    Tranny Case

    TH4oo cases are getting rare and that is a good price for it. 2 wd cases are different in they are set up for a tin converter dust cover, so you loose the added structural support of the original. However, you can drill and tap the mounting holes on some of them if the flange matches up with...

    Packard connectors or shrink-tube splices?

    Snap On, Matco and Mac tools all offer a good quality packard connector pliers. It uses 2 seperate pairs, one to crimp the wire, and a round one to crimp around the rubber terminal seals. I love using them for electrical accessories and add ons. One voltage source can have multiple uses. I use...

    Haflinger Price?

    If it is a Bug eye North american, it is worth at least $8000- $16000. Out of 16,000+ Haflingers, only 336 Bug Eye NA700Ap's were made for U.S. market(it will have a D.O.T. tag). They are very fun to drive and will make a Jeeper cry as they fit when others don't, and they have locking diffs and...

    First Pinz driveway pic

    You will need a balance adapter to properly balance them, the rims are not hub centric(the hole in the middle is not centered) they are lug centric. If you want to borrow an adapter, I have one. Hope to see you at the gathering in June, I am still waiting for my injection computer to return...

    M1009 tranny

    My many years of transmission repairs screams bad vac pump or leaking modulator(fluid will come out of the vac line if bad). Check for vac with a guage. Lack of vac = delayed harsh shifting, High vac= early soft shifting. Some people use adjustable modulators to dial in a desired shift pattern.

    Transmission noise

    "Is possible to repair that (change the gearwheels) without special tools? I tried the TMs but haven't found the section where this is covered, maybe someone can point me to the right direction or let go of a few tips or hints on that task." Mark, the answer to your question is yes. The gear on...

    High pressure fuel line bleeding.

    Easiest way is to use 2 people,one person on the key, the othersprays WD 40 into the plenum to start and keep it running while bleeding the lines one at a time. Takes about 10 min and no battery charger. As each line gets bled, it will smooth out and run normal. :wink: I've used this method...

    M1008 cranked fine and then stopped.

    You should be using WD-40 , not ether. Spay a fog of WD over the plenum opening with the air filter off, as soon as it starts, you can keep it running long enough to get the air out of the lines with a few misting shots as needed. This method is what I use on all diesels that have run out of...

    Sizzling

    Autozone or Napa should have fuseable link wire. It is also very important to use star washers on these starter connections as it keeps the nut from backing off and provides good contact between the wire and the terminal. Loose starter wires have been the cause of many electrical problems in...

    Swollen glow plug removal

    I pulled out 4 one time, the guy refused to replace a bad controller :shock: One of the most common ways to kill the glow plugs is a low coolant level causing the controller to cycle the plugs too long, resulting in melting or "mushrooming" of the tips.

    Swollen glow plug removal

    This is exactly what they told us to do at the GM Tech classes when this engine came out(they only paid .3hrs to diagnose and .2hrs to replace them), so a lot of 6.2s are running around with debris in the pre chambers. I however always pulled the injector to remove the debris, it is a simple...

    Swollen glow plug removal

    I used to pull these out a lot working for GM, my best tip is to spray it with penetrant and remove it while it is still hot as the metal is more flexible . We just used vice grips or a small slide hammer puller with a vice grip adapter. I also used a couple of flat blade screwdrivers a few...

    M151A2 clutch question

    You either have the wrong disk(why would you even use a puck disk?) or a bad pressure plate. Even though you did not surface the flywheel, a new disk should not slip with a new pressure plate. The puck type Disk usually has bronze facings which tend to grab better when hot.There should be...

    Injection Pump leak

    To pin point the leak, first clean suspect area with brake cleaner and let dry, then take a can of spray foot powder or powder anti persperent and spray it all over the suspected area and let it dry. Now run engine till it starts to leak, shut it down and look for sags in the powder, at the top...

    Debris in the return line check valve (CUCV)

    Prior to removal take a chisle and make an index mark on the pumpflange where it meets the timing cover. When you re-install the pump just match the index point you made and it will be in the same position. Once it is back together and running you can fine tune if needed.

    Shift Kit in M1008?

    I would suggest making sure the trans operates correctly before trying to modify it. Once you have verified it is in good working order, it is very important to keep everything clean. I have been a trans specialist for decades and can tell you that brake cleaner and compressed air are your...
