    Rod Bolts

    M1009 Towing

    Looking at the pics, the attachments to the frame look pretty beefy to me. . . . Grade 8 bolts, It looks like the guy who had it did it right.

    Anybody know where to get lift shackles?

    Anybody know where to get lift shackles?

    shackle flip won't work as the stops for the overload springs are on the frame, flame on if I'm wrong. . . . .

    M998 Hmmwv tach installed.

    Did more reading today, it looks like this transducer is only used with the troubleshooting test sets for the vehicle.

    M998 Hmmwv tach installed.

    Ok, lets bring this back from the dead. . . . Will this sensor (Part 4) provide the pulses necessary to drive a Tach? I have the oilpump drive unit that this mounts on and want to pick up the rest of the parts I need to install a tachometer.

    Head gasket getting ready to blow?

    Heads are cracked, maybe the block as well. . . Can't afford magnafluxing right now, so I'm trying to put together a bandaid motor from the various 6.2's I have laying around. . . . :-(

    Late model 6.5 waste gate?

    You may have just ruined my day. . . . . Is it a matter of the bracket not bolting up? I've got this one ordered. . . . guess I'll find out soon http://store.heathdiesel.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14&products_id=1055

    Head gasket getting ready to blow?

    New head bolts no matter what, they are TTY, torque to yield, and are not reusable.

    Head gasket getting ready to blow?

    Worth a shot, I will check the rear most bolt tomorrow, if its already at spec or within 10 lbft on the high side I think I'll just be safe and throw a set of head gaskets at it. Primary right now as my 06 GTO is constantly going into "safe mode" while driving. Thanks

    Head gasket getting ready to blow?

    Well, I read anywhere between 5 and 10, sooooo, I obviously went to the high end. . . . as always :( It sure looks like leakage between the head and block. . . .
