    6.5 Turbo reliability for an RV?

    I love My 2000 crew cab long box truck with the 4L80 and the 6.5 diesel, except when trying to get somewhere and the temps is over 100 degrees, the temp gauge is pegging about 220 and on the analyzer the temp is reading 217 through the ECM, not a fun day. A new radiator is going to be in the...

    What’s #15 mean?

    Look to see if both sides have the indicator facing down. If the indicator is facing up on one and down on the other, that just means that one indicator is for forwards motion and the other is for reverse motion. :33::happy175::happy175::happy175::happy160:

    The oil pan is next to pull, then the oil pump, check the gears in the pump to see how much debris it has eaten. :banghead:

    '82 Diesel Dually on CL in California

    Yeah, would not cost 500 bucks to put it back on the road over here in Montana. It`s hell to be so broke. That right there is the truck of My dreams. I think the 3+3 stands for how many people can comfortably set and ride in the truck. I think they should have called them a 4+2 for how many...

    Gasket

    I usually use a deep well socket a little larger than what the foot print is of the bolt head on the oil pan or rocker arm covers, timing chain cover and clamp that socket in a vice. Set the pan on the socket onto the area of the bolt hole and tap them back flat again. A piece of flat bar steel...

    New gaskets will be fine, long as You flatten out around the bolt holes.

    Radiator overflow nipple broken.. options?

    If You do not have the nipple that came out of the neck, go to a recycler, most of those was all the same diameter, take along a torch and remove one from a old radiator, I am sure a recycler would let You have that for free. Take that home and warm it up, wire bruch the crap off of it, then...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    Take them heads to a shop that does heads, get them cleaned up and magna flux tested for cracks. I believe, if it were Mine engine, I would send them injectors over to Blue Ox and have him test them, and, balance them while He is at it. I have never seen brass like that caused from any kind of a...

    HEI Distributor - Do I need to replace any of these parts?

    I always used the very lightest lithium grease I could find, and not a whole lot of it. On the weights base, the portion with the posts, there will be a couple of raised up portions that the weights rest and ride on, give those a light coating too. The advance plate can also bind on the shaft...

    HEI Distributor - Do I need to replace any of these parts?

    You can tell if the distributor is functioning. Remove it from the engine, place it in a vice, with the coil cover and the sparking plug wires removed, hook up a ground wire between the distributor and a battery neg terminal, then, hook a wire between the distributor + terminal and the battery...

    Horn doesn't work and when trying, headlights turn off

    Why not just clean the grounding wires between the rad support and the grounding wire, or, add another ground wire from the radiator support to the same grounding bolt as what the battery is attached to on the engine ? Or at least try a jumper wire fron the rad support to the battery ground...

    Considering a M1008 Cucv.... Thoughts

    The fuel shut off solenoid on the military vehicles is 24 volt so that would need to also be changed out. Along with the starter.

    Considering a M1008 Cucv.... Thoughts

    Come to think of it, a separate circuit can be run from one battery to power anything that is 12 volts. If wires are hooked to the positive and a wire to the negative of one battery then the 12 volt items can be powered. Just have to disconnect those items from the 24 volt system.
