Sorry about the 1987 wrong ID. I was thinking fuel injection for gas engine change over which did happen in 1987 for Chevy

4 door trucks, Suburbans and full size Blazers didn't change in 1987 like the rest of the GM truck line did.

The Olds 5.7 gas and diesel engines were not the same block. This is a website dedicated to the 5.7:http://a350diesel.tripod.com/story.html They did use some of the same parts though. Such as the starter motor. As pointed out above, the 6.2 was a total ground up diesel design. The IP on the...

Whatever you do, don't call him. He doesn't listen to his voice mail. Instead, he calls the number back around 0100 or so asking who you are and why you called him. Maybe he just does that to mess with me. I don't know but I figured a warning was in order.

The manifolds only let you leave them with a 2" OD pipe. Look at your stock pipes. They swell out after leaving the manifolds to 2.25. I am using a set of M1009 manifolds on a HMMWV can engine in my M715. This week is the start of building the exhaust system. All I had is the manifolds. I...

Depending on who shows up driving what, we could have upwards of 5 M715's there. There are a bunch of us around the area.

Aside from your charging problems. How long do you crank the engine to get it to start up each time? The thread written by me and linked to a post up happened because my ALT 2 was bad. I drove the truck while figuring out the problem for weeks and only charged the rear battery at most once a...

Explode, no. I had a swollen one a month ago on a project engine. I put power to it, it started to glow right next to the threads and then POP. A blast of smoke came at me and a hole developed on the tip just past where it was glowing red.

20 seconds is too long. Change out all 8 and hold them on no more than 8-10 seconds. Leave them off for about 10 seconds and do it again if you think you need more heat, but don't leave them on that long. When you take your old ones out. Use some jumper cables and a frest battery to...

Thanks for posting this up John. We will keep you in our prayers.

For sure on the 60G's. The reason is the 60G plug is self regulating. If it gets too hot, it will turn off and then back on again. The theory being it won't burn itself up and it won't swell so much it can't be removed from the head. Wellman plugs don't do that. They just heat up until they...

Glad you didn't take offense about the BT comments. I have run into the same thing when looking for parts. Here is the tip off for me. The owner of the local race engine machine shop has a bone stock 6.2 in his daily driver truck. He heard me pull in with my 6.2 powered Suburban and came out...

Thanks for linking the diesel page books in Joe. I thought I did, logged off and haven't been back since. Back to the books. They are a wealth of 6.2/6.5 knowledge. Want bigger exhaust and don't want to spend $800 to Stan's Headers? They have a template in the book to run 2.5 out of each...

This has been debated before. It boils down to this. The stock M1009 pintle hitch is pretty weak when it comes to how it is attached to the frame when compared to just about any other MV. 3.08 gears do not lend themselves to towing all that well. Soldier B is always lurking to screw up your...

Buy "6.2 diesel volume I" and most of what you are asking has already been answered. Volumes II and III really round out anything missed.

There is one in Red Rock, another in Dale and I am over in Giddings. I was pulled over in front of the Wendy's a week or so ago in my M1009 because the officer didn't recognize bumper numbers. I asked if she had seen the other military vehicles in the area with bumper numbers? "You mean the...

Make sure you get the different rear brace if you are switching over to redux.

My students and I are slogging through my M715 re-power effort at work while Colton and I keep getting his RED M1009 project moving along at home. We were cleaning up interior plastic parts to paint yesterday. Since the seat belt reels that mount to the B pillar have burgandy colored plastic...

Have you done the resistor bypass so the glow plugs are pulling off just the front battery? If so, with the cold temps you are having it could just be the after glow going on as the engine warms up and the alternator is already having to work pretty hard to charge up the battery after the pre...
