I didn't know I could swap switches, I swapped the whole pump. I figured about the NO starting fluid thing because I've read some other threads in here by a few different people saying that. To fire it up we usually crack the injector lines where they meet the injectors and crank until fuel...

I went ahead and pulled the motor back out, switched the flywheel and everything went back together as it should. When you say to put my IP in the exact same spot on the newer motor as it was on the older motor, is that for the timing? IIRC the timing is supposed to be set a smidgin to the...

Whats the easiest way to switch em? As far as I can tell we can either pull the motor back out (or just pull it forward enough to get the bolts off) or slide the tranny back but that might be harder to do because we can't figure out how to detach the drive train. On the tranny note, does that...

Welp, I ran into a problem now. We had the tranny bolts in place and tightened, but the fly wheel bolt holes won't line up to the torque converter bolt holes. We tried turning the flywheel but the holes still won't line up. It appears the fly wheel needs to go up or the torque converter needs to...

not sure about the one with the vacuum switch, but I know the one with electric wires does.

I switched the spade ones for the square ones I had. I'll probably just keep them for extra parts. Now I have all kinds of extra parts, I'm not sure though what to do with the old motor. I want to keep it to find out what the original problem was, but realistically it would just sit there for 5...

My IP has only 2 wires. Is TPS throttle position sensor? Do you think the vacuum switch IP is worth any money? We did finally get the newer 6.2 motor in their, after only 7 hours, 4 of which were spent on 2 motor mount bolts that were pretty crabby...hahaha...but the hard parts done. All we...

forgot to put pictures

I think my tranny is TH400, I have D-1-2 plus overdrive. I went ahead and switched the IP anyways. But the first two pictures are the unknown one and the third picture is the one I'm going to use. Then the forth picture is the newer motor (newer to me anyways) and the last picture is the no good...

Well I finally got my new motor today. All I had time to do was get the old one out. But I was looking at the new one (actually the used one from boyces) and on the side of the injection pump is a little black box looking thing with a black hose coming off and going to the flying saucer (don't...

haha...unfortunately I'm almost broke. But ya I'll just try it out then and see.

I wonder if a CUCV 6.2 has the standard water pump or if it's an upgraded version due to the "military" edition. If not do you still think it's not worth the money to get a better water pump seeing's how I tow a smaller trailer for work everyday? I don't even know what a better water pump...

Ah ok. I thought you said that one was too thick. Thanks. So I guess the problem is the cheaper belts just stretch easily from all the diesel vibrations and cheaper material? I thought I was going to have to find a belt with something like a metal band around the inside or something like that.

So then the napa premium belt would be the way to go?

I use mine for a work truck so I do toe a smaller trailer every day. It's a 10' enclosed utility trailer, usually filled with tools and drywall. I think it weighs around 3500 lbs, but I will pull it every day. I'm not sure though if that's enough to make the truck produce more heat to need to be...

Something else I was thinking about was the cooling system. Since, from what I understand, it's a very crucial element to engine longevity and safety I think if I could make a few changes (simple and low cost) that would make the cooling system more efficient my motor would be better off. I was...

I wasn't sure if I should start a new thread for this but I suppose it would be easier to find if anyone else has the same issues. The problem is my alternator belt stretches fairly quick. I've tightened it so many time I actually stripped the threads in the alternator and had to buy a...

Well I should get the motor sometime next week. Ended up being 1150 including delivery. I'm getting kind of excited, so I guess I'll play the waiting game now.

I was talking to a guy at boyces earlier and he did say that the only thing that was 24v was the starter and glow plugs. He said the motors came out of a 84 - 87 K3500 Chevy 1 ton. Sorry for all the questions, but Aces you said if it has the 24v glow plugs I need to change the ESO? I looked...
