The pre-'94 IP is what you want for the 6.5. The 6.5 everybody wants is the 2000 and newer GEP made version. It has all the stuff right that GM got wrong.
However, the little stuff matters if money is a concern. 1988 and older means V belt and normal water pump. Newer and it is a...
An injector with any slop inside will hammer like crazy above idle.
Do you mean the stock trailer plug? I'll take it. PM me details to get shipping money to you.
You might live in an ok 'hood. But where you work is another story. When we got off I-35 3 years ago to pick up the M35's. Sermis looked around at that first traffic light and said. "I didn't bring enough guns. This here is a two gun street."
11.00-16 Michelin XL radial tires. Very heavy on the LAV 3 piece tubeless rims as pointed out above.
Aired down to around 15 psi, they are great on any surface. Take them up to their rated 85 psi and you will get stuck on a blade of grass and feel every blade of grass you run over too.
I...
For sure, pull the starter and pull/push on the Bendix gear to figure out where the slop is. If there is no slop in any of the connections, pull the solenoid and verify a spring is in there. Could just be a busted return spring. Or a missing spring.
Have the key in when you go to pull the cylinder out. It helps on some of them.
What are you doing with your old CUCV keyed locks? Shoot me a pm is you want to get rid of them.
Also, the steering shaft has a line on the end. The wheel will have a line on it. Line them back up when you...
Just topped off. Only got 18.6 mpg running 60-63 mph for 260 miles. I can smell a little diesel from the IP throttle shaft every know and then. Guess the IP is next. I was getting 20-22 a year ago.
Nice looking truck. I had the 1009 in Bastrop today.
As mentioned above. Come to a LSMVPA meeting at Mabry. Look into the Rally in Bryan for November as well. There have been at least 2 M715's at each Rally so far.
I really haven't done that much to the 1009 lately. Except drive it.
130 miles last weekend pulling a Scout trailer and hauling 4 Scouts to and from a camp out.
260 miles this week to and from a teacher conference for me.
All with no trouble. 16.7 mpg with the pretty darn heavy 5x8 box...
Seems about all of us posted or where writting the correct answers at the same time.
By the way, this is probably the 238th thread with the same stuff listed out on this topic.
As pointed out above, any diesel will use a variety of fuels with the same basic hydrocarbon count. This does not include the newer computer controlled emission diesels made since 2006. Run as good as straight diesel? Your results will vary.
Because of the piston design, intake valve design...
That is true. However, then you will have an experimental wiring system that nobody but you will know how it operates. Making it so none of us here will be able to help with any future wiring problems, reducing resale value and who knows what will happen when you try to slave another truck or...
Yes, that works great. However, because the CUCV alternators need to know what is going on with their battery and sometimes with the other battery. Leaving the system stock is the best choice.
Now, if you have anything else besides a CUCV. Go for it. I have done that many times on...
