I'm curious as to why wide open throttle? I've bled my system a number of times and it sprays fuel from cracked injectors all over the inner fenders with the throttle closed.

My leak was on the passenger side at the rear of valve cover where the steel fuel line from lift pump goes to a rubber line that attaches to Fuel filter. It was hard to spot, line had gotten old and cracked.

Really..Thats the most ridiculous thing you've posted in this thread. Just stop.

I would get a used original direct drive MT-27 and have it rebuilt. Hillbillywizard might have one.

Well mine leaks oil from the back corner of the cylinder head, and that runs down and around.

I recall the story told to me was that the military didn't install the braces so they could save $14.58 per unit. I sourced mine from a wrecker on day one because I was told without it I could snap the back of the transfer case/transmission off. Took a bolt out of a guys CUCV and went to...

Here's one ; http://www.flmv.net/FLMV-CUCV.htm I bought a civy unit that doesn't have the military fuel pressure sensor, its the usual cause of leaks. Might have been from Saturn Surplus.There are also threads on here on how to plug the port off.

Does any one have experience regarding the different part numbers for the M1009 R ft exhaust pipe. I found an OEM that I picked up thinking it would be a little different and need some bending where it meets the ext pipe and muffler, but it seems to match up against my existing pipe. Mine is a...

Changing the resistor is the cheapest way to go. For a couple of dollars and 30 minutes in labor its a quick fix.

If it was 3 quarts low..you should have seen the low-oil light illuminate briefly when coming to a stop on a hill, facing downhill.

Here's a simple test you can do. When you shut it down, crack the fuel cap, you should hear a vacuum release sound. If it fires right up next morning, you have a fuel leak somewhere that is sucking air into the system. Do you have the factory fuel filter set-up?

Well, my dash gauge middle bulb above the shift indicator has never worked, except once when I hit a big bump, it lit up for a day. It's very hard to get a finger on that one without using a trained monkey. Never bothered me that much so I never went and pulled everything to get to it. But I...

Yes, left the old resistor there, so no contact against the case. Wish I had managed to source an original OEM resistor. Yes that's right.. a used resistor.

I can tell its off by where the needle sits at key on and where its at when Glowing.

Finally installed the new resistor. Works..but it reads too high. When its running its right of the tick mark, under the E of GEN. Is the 300 ohm value correct for this application? I checked the resistor code, its 300 but the tolerance band is gold, which is 5%. Could this be the issue?

Having to balance new tires and wheels is a completely different situation. I understood that ; Drive shafts are balanced and generally have small steel weights welded along their surface. Generally, shafts are balanced at a machine shop without the universal joints attached. Unless the shaft...

Why does the driveshaft need balancing? I've had several sets of u-joints replaced and never needed it.

Advice for "common mortal"s ; When you fire the truck up cold, if it runs rough at first, look in your mirrors..one side will be smoking. That's the bank to check the 4 glow plugs. Test to confirm which one went, replace. That's it..no complicated theoretical physics or quantum superposition...

Why not just pull the GP wires off and check them with a test light? Always works for me, very quick to do and you don't have to re & re the plugs. I only pull plugs when replacing or bleeding filter/injectors. I've never had a bad AC60. I only replace one when needed, that wont cause them to fail.

I've changed out many glowplugs. I always put some neverseize on the threads. Once there was one that seemed to not want to thread in as far as the others. I simply kept threading it in and out carefully increasing pressure on the ratchet. It did go in farther, but not all the way. I didn't want...
