There are 3 main parts that have to work together for the glow plugs to function. The temperature sensor in the drivers side head at the rear, the glow plug relay and the glow plug card. Plus all the wires in between, the glow plugs themselves, both batteries load tested at full strength, the...

Jennifer doesn't call you Evil Joe for no reason. Yes, the GL1100 would be worth a road trip.

If you have fuel at the the 8 injectors. Then the pink wire is connected and the solenoid is working. It also means the engine should start. Are you getting any dirty white smoke out the exhaust while cranking? If so, that means fuel but no heat inside the engine. Back to the glow plugs to...

Chris, no worries on too much boost. It is neat to actually get above 10 psi. Just to know it can. I imagine the times it gets that high will be few and far between. I purposely left the GEP NA 6500 bottom end alone and kept the 22.5:1 compression pistons. I wanted as much non turbo umph as...

That looks good. I like the running boards and how your rear cargo doors actually look closed all the way.

Thank you gentlemen. I topped off this morning. 432 miles on the tank that was filled the day I noticed no boost. All the hot rodding around, daily driving to work and over 200 miles of 70-80 mph cruising still got me over 14 mpg. It was actually .24 below my total average since new. (These...

So Colton who is now a 22 year old senior in the A&M Corps of Cadets had an interesting summer. The airport here in town he has worked at for years is getting the runway repaved. No planes in or out means no need for a helper doing maintenance. He stayed in College Station and did meal delivery...

It has been a few years since I had one apart. However, I am pretty sure it just dumps the return on top. When I added a 6.2 to my M715. I made the fuel tank vent to the air filter on a stock truck my fuel return line. That dumps fuel into the fuel filler neck on that truck. Almost 8 ye and...

It will go faster. My Gasser will stay in the 52-55 range until an up hill pushes it back down to around 42-46. Enjoy any speed runs in the cool weather. I discovered that 48 mph is all I could do in the summer time and not be getting past 210°.

Plus power steering pump and pulley.

Thank you.

Do you have the special $50 oil in the transmission? My NV4500 was loud like that when I installed it in the M715. I changed the fluid and it got better. But not gone. It has slowly over the years gotten louder again. Judging by the number of used NV4500’s out there with bad input shaft...

Check your tail lights too. Somewhere in the back of my head I seem to think the tail lights and dash lights are on the same fuse. Did you try messing with the light switch twist? Those switches were not the best quality when new.

That comes down to what you want to do with the truck. The 208 works great in all but the few 205 equipped CUCV's out there.

I can see the pictures now. Couldn't earlier when I replied. That hitch you have looks very substantial, tied into the frame at the rear and secured to the body in front of the fuel tank. Similar hitches are available for my E39 BMW Touring with higher weight ratings that I listed for the...

I am not able to see your pictures. I also don't know exactly what you mean by Hacken trailer coupling. If you mean the stock pintle hitch. Then, no it is not bolted to the frame cross member. (The CUCV trucks did have it bolted to the frame with great strength.) It is very lightly bolted in...

That shouldn't be the issue then. Pulling the return line check valve and making sure it isn't full of gunk would be a good way to verify it isn't coming apart inside already though.

How old is your injection pump? My first 1009 had a miss at idle. I did the injectors hoping for a positive change but didn’t get it. A Rebuild of the IP cured all my ills. If yours is more than 10 years since a known rebuild I would suggest that as your next step. Assuming head gasket health...

Think nice thought when working with the solid state box. One electron misplaced normally causes the box to die.

Interesting new automotive trivia. Neat. Once you pick out which bulbs you want to use. Then the fun task of installing them comes along. If you or your son is a contortionist. With small fingers and a high pain threshold. Just reach back in there and swap the bulbs out. I like to pull the...
