What additive did you gel on last year? Were you using bio diesel? How much kerosene did you add to a tank?

What kind of additive and the amount before it gelled? It takes a double dose of some additives when it approaches zero and below. Make sure to not use bio diesel. It attracts moisture. If kerosene or #1 diesel is available it is better for extreme cold. Truckers use to use 10% gas added to 90%...

All the small block chevy gas engines that I have worked on had smooth studs that screwed into water pump hub and then the pulley slipped on over them, then the fan clutch followed by a lock washer and nut. Real easy to assemble. Some of the big blocks had a longer stud bolt with lock washer...

He said old sensor was clicking off and on too.

You can install a helicoil in a damaged hole and it is better than new. Just do not go any deeper with the drill than the hole is already. This can be done without removing the head.

When buying one of these get the larger heavy duty version! Works a lot better on the stubborn break downs!

One of the GM part numbers is 1105500. Another number is 10459234. Original numbers for both sides.

All of the cucv's are made from 1984 parts. The military wanted them all the same. The year they were made is the only difference.

Actually changing the brushes and bushings and a few other items just to get a starter barely working is a "rebuilt" starter. It often has a few days warranty or none. It often works a while then fails. You might get a good one occasionally. A remanufactured starter is completely disassembled...

Frank there is a little envelope to the right of your user name in upper right hand corner of page. Click on envelope then click on show all conversations. Hope you find your address.

I would run some Seafoam added to the diesel thru it and see if it smooths out first. Seafoam or Power Service will clean out a lot of injectors.

Are you certain you have installed the correct diesel lift pump?

The rubber in harmonic balancers deteriorates with age whether they run or not. Just like the rubber in motor mounts and transmission and transfer case mounts. Running down the highway at full throttle and never changing a harmonic balancer do not go together on any vehicle the age of these...
