EGR takes a lot of Power .... so I prefer the J Code. I am already restricted in Germany of environment areas where this old Dieselengines not allowed to pass if Emissions this forced. I could try to got the german historical vehicle licence (more than 30 years after build) but this have also...

Thanks for Information. Find this 135 HP on offered military trucks in advertisments in Germany. The correct engine specifications can be see in the official car documents on the VIN Number. Usually not shown in the advertisments.

Hi all, since I am looking around the M1008 found I different information about the HP. I thought only one version of 6.2 Diesel 115 KW / 156 HP and TH400 automatic transmission like ours. But I heard now often about 135 HP for that engine on the M1008. What is the difference? Or is it a false...

Didn't know this. Thanks for that Info. Another solution would be to got doorcovers in same color. The decision must not do today as before start in this job have to be done the technical work at all. I must confess that I never expected so much small failures on the system after longtime storage.

Sorry I missunderstood that. I would not paint the dashboard cover. It is in good condition. I had never seen a good dashboardcover or pad finish on paint, that means not that it is impossible. We colored only metalsheets and if necessary does we replace the dashboardcovers. Usually replacing...

... Good advice of the sliding window - physics should not been ignored (y) The seat back ist also still good, but will done both to got same material and same color. I know about the hard work for a good finish in painting. We will not do painting ourself - like the red color will it be done...

Hi all, next I have to think about is of the seats. The cover ist available but i don't want just cover new as the pad under cover is also in weak condition. And i want it a bit more "solid"... specially the edge will be claimed all time hardly. I think everyone know what i mean :D So i guess...

So all done with parts we have here, now waiting for the postman...... bringing us the glow plugs to go on Thats the reason why the Chevy will be almost now only the 3rd car on service for us. We need cars which be always ready to go and not waiting for replacement parts... Unfortunately the...

Engine is overhauled, so compression is good. And as all is changed on the Fuelsystem out of the injector pump... The US-Car-Shop what i phoned for the injector Pump controll and adjustment told me: usually there is no other adjustment necessary as the markings during fitting. Maybe the long...

Hi, beside the glowplug and controller problem is there another thing after overhaul the engine. It have in cold engine temperature a very loud "combustion noise" in germany we call this typical "Diesel-Nageln" . i don't know the right term in english, lit is louder as usually. I know that...

could clean it up so i can go on about solving the glow problem and see which unexpected other failure will appear.....

After the situation of glow plugs we took a sight inside with an endoskop (going in during injektor hole) Seems we have before bodyworks a job to do on the engine....

For us it is now the second time where the controller goes down. Something we should thought about for the future. All around starts to change on the manually glow, so it seems to work. I am still not sure what we will do. Starting in the next holiday time a measurement around the electrical...

Thanks I found that threads this morning and it helps to understand more of the function. Still waiting on some parts before I can go on with solving that problem.

M1008 (German Licence declare it as GMC Truck/Coach USA CD30903 LKW offener Kasten) 1.11.1985 US Army Germany with 45000 Miles and some bumps of rough using but out of bullet holes :D=> 10.10.1996 bought and now 36 years old and since 25 years in our hand Gone in a long time storage of 15...

Seems to be a good option - maybe one or two starts out of card and changing anything will not damage. How do you connect this? We done several tests with the defect controller before we could figure out the problem. At least we found of this damaged glowplugs (13G) - a failure what is...

I don`t want blame you for not fixing anything. I wonder if it works as I thought about the same to do .... but as I had informed me about that way did i found a lot of different opinion in this case and so i decided not to do because i fear damage of a wrong performance. As there ist a car shop...

Just remove the card can result in hardly problems as there are serveral things which involved by the card. Did you modificate something and work all good in this condition? We expected before storage the coming down of the card as we needed two times before the engine started. The same symptom...

Hi, is there anybody who can tell me why owners may change from the glow plug controller to manually glow system? What ist the advantage? After the controller now is broken the second time and no more new one are available in Germany I start to think about that issue again. I was really happy...
