I think it would depend on the size of your slide shaft. I do realize the ones that will be swollen are probably #5 and #7 which means you can't do much. That situation I think needs the real tool or maybe a vice grip to let a pry bar grab onto. My back up idea to the one used was to take a...

The air tools don't really help much in this case. Only about half the manifold bolts aren't studs with injector lines, fuel lines or something like that on them that need to be moved out of the way. Then of course, none of the IP mounts, injection lines or timing gear fasteners can be done...

There are several glow plug removal tools on the market. Searching through thread about this subject also brings up some home made solutions. One thing all methods have in common is that they don't always work. Sometimes the plugs do break off and the injector has to be removed so the pieces...

Brake theory time. Fluid pushed by the master cylinder piston moves pistons in each wheel cylinder. The master can only push so much fluid per push of the pedal. The pistons in each wheel cylinder are pushed back by the brake shoe springs. If you have a large gap between the shoes and the...

A few people fully remove all the injection lines to get the pump out. That is not needed though. Follow the directions in the -20 and it will take 2-4 hours. Most of that time difference is getting the 3 bolts for the gear out and back in. If you have somebody to turn the crank while you...

Going back to original question since we can argue about how much starting fluid it takes to launch a 6.2 head into space forever. Yes, if it is hot enough outside and you have really strong batteries and a starter that turns the engine over really, really fast. A 6.2 can be started cold with...

As pointed out in this thread, there are two basic ways to use the can for engine running. Cut a hole for the starter or move the rear cross member back. I moved mine back and just put in longer bolts with some nuts as spacers. Either way works great.

A few things I have learned that might help others. If you don't have anything besides an engine hoist to pick up the can, you can't put it on the ground. The hoist legs are in the way. Jack stands at the outter corners of the stand will allow most engine hoist to roll out from underneath...

You are supposed to have about 2" of pedal travel before you get any pressure build up. If you are getting more, then you probably need to adjust your brake shoes. The -20 manual calls it a "minor adjustment and it is real easy. Jack up an axle, spin a tire and using an 11/16" wrench on the...

Solid state flasher box or the older style? If solid state, I will send you the best in my opinion wiring diagram for knowing which pin goes to what wire on systems with the solid state box and newer arm.

Mark, As I'm sure you two know. The brake like power comes from the 3 lever and then goes back. I have had several 3 levers that don't work on that circuit. Try connecting the leads at the brake switch before you condemn the switch.

What kind of truck? M1009 I would check the shoe adjustment, rear brake hose, proportioning valve under the radiator and the rear wheel cylinders for not being stuck or frozen up. M1008, M1028, M1010 or M1031 I would suggest the above plus the load sensing valve under the bed. There is also...

A lot of people have added a very true statement to their signature lines. "If it is rubber replace it and if it is electrical, clean it. It sounds like the ground attached to the parking brake pedal could be bad, you could have dirty fuse holders and a wire could be shorting to ground...

You mention that this is your first vehicle to do repairs on. You also seem to be jumping all over the place on what you are trying and finding. Then your truck has what seems to be a pretty complex alternative fuel system on it. I am guessing that you bought it that way or had somebody do...

Civilian trucks don't have the same sensor.

I just looked. Same here with the reducer between the head and the sensor. Look on your pull out part and remove it.

The ones I have done required about 30-45 seconds total of cranking. I would crank 5 seconds or so, let it sit for a few minutes and repeat. I really do think your on/off solenoid might be not working correctly though based on what you have written.

No, that winch won't be bothered at all by all that salt water. My question is do the head lights really help under water?

Put a rubber glove over the lid of the paint gun cup. Hold a rag over the nozzle and pull the trigger. That will inflate the glove, mix the paint and give you a good indication of how much paint you have used as the glove deflates as you go. No paint will drip out either. I painted a M1010 a...

The video of your light going off and on along with your 13.6-14.4 range with the engine running. Say voltage regulator to me . However, did you check the big plug at the firewall, check the ground strap for GEN 1, all the connections on all 3 firewall connections areas plus your battery...
