M1009 ECU conversion parts

No it's not. You need a Zirchoniun interface with a full floating ground.

I think that only helps with side fumbling, not the unilateral vain shaft.

ketekmelet you'll find out that you're being led on a bit with these comments.

The 6.2 is a mechanical diesel designed from the Late 70's. The base block remained up until 98, but became a 6.5 over the years. The injection system remained close to the same. But the later models (ODBII trucks) had a hybrid pump that the PCM helped control the timing.

Let me make this completely clear.

The 6.2/6.5 is a IDI diesel. It will NEVER compete with a modern diesel. It will also never be a tune on the fly engine without metric tons of money.

Now with that out of the way, I'd suggest the following.

Turbo it, Turn the pump up, Install a boost and EGT gauge. Drive it by the gauges. If you're wanting the ultimate mileage. Keep EGT's below 600F and boost under 5psi. A mechanical diesel can have power and still retain mileage if you drive by gauges. But your request to "ECU" it is a futile endeavor.

What's wrong with using a plain, old fashioned Flux Capacitor?

You can run bio diesel if you care about the environment. You can also turn up your pump and control mpg with your foot.

Where are you in Oregon, come look at my M1008 and ill show you how it allready has mechanical fuel injection.

Gentlemen, I think this one has been played out...surely the poor fellow has the point.

I second Patracy and add...The point of the 6.2 for some, is that it is bio-diesel capable and reliable. One must be VERY careful with the quality control on the biodiesel if it is a home brew. The first thing I did upon recieving my M1009 was replace the IP. It smelled of Burger King and was basically ruined by poor biodiesel.

Ketekmelet - get that 6.2 to stock set up, square away the wiring (very important) and brew up some high grade biodiesel - that would be a great step toward 'earth friendly.' And then, teach us how to brew up the good stuff!

Oh, and forgive our bretheren, for they have a healthy sense of humor!

Respectfully.

Big thanks to PATRACY and FOREST522!!! and also the dude who love smarties...

I've done some research on this topic and wanted to have more like a second opinion from you guys.

And yeah my second option was to add a turbo and install throttle control.

I dunno about the biodiesel... i think that would be more of a long term plan...

I would love to see a drive by wire set up on a 6.2.

Ok, why the throttle control when a pull cable has worked for the last 100 years?

You COULD fashion a servo to actuate the pump throttle lever. Then use a potentiometer to drive a servo controller. But there's be no gain. (Loss in cost, weight, complexity, exc.) I guess you could have a digital means to control the RPM then. But then again, a hand throttle cable has also been around for a number of years and is much simpler and less prone to failure.

Sometimes less is more.

Ok sorry, maybe im not using the proper term... i dont know what a hand throttle is... but i guess that will work too..

And if we want to go cheaper, i can just train my throttle foot to not step on the pedal too much...

Finally, a solution to the throttle cable vibrating against the hood at idle noise!

Zip tie would cure that.

*mind blown*

Or run it under the intake.

It's a 6.2! Adding a ECM and all that junk won get you one red horse power more. Just problems and pdm burn outs.
