That comes down to what you want to do with the truck. The 208 works great in all but the few 205 equipped CUCV's out there.

I can see the pictures now. Couldn't earlier when I replied. That hitch you have looks very substantial, tied into the frame at the rear and secured to the body in front of the fuel tank. Similar hitches are available for my E39 BMW Touring with higher weight ratings that I listed for the...

I am not able to see your pictures. I also don't know exactly what you mean by Hacken trailer coupling. If you mean the stock pintle hitch. Then, no it is not bolted to the frame cross member. (The CUCV trucks did have it bolted to the frame with great strength.) It is very lightly bolted in...

That shouldn't be the issue then. Pulling the return line check valve and making sure it isn't full of gunk would be a good way to verify it isn't coming apart inside already though.

How old is your injection pump? My first 1009 had a miss at idle. I did the injectors hoping for a positive change but didn’t get it. A Rebuild of the IP cured all my ills. If yours is more than 10 years since a known rebuild I would suggest that as your next step. Assuming head gasket health...

Think nice thought when working with the solid state box. One electron misplaced normally causes the box to die.

Interesting new automotive trivia. Neat. Once you pick out which bulbs you want to use. Then the fun task of installing them comes along. If you or your son is a contortionist. With small fingers and a high pain threshold. Just reach back in there and swap the bulbs out. I like to pull the...

Try removing the fuel cap and running it. It could be a fuel tank venting problem. Otherwise, I would suggest following the steps in the -20 manual trouble shooting section exactly.

Welcome to the M1009 world. Those bolts are always a pain. I have gotten to where I will try one once. Then just break out the drill and do an upper body work out.

Sorry I messed up the year thing. I have used 1984 K5 for truck stuff and 1985 K30 for engine, transmission and transfer case when looking for civilian parts. I inverted them by accident.

The engine number is on the drivers side of the "shelf" the transmission bolts to. Find the oil pressure sender at the back of the engine and look down. It is between the peak of the triangle and the upper most driver side transmission bolt.

Any auto parts store will sell you a 1985 k5 blazer fan switch. You need to pull the gauge bezel off to replace it. I would highly suggest you undo all of the battery terminals before starting this job. The lugs on the back of the volt meter are hot and will probably touch the metal surrounding...

When I rebuilt my GEP 6500 I looked into which style of rocker arm was best. Here is what I came up with: Cast iron expensive to manufacture Audable noise Bushing can wear Shaft can wear I could not find a single incident of failure with the engine running resulting in a broken engine...

I have no Banks kit for sale, have not advertised one for sale and have not been talking with anyone about selling anything on this forum. Either you have your usernames mixed up or are getting scammed.

Glow plugs are only needed to start the engine if the internal engine temperature is below 160°. After that how the engine runs is dependent on the injection pump timing, air filter, fuel filter, compression health, idle speed setting and injection pump health. Have you tried turning the idle...

Yes, you can push the throttle while cranking.

The alternator will be your tach source through something like the Dakota Digital converter.

The above listing of a ground sequence is why I wrote about how the coolant wire doesn't ever get within a few feet of the IP power wire yesterday. I think you will end up finding a messed up thru firewall plug pin or two, some wires missing insulation that are touching or since you mentioned...

The oil pan will be fine. The exhaust manifolds will fit inside the frame rails. You will have to run a serpentine belt or change the water pump to run V belts. Other than that, it will be the same fabrication required to add the GM turbo the 6.2 was going to require.

The wire for that sensor runs with the headlight wiring around the front of the truck. The pink wire that turns on the Injection pump comes down the valve cover and over the rear of the engine. Basically, they don't come within a few feet of each other. So, the level sensor shorting out the...
