np208 transfer case, per tag on case. I want to install camper windows on box, but dont know how thick the walls are on the fiberglass box.
I have allmost all the parts I will need to get this truck running, I think. I found a nos takeoff starter and the brace to the block. I bought a complete set of military manuales. Alos found a GM traning manual just for the 6.2 enging. This has many clear full page diagrams of every compent. I...
joshuak thank you for your offer to help post photos. I have never sent a text in my life, I have daughters to help when they can. My oldest just graduated nursing with honors past Friday. I hope to have some photos posted soon.
I have a back injury and a failed knee replacment, and am 60 years old. I cant work like I want and cant find help. I have lost over a 100 lbs and all my mussel mass. But I am unable to sit still, I need to work.
I have a nos injection pump head and rotor pn 31816. I have searched and not found info on swapping just the head. I charged the battery and will take them for testing they are a few years old. I also ordered replacement cab corners and rocker panels.
I am so sore and stiff today from a combation of rain and working under the truck yesterday. I am trying to find someone to help as I really cant do this type of work anymore. I have ordered starter braces, injectors and all rubber fuel and vacuum lines. I still need the in tank sock filter.
I was able to partly remove the starter and see the flex plate teeth. I found the starter brace was missing. I was unable to remove the inspection cover, The bolts would not budge, they may have been Loctite. The teeth that I can see don't look bad but I need to turn the engine over.
I got the truck home and had a chance to look it over . I had my daughter take photos of the truck and the tags we hope to post them shortly. I cleared a bunch of scrap lumber from the box and finely got to go inside it.
I saw the data plates saying it was converted from another model. The rear does have a swaybar. I relly hope it does have a rear locker,thats one reason I bought it. I like to drive offroad and my m35 is to big. This is the perfect size body for what I want.
I have been reading the great info posted here and plan to do many of the suggested improvements. The doghead starter relay being first on the list, thanks doghead. Will change out the fuel filter to something better.
I do plan to use as a camper, love the looks of the truck and the storage above the cab is perfect. I did not know the body was fiberglass, thanks dr evil.
That is the truck,not home yet will try to post photos with help. I type two slow says to refresh page. The truck needs a starter and flex plate, then find the cause of no fuel to injectors.
I bought the m1028 that is listed in the for sale section here. The pics are in user UCRCCV postings. The truck is not running now it has a host of problems to address. I bought the truck to use as a camper and think it will be a fun project. The known problems are a bad starter and ring gear...
