Was looking for a shop in or near Milwaukee to work on M1008; then did it all myself!
If it is a loose rocker arm, have a look at these 2 topics. IMO better then replacing the nylon retainers. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/6-2-valve-rocker-retainers.203720/ https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/diy-ss-riveted-rocker-retainers-with-pics-and-pns.48285/ I'm thinking of... -

Start eliminating injectors by loosening them up 1 by 1 while running and see if the knock goes away? Even with the GVO, isn't 80 MPH pushing this engine? What RPMs would that get on your setup? -

On a 6.5 with serpentine belt the crank pulley bolts are 30 ft lbs. -

I kinda mixed things up in my post. Was in a hurry to leave for work. But check the thread on the installer. Most come with standard thread, but you need fine thread M16.

Double check the thread on the balancer puller you ordered. It's M16x1,5 (fine thread). You definitely don't want to strip those threads in the crank... Did you get an installer as well? I'm sure Rick can get you the pulley. That reminds me, I still have to PM him about the one I asked him to... -

Check these speaker brackets out. Member @Mad Texan recently installed these or similar. Looks easy enough to copy if you feel like it. I LOVE the 6.2/6.5 diesel sound.

Great work man. Been following this thread and giving likes, but I just had to "say" it! This project of yours is close to being a restoration. :D (y) I can recommend getting a MIG welder. At my previous employer they made and repaired their own things and I got acquainted with welding. Never... -

For the damper, I recently put Dayco on my K1500 6.5 and one on my friends M1008. I made my own puller and installer. Do you have a welding machine there? It's not too expensive and since you want to do it right, just change it. Get a new crank pulley to go with it, it has a large rubber part in...
