Those lines from Badger Diesel are great. They will leak or at least seep if you don't do a square cut and push them all the way on. After about 10 times pulling an end of and putting it back on. Cut off the last 1/2 inch or so and all will be good again.

I just got an email from a guy who does not get on the internet much. He is looking for a NP200 transfer case for his M37. He is part of the re enactment at the show. Anybody have one for sale, that can give it a ride to the Rally and how much? Thanks.

I have had my M715 on the Gilmer trails. Except for the wooded section in the back, a M35 would be a blast out there.

Let them cycle twice and if all is working right, the white smoke should go away. The longer you crank on a cold engine, the more white smoke you will get when it fires.

Without more information, it is hard to pin point exactly what is wrong. Do the obvious. Check all grounds, especially the one on the parking brake housing up under the dash. Check the big plug on the bottom of the steering column, that is the blinker wiring connector. Of course, checking...

Again, warm it up and check the fluid with the truck on a level surface and the engine running. If you got it full, then it is full. If you need to add, remember the hash marks on the stick are 1 pint apart, not 1 quart like the engine oil.

The transmission fluid needs to be checked with the fluid at operating temperature and the engine running. It normally takes 2 gallons to fill it back up after dropping the pan and changing the filter on the transmission. If you add fluid and then check it right away, you will get a false...

Sorry about the 1987 wrong ID. I was thinking fuel injection for gas engine change over which did happen in 1987 for Chevy

4 door trucks, Suburbans and full size Blazers didn't change in 1987 like the rest of the GM truck line did.

The Olds 5.7 gas and diesel engines were not the same block. This is a website dedicated to the 5.7:http://a350diesel.tripod.com/story.html They did use some of the same parts though. Such as the starter motor. As pointed out above, the 6.2 was a total ground up diesel design. The IP on the...

Whatever you do, don't call him. He doesn't listen to his voice mail. Instead, he calls the number back around 0100 or so asking who you are and why you called him. Maybe he just does that to mess with me. I don't know but I figured a warning was in order.

The manifolds only let you leave them with a 2" OD pipe. Look at your stock pipes. They swell out after leaving the manifolds to 2.25. I am using a set of M1009 manifolds on a HMMWV can engine in my M715. This week is the start of building the exhaust system. All I had is the manifolds. I...

Depending on who shows up driving what, we could have upwards of 5 M715's there. There are a bunch of us around the area.

Aside from your charging problems. How long do you crank the engine to get it to start up each time? The thread written by me and linked to a post up happened because my ALT 2 was bad. I drove the truck while figuring out the problem for weeks and only charged the rear battery at most once a...

Explode, no. I had a swollen one a month ago on a project engine. I put power to it, it started to glow right next to the threads and then POP. A blast of smoke came at me and a hole developed on the tip just past where it was glowing red.

20 seconds is too long. Change out all 8 and hold them on no more than 8-10 seconds. Leave them off for about 10 seconds and do it again if you think you need more heat, but don't leave them on that long. When you take your old ones out. Use some jumper cables and a frest battery to...

Thanks for posting this up John. We will keep you in our prayers.

For sure on the 60G's. The reason is the 60G plug is self regulating. If it gets too hot, it will turn off and then back on again. The theory being it won't burn itself up and it won't swell so much it can't be removed from the head. Wellman plugs don't do that. They just heat up until they...

Glad you didn't take offense about the BT comments. I have run into the same thing when looking for parts. Here is the tip off for me. The owner of the local race engine machine shop has a bone stock 6.2 in his daily driver truck. He heard me pull in with my 6.2 powered Suburban and came out...
