bypass resistors? The original glow plug system is still intact on this truck. In fact, I installed a new card, solenoid, wait light bulb, and AC delco OE plugs about 5 years ago. They cycle on and off just like they're supposed to. I did also install a glow plug manual override switch (with...

That is what I was figuring is the issue. I didn't have a vacuum pump, so instead I filled the little bowel where the pressure sensor was with water-soap mixture, and pressurized the line. Didn't see any bubbles or anything, thought it was good to go. I then filled it with the right stuff. I'm...

Hey all, thought I would post a quick update. Since my last post, we've driven the truck about... 100 miles, over several local trips to town etc. Have a couple issues: *Still have white smoke coming out the passengers exhaust on cold start after sitting overnight. Which again the...

Well, this is the sensor in the drivers side head, but at the radiator end (not firewall end)?

Will Check it today, will report back. Going to try to finish wiring the gauges, and then take it for a drive. EDIT: Seems to idle smooth by the way. I am going to have to replace the temp sensor in the front end of the drivers side head, as the blade got broke off somehow. Can't remember if...

Ok, well I got everything buttoned up, except for the oil pressure gauge and temp gauge. I did get the block off plate on the passengers side head modified, and I put the temperature gauge sending unit in there. I'll post a couple photos of it tomorrow, although it's not much to look at...

Yeah no kidding... hope it fights just as hard to stay running

Nice Looking engine... I really wish I had pulled this engine when i first started, if I had to do it over (Which I Pray that I Never Do) I would pull the engine before doing anything else.

Ok guys, wanted to post an Update. Good News: It did finally bleed the air out... Ken you are correct, I didn't have the pink wire on for a bit, for some reason I was thinking it had to be taken off... until I got to thinking about the solenoid shut off valve, its not going to open without...

well... so far I have plenty fuel, with no air, to the filter (when the vent was open)... but we have not seen a drop come out the injector lines. I've got all glow plugs pulled, and have all injector lines loose, with one line completely off, yet we haven't seen a drop of fuel. And we've...

Well, if I had an extra regular block off plate, I could probably make one myself. I don't want to really try it with the original block off plate, as if I screw it up, then I won't be able to run the truck. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I think I can make the whole plate... Its...

I had thought about getting another threaded block off plate before. Guess I should have stuck with that idea. I'll change my wanted ad and see what I can find. Thanks

well, I guess the most accurate would be in the head? There just isn't any more ports open. Could I pull one of the other sensors, like the glow plug temp sensor or ?, and put it in the this pipe and then install my temp gauge sending unit where it was, and get a more accurate temp? I...

Hey guys, will this coolant crossover tube fit the 6.2L? It looks like it will. Someone sent me these pics, it is supposed to be from a HMMWV. I want to add a port for the the temperature gauge sending unit.

no I didn't crank the injectors. I didn't think you had to on these engines... guess thats why it didn't fire. Thanks for the info Ken, I'll try that next time after I get this fuel leak fixed...

I was just reading your posts about this on someone elses thread. Any particular way to tell if it is this switch that is leaking? Looking at it with the filter on, when its leaking it seems to be coming from somewhere in the lower 1/3 of the filter, as i can see some wet on the side, but...

Finally got everything buttoned back up... again... I got fuel to the filter, but now when you stop cranking the engine, the fuel filter housing starts leaking... A steady quick drip until the pressure leaks off. I pulled the new filter and fuel went everywhere as it was under pressure... I...

I tried to look up the napa part number for the rear main seal, which is listed here on SS as being: FPGBS40529. The closest napa to me is about 60 miles or so. So I tried to cross it at o'reilly, but nothing comes up. I did find this one on Amazon, which appears to be the right one, fel-pro...

I'd like to tap your knowledge/experience and get your guys opinion... again :mrgreen: The oil pan did not have a gasket, just rtv on it. It had several very small leaks, but I wasn't worried about it before, as the valve cover leaked much more. Anyway, already cleaned the pan and block of...

Sorry, didn't see this until just now. I sincerely Appreciate the offer Cucvrus, I really do. But... german m1008 said he had the same issue. The length of the rod is dead on. its just the width. And no matter what part supplier you look up, they all show the same .499" width size for...
