I have had the same issues Andy. Just be glad the solenoid is not contacting instead of sticking on.

I have a pulse adaptor for a timing light that works by clamping onto the injector metal line. I have found it has to be on a straight section of line, not even near a bend. How the ground clip is attached and how far from the clamp makes a difference as well. Calling Tiny Tach does seem like...

I have done enough IP replacements that I really wasn't looking forward to the sore arms and shoulders that result from doing one arm pushups for a few hours. So I built up a nice thick row of seat cushions on the valence. It worked great. Except, now my ribs hurt. Oh well, the IP and...

Thank you again for collecting such a good set of injectors Joe. I agree about not being able to do all of this while I built the engine and truck up. However, I couldn't afford to. Plus, I now know more about the way a pump can go bad, ip timing and hopefully, will be able to say how much...

The "boss" or rather dad/owner of the injection place called me last week. He apologized several times that it wasn't done yet. Then he asked me what I meant by "4911 settings" on the ip calibration. I explaned what I had and what it was in. He was kind of hesitant talking until then. Once he...

Yes on the motor mounts.

Yes, the Gen IV sure fit for the non a/c Chevy trucks.

Wrong side of the country, but ABLinn in NC had a few M60 chassis and engines sitting around the last time I was at his place. He was getting close to selling out for retirement and that has been a few years. Maybe a source for a spare parts stash.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. This comes up a good bit and several threads have been written about it in the past that cover all the details. Basically, any stock square body truck a/c system will work. You will have to move some things around on the firewall and figure out a way to mount the...

Another Gasser owner chiming in with it sounds normal. I found on 90° plus days that 48 mph on the highway was the happy speed engine temperature wise. Pulling a heavy load in the heat 42 in 4th and around 35 in 3rd seemed to be the right rpm to keep moving and below 200°. Having to floor...

They are good boxes. We just never see them around here.

Umm, I typed that using paragraphs and everything. Let me try and edit some.

The Cowdog is up to 3,000 miles now. I had an oil leak at the front of the engine that I traced back to the turbo oil return hose. I ended up buying a foot of the stuff online and just replacing what came with the Banks kit. Their instructions say it is a silicone 3/4" hose. But, the blue turbo...

As stated above, lots of "if this, then" stuff to tie all together. If running U-joints for the front drive shaft, then setting the front yoke at the same angle as the output on the transfer case is what you want to do. That will give you a 6° to 7° positive front caster angle on an open...

If you put the valve cover upside down on the edge of a wooden bend. With the bolt holes against the bench. Then put a ball peen hammer in the bolt hole and hit that with another hammer. It will bend the holes so they are "up" just a bit when you go to bolt it all back together. Every little...

While the 1 ton truck frame is supposedly a hair thicker than the M1009 frame. Once you are done doing surgery, it might not end up stronger or straighter. I like the suggestion above. Get a M1009 or a short box GM truck and just transfer over all the good M1008 items. Lots easier and...

Do you want to keep the truck stock or thinking of a lift down the road? If lift has crossed your mind, then that is your fix. If wanting to stay stock, there seems to be a thread or two a week by people doing lifts on M1009 trucks. Pm them about their take out springs. For sure direct fit...

The M715 pressurized the engine, transmission, transfer case and axles with the fording kit. Engine blow by was the source of the air. The brake master, fuel pump and igniter were all sealed and vented to the air intake. The TM says to pull the lever and wait for the transmission shifter boot...

Every suggestion I have has been mentioned above. I am sure if it is like your previous books, articles and post on here. Where in one instance you posted the memo about how the REO cab was made to work with the 5 ton trucks, and why. Details like that, how the gas 2.5 ton and the gas 5 ton...

Are you getting blue/white smoke out the exhaust while cranking? That means there is fuel, but no heat. No smoke of any kind normally means no fuel.
