    50/50 crude oil mix

    Just ran a tank of 50/50 crude-diesel through the old girl.Other than quieting down the motor dramatically, it appeared to run just as well as straight diesel. I may refine my filter setup,but the gauge on my small transfer pump didn't show any blockage in the filter. After I filtered it I just...

    Injection pump woes I think

    After putting about 50 miles on the 6.2 yesterday,the Stanadyne treatment really did it's job.Motor appears to be much quieter, easier to start.Again,thanks for the advice. I hope that tractor supply will restock the stanadyne.. I will be running it as a preventative measure.

    Injection pump woes I think

    Thanks for the advice.The Stanadyne additive snapped it right out of it. Actually I am shocked at how well it worked . It has never ran better. I was not looking forward to changing out in an injection pump.

    Driveshaft splines

    The 6-inch lift has the factory driveshaft all the way at the end of the splines (stretched to the maximum length). So with the shackles being at the rear of the leaf spring, I assume that I should measure to split the spline travel to be in the middle?with the shackle being in the rear is going...

    New m1031 owner returning after several years

    6 inch on 37"s. I think the injection pump on this one might be varnished up as well.

    Injection pump woes I think

    I was unaware of the change on the governor ring. I think I will pull the cover give her a good soak tomorrow. I had never personally driven this truck before it went into storage, so I don't know if this symptom showed up after sitting.

    Injection pump woes I think

    Well, a flashlight inspection shows that it is leaking around the throttle shaft after today's drive. That and it also left a puddle in the garage. Looks like I'll be swapping pumps out this weekend. I have a 2829 4544 to install, and a spin-on filter adapter.

    Injection pump woes I think

    I will be sure to check those linkages tomorrow. I know which arm you are talkin about and never thought to check it.I do I had used a can of stanadyne additive that came with a reman pump that I bought several years ago. It seemed to be a very good product and I will be sure to give it a try.

    Injection pump woes I think

    I recently acquired an m1031. Unfortunately I inherited the truck from my father, and it had sat unstarted for several years. It started right up with two fresh batteries.I noticed right away that when letting off the throttle that the truck felt as if it was going to stall. It also felt like it...
