My first engine overhaul 1980... on my first car Ford Capri young and inexperienced but still he ran again after the job - only to be crashed by a friend around 6 month later Engine 1,6l and 68 HP - really much at that time for 20 years old young men on the road in germany

I had seen this manual before but ignored that it is for the HMMVEE, but when leafing through for troubleshooting I saw one or the other interesting note. Until yet i had as reference the shopmanual which detailed shown all procederes, but it is for civilian versions and so in several things...

Regarding the fuel pump: that's exactly what I'm afraid of. So here again to get the wrong pump although the picture is the right one. Milage - if i remeber right around 240000 Miles / 380000 km - remember long stock but in the years of service as main Truck comes a lot on it. (to reach work...

Was there anything you could find out from the GM dealer? There seems to be another one here, but I don't know if it's the right one. By the way, vanaissa, with shipping costs same like german price but here also addional customer fee pay by delivery. The costs are initially negligible as long...

The engine specialist in my neighborhood unfortunately has no capacity for new orders for the next 3-4 months. He offered me to do a damage assessment in the next four weeks, however, an overhaul by his workshop can only take place in 3-4 months. With this type of engine he does not expect any...

Both coming out of cleaning in the eary morning with a worse result So the next step is taking of the complete engine again. We now have practice in it. The engine was tested in 2015 with the cylinder heads removed but not completely dismantled. We have documented the results. Everything...

I gutted and cleaned both cylinder heads yesterday. No cracks were visible until then, but tomorrow I will let both heads run through our machine cleaning, not only to remove the last remnants of deposits in inaccessible places, but also to check again for hidden cracks. We use a special...

In fact, the part was never off. The dealer takes them back already have the shipping label. Nevertheless, I still need a spare part. I'll delve into your post later.

The dealer's answer: He buys pumps from different manufacturers, which can vary in appearance. Ultimately, the pumping process begins immediately after the test described by CUCVRUS. That it is no longer an original part was actually already clear to me when I looked for it. Nevertheless, I...

You are right I know about that J Code and the difficulties in order parts of it by german dealers. To buy parts on Amazon.com also never problems, but Ebay .... First of all, when I press the lever, I also create a vacuum with this pump. This was a must be fact if I understood CUCVRUS...

Thanks Rutjes for the offer. I still hope it's the right pump ... Globeworks is a trusted dealer. He will take back the article without problems and exchange it if necessary. Maybe it's not the cheapest provider, but that's not my choice either. Especially with the Chevy it was so that I...

Thanks for your tip - I'll do it that way. Before I had the TMs 😎 of the military version, I could only work with the shop manual. The civil version is identical in many areas. With the electrics, it was then useless in many parts. And since there are big differences in electrics between...

Take US Price put tax, fee, shipping costs on it .... additional next day delivery so it make no sense waiting for import in any way to save some Euro and wait 2-3 weeks for delivery. Complete parts in the box 450 Euro - no one said Chevy M1008 is in Germany a low budget truck ;)

yes should be correct - maybe they use not the original box, they cut a label off

It go back if it is the wrong one, listed also for M1008

Like chrismas..... One of three parcels arrived. our "Handbag-Tiger" is happy about the waste in shape of a box, as he got now his own! Usually the Lady is faster to occupier boxes.

I took the cylinder head down last weekend. Fortunately no cracks and no distortion, but the valve seats Valve seems to be a little bit leaky. The usual liquid test shows this result. I suspect the constant bad combustion and the starting difficulties caused this. This was all done before...

I live next to the Dutch border. I now have a corresponding list of dealers in Europe and there are also dealers in the USA who deliver to Europe. Based on the import regulations, this is too time-consuming for many, which I can understand. There was also an import service like USA2YOU in NL in...

I have no experience with it and cannot help you with that question. But I know how much effort it takes to buy something privately from the USA with customs and fees. For that reason alone, I try to buy in Germany as much as possible.

CUCVRUS I totally agree. That's why I completely overhauled the engine after 15 years of storage. A lot of work just as a precaution because of the long time storage. Of course, all wear limits were checked and the usual wear parts such as timing chain and wheels as well as valve seats were...
