I have one on my old 6.2 plow truck. It was a GM option that was on a Pennsylvania Dept of Trans truck my father was parting out. The holes are already in the bottom of the dash to mount it. Sounds like what CUCVFAN was talking about. It attaches to the accelerator petal. I can get some...
I was surprised they went for 500-550 since they had surge brakes and 8X6.5 bolt pattern. I made my mind up I would bid more, but didn't make it home in time. They must not have gone into over time. Snooze and loose I guess.
Mine were all burned out, two in the back of the motor were stuck. It was this way when I purchased it. I bypassed the resistor asm on the fire wall and am just running the GPs on the front battery. The GPs looked like they were just replaced by the previous owner, but fried.
I picked up one of the OTC split nut style glow plug pullers. Worked great. I tried using vice grips and such and could not get 2 out of my M1008. The puller worked very good, they came right out. Can't beat strait steady even pulling action.
Snapped an axle shaft with one. I blamed the slamming engagement for that one. Replaced my entire differential with one from an older 1/2 ton truck (12 bolt) Had it lying around. Been working good since. The new axle also has Gov-Lok
Those freeze plug heaters are fun, I have a civi truck I am going out to the garage to remove the current freeze plug heater to replace. I worked at it one other day, didn't get it out. Really isn't any where to pry it out. Can't really push it into the engine block. I am making a hook to pull...
Shielding gas ? Must be too much welding on Saturday. I always run into that problem, the gas supply stores here are closed on Saturday as well as Sunday. Must be time for a back-up tank. M1009 looks good. -Al
Hello, I would like to know how to Identify the difference between the new improved filter base on the CUCV trucks and the old style base. I've been looking around and cannot seem to find it. I think I may have an old one. If you have an answer or a link that would be great. Thanks
Sounds like a good idea to replace the IP. I noticed my M1010 surged and didn't run too good without the restriction of the check valve. I think the check valve controls the ignition timing. I heard when the check valve plugs off completely the timing is advanced too far to the point the...
I learned the hard way, truck lost power and stopped running completely. First thought was replace the fuel filter. I did and it almost started, but did not. I did some research and found out about the retainer break down problem. I removed the check valve and used carb cleaner got some crud...
Better check the text book teach
Better check the text book teach, I have clean fuel to the IP. On 1985 and older 6.2's the Governor weight retainer ring breaks down when subjected to water in fuel or alcohol. I thought I could get by by cleaning the check valve and pulling the top of the...
check valve
It plugs up and then the truck will not run, at least that is the case on my M1010. I need to get around to changing that injector pump. :cry:
One thing to note - I am in the process of submitting my first EUC, I sent everything in and got an e-mail back that they don't accept faxed copies of your drivers license. It has to be a clear color copy emailed or sent via the snail to GL. I didn't see that anywhere on GL's website, but I may...
I am not familiar with the military trailer lights, I need to convert a 103 trailer to 12v so I can pull it with My M1008 is the 1156 a single filiment bulb or a double filiment bulb ? I think I have some 1157. Also will the pintle hook on the back of the M1008 fit the ring on the 103 ...
Thanks for the info, The axles that I know about right now are D44, one has has the older style large locking hubs (8 lug wheels) I think the truck was a 1975. The other one I think is a couple years newer with the 8 lug wheels and the 1/2 ton locking hubs. They are 4:10 ratio. I think my...
Good day, would a chevy 3/4 Ton Front axle bolt into a M1008 ? I know the spring perches on the rear axles are different. I did not hear or could not find any info on the front perches. I know the rotors and calipers, U joint, etc would be different. Mostly concerned about the perch width...
Hello, As far as the white smoke - I had a 6.2 diesel in a pickup that had not been driven on the road for about 10 years- When I put it on the road it smoked at idle so bad you could not stand to be around it. That was with a clean tank and all new fuel. I trailered it to an inspection shop...
