    Help me plan - better highway capability

    About a year ago I did see online someone was making and selling the TV cable bracket for the 6.2, sorry don't remember who.

    454 swap

    I believe the difference is just the rubber, same clam shell. But either can work.

    Capacitor question on alternator

    Back in the old days (kinda like this thread LOL) we would use any old condenser from when we changed the points and attach it to the alternator to kill the whine, IIRC sometimes to the radio itself. All the condenser does is 'leak' a little bit of power to ground and thus kills the whine, how I...

    Switched 12V Source for New Accessory Fuse Block

    I'd leave the stock system alone and go right off the battery. FUSED OF COURSE!

    Please help me figure out what’s wrong

    I had the same truck (without GV over drive ) and put a 700 R4 in so ended up about the same final ratio. 235/85/r16 tires are about 31.5" tall when new I needed new tire and went with what I believe was a 305 or 33" tire and never looked back. I didn't have a tach in that truck so no idea of...

    Continued Fuel system issues

    I'd do a test like AC said and or use a known good pump to supply the IP. If that works you know the problem is in the tank/lines/filter or the electric pump. Just a quick thought here, are you sure the electric pump is facing the correct way? Sounds stupid but ya never know, always check the...

    Center mount Turbo M1008

    Nows a hellve a time for me to think of it but, (don't ya just love that?) I reviewed this and wondered if you could gain the room needed by ditching the mechanical fan and clutch and going with an electric unit, that would give you quite a bit of room to move the engine forward several inches...

    Thoughts of future power plant 1009

    I've never changed one over but I don't see it being hard, One alternator and two batteries hooked in series and a few other things. Use the pink wire to the IP and move it to the distributor. Other that changing the starter I think even those wires can stay. Do away with the GP wires and I...

    My M1009 has died new curve ball thrown Updated

    And I'd like to add, no one likes to cross thread stuff and cross threading the fuel line is a real PIA. So instead of just hoping you have it lined up and going to town with it try holding it in place and turning it backwards, YES backwards counterclockwise at least one full turn, do that...

    Reinforcing m1009 rear bumper

    I think you might get away with what you have by extending the arm that goes to the hinge. Basically move everything to the left so the hinge is mounted at the 2 bumper bolts, that way you have the bumper reinforcement bracket to help and can 'beef' that up some. Failing that, an A frame mount...

    NV4500 questions

    Keep in mind that using an 85 and up flywheel will also require the 85 starter.

    Probably, if not I'm sure the price has gone up!

    13G vs 60G glow plugs

    Do you have AC in there? Or did the PO change out the bezel and do away with the black out light switches.

    13G vs 60G glow plugs

    Ouch! If it were mine and I wasn't going to convert it back to stock, then yes I'd opt for the 60s. I believe you will need to change the wire ends that clip to the GP's themselves, wait and check as it may already have been done. What lights are the 4 switches for? I hope not headlights!

    Dust cap for headlights - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 Diesel

    Is this something that slips over the wires and plug to kind of seal it to the back of the bulb or the headlight bucket?

    Won’t go past 55 mph and revs high while driving.

    Maybe fuel related, but the "revving real high" has me thinking other wise. Could it be in 2nd gear? Don't go by the PRNDL actually count the shifts.

    Power Steering Pump Question

    I usually jack up the front so the tires don't dig up the driveway and start turn lock to lock kinda slowly.

    Camo paint with white rims look good?

    Really? I don't need or want to hear that! I know 16.5s are thing of the past, but 16"? I haven't seriously looked but still see what seems to be a good selection.
