I can answer a few of your questions because I put a NV4500 behind a 6.2 in my M715. You need a 4wd version of the NV4500 that will take a passenger side drop transfer case. I do not know for sure which year NV4500 will do that or maybe all will. A 1985 K30 6.2 flywheel will work with a...

Colton and I should be able to attend yet again. Thanks for doing this Lincoln!

60G's in all 4 6.2 engines on the road these days. The newest set is 3 years old and the oldest is 5 years old. They work everytime.

I think I am blessed to do more than 90% of all my driving in 6.2 powered former military vehicles. I have been doing this for years. Each of the 4 trucks has a different "normal" engine sound. We all know that the best description of a normal healthy 6.2 is "a washing machine full of...

Pull the bottom hose. That valve has been sitting in one place for maybe 30 years now. You go messig with it, it might get mad and not seal up again.

I can't find my thread from a year ago. So, here are the pictures I took of the NAP brackets on my M1009:

Nostalgia air products has some great brackets. They get them made by a place in Ft Worth. I can't link them here from my phone. I think I have your email so I will try sending it to you. I also put put pictures of them on my M1009 on a thread here or the Zone a year ago when I wrote about...

Just a dirty head and header without drips is something that can stay or get fixed. Depending on your level of OCD. If it is OCD, check the level regularly and normally it won't get any worse. However, if your OCD is actually CDO because that is the proper order. Then you better pull the...

Theory on diesels is so simple. Put clean fuel to the IP, let the IP send the pressurized fuel to the injectors and let any left over fuel go back to the tank. Have a clean air filter and unrestricted air access. Then spin it fast enough to make fire and let it run. It doesn't read like you...

Very good point. I am at 468 feet above sea level and normally don't consider elevation change. I am glad to hear about the help at altitude.

That is a very early version of the blinker box. I have never personally seen one like that. The front of your tool box and battery box is where the difference is. Here is a thread listing out a few of the differences between old and newer trucks...

There are a bunch of little bitty splines around the steering shaft with 1 big spline. The only way to put the steering wheel on anyway besides how the factory put it is to use a file and flatten a few of the small splines. If you look at the steering wheel there is a notch under the horn...

The wait light shows when the glow plugs are working before you start the engine. However, the plugs still glow up to 30 seconds or so after engine start up. It is officially called "after glow." The glow plug controller determines how much after glow is needed based on engine temperature...

I got the bushing swapped out. I was writting to demostrate a noise many might not think of and how little difference the new bushings made to the drive feel.

The burning of air and fuel is what give the engine power. Adding air but not fuel will increase the efficiency of the engine some. Which might make a 1-5% power increase at some rpm's. Basically, anywhere the NA 6.2 is not efficient the turbo alone might make those rpm's more efficient. A...

You are probably correct about the truck being older and upgraded. What does your blinker flasher box on the drivers side inner fender look like? Black box about the size of a cigarette pack with a single 3 pin plug or hug box the size of a TV dinner with 8 wires screwed in? You have a...

A few weeks ago Colton had driven RED to work at the airport. He texted asking if I could bring him a clean change of clothes since he had a date after work. I don't need an excuse to visit the airport, so I set off with his clothes to go look at planes. It was very hot and I parked my a/c'ed...

You can loosen the tailgate side of the hinges and slide it over a bit. I think the truck side of the hinges can be adjusted as well. Just be real carefull because the spring steel in there will hurt you bad. Pulling the glass out is easy as is pulling the felt. Clean the area around the...

It was nice to see you Chris and nice to meet Dave. Not much better than spending an after noon visiting and looking at mv parts. Thanks again for for the lunch Rory.

You could have a leaking fuel filter base. The engine starts on what is in the pump, revs up a bit as it runs out and then dies. Holdng a faster idle gets new fuel pumped in before it runs out. Very common problem. Before you spend the money on a new IP. Get a new square fuel filter base or...
