It is your truck to do with as you wish. I wanted to write that first so you don't think I am trying to tell you what to do because I am not. I have a '52 REO M35 with a 331 Gasser engine. I also have some sports car type gasoline powered cars I auto cross. Basically, they all fit in the...

Oh yeah, sometimes I forget people buy Dodge trucks that don't have a Cummins in them. Hmm.

I don't know the answer to your question Kenny. But, it actually brings up another question. Will the Cummins NV4500 input shaft fit the pilot bearing on a 6.2/6.5 and will a clutch for the bigger Cummins NV4500 fit the Chevy flywheel? My first post in this thread was all based on what I...

Banks has a fuel pump mount that is also an oil drain. You could weld a tube onto a fuel pump plate to do the same thing. That will keep the mechanical pump and not have you removing the oil pan. Chevy had a NV4500 bell with a slave cylinder on the bottom passenger side. That will hit the...

If the relay under the dash is clicking with the key in the start position. That means your ignition switch on the dash is working. Do the lights on the dash change when you try to start? That would confirm the ignition switch is working. Next is the relay under the dash that you say is...

When you get the replacement lines. Make sure you clean the ends and don't make them gorilla tight. Hold the injector still with an open end 7/8" wrench and just snug the line down with a 3/4" open end. Only tighten down enough to stop seeping fuel. While making sure again the injector...

Sorry if I was confusing. I didn't mean to be. Let me try again. As pointed out by me and others since my first attempt. There are several companies that make lift kits which include springs, shocks and new brake hoses. All of which are required to do a lift safely. However, they can be...

That small of a lift kind of leaves you in never never land. You could do all new springs, shocks and brake hoses for a bunch of money. You could do ORD 1 inch add a leaf with the ORD FUSH kit and longer shackles in the front and the ORD 2.5 inch rear shackle flip. DIY4x has the same basic...

Yes, thanks for posting. That yard full full of trucks not finished means things haven't changed to me. The BAE factory that used to make FMTV trucks is just 60 miles or so away. Some of their former employees now work at my school. They always seem to end up in my class. I guess the 383 green...

I actually have never tested one. I have three trucks on the road each day with that set up though. Sorry I can't comment about the slow seeping of the vacuum. I can comment about the set up of the valve though. If you wish, go ahead and try to get exactly .646. You might or might not like...

Somehow I missed this thread. There are several questions asked that got answered but kind of disjoined. Driving in snow/ice conditions in 2Hi with the front hubs locked on pavement so if you get stopped all you have to do is pull the lever for 4Hi or 4LO is just fine. Yes, all the parts that...

Then most likely your regulator is shot. My drivers side window on my first M1009 did that. Cold front just blew in, 60 miles from home and no jacket. I went through a fast food place and it went down just fine. Just not back up. New regulator from LMC, a few cut knuckles and all was well...

Unplug the advance wire from the IP. Take it for a drive and see if that helps. If so, then the sensor on the passenger side rear head could be faulty. I get back to my class and your other truck Tuesday. I have one of those sensors there if that is the problem. If that doesn't change anything...

Watch your speedometer needle when you start moving. See if the noise and the needle movement is in synch. The speedometer head tends to make noises if it hasn't had attention in a few decades.

Is there a number tag on your extra wire?

The suggestion was made a few post up to start the engine with the injector removed. That is why I wrote that. Steve, I went and looked at a head I got sitting in my class. Maybe taking an old screwdriver or anything with enough length and strength for the job and after getting the end red...

Make sure you check the brakes and steering system out pretty good before you go blasting down the road at 80 mph. It is a 30 year old 5,500 pound truck. While it will run in the 70-80 mph range all day long. Your best mpg's will be around 60 mph with the stock sized tires normally.

Dang Steve. If I understand it correctly. The compressed air method won't work because the tip is stuck against the back of the pre-cup? Pliers or anything you have stuck in through the injector hole aren't able to keep a grip on it when you try to pull them out? Right? You need to either...

OK. I went and pulled one of mine and it only had 4 is why I asked.

I have only seen 4 groove HMMWV pulleys. Are you sure 5 groove ones exist?
