Yeah, my mistake. Googled the part number from the link vs the OP. $266 at auto tool dot com. No real help. Sorry Mr. Stang

Welcome to the site. Just googled it and the current advertised Tillman price for the J-39084-1 is about $71. I’d feel better with a picture of it but, anyway, here’s a screen shot

Christmas present from my wife... ...installed. Service Tecs asked, 'did you drop that diesel in there yourself?' "Yes, my brother 635 and I did the swap but, we didn't replace a gas motor, it came stock that way." "No, really?" Those of you with C/K 1500 understand that the struggle is real.

1996’s had them mounted on the firewall next to the Coolant bottle.

Drove to the Mesa Overlook north of Virgin UT. Nice little drive up 8% grade with great views all the way.

It’s not like the break in period rids the cylinder walls of the cross hatching either. When my heads were swapped out for P-400’s I had about 20K on the rebuild and the cross hatching was still present. The pictures weren’t the best so, not able to post up. FWIW, I broke my truck in pretty...

Maggie’s actually the ‘expert’ having a degree in Construction Management. The rest of have done this before but, really don’t KNOW what we’re doing.

Just about

Started with only a wisp of smoke that stopped immediately. Drove from SLC to Kingman with no smoke on restarts. Calling this one solved. Sunset overlooking Lake Mead’s surroundings. Narrow road (Pabco). BLM Rangers stopped traffic so a stolen car could be recovered What happens in Vegas...

I've been seeing some videos pop up lately of doing 'dry pour' with Ready Mix type stuff. Not sure about that. I've helped with some small projects but, nothing that needed any real quality type work. I'm just helping Chris (owner of the VW powered streamliner and Karmen Gia salt flat cars I...

Not much more than day-labor-helper stuff.

Just a little. We’re behind on the “water year” but, more snow starting tomorrow in the forecast and lasting through the weekend. Me, I’m loading up the truck and heading to Kingman AZ to help a friend pour concrete for his new work shop floor. Temps are up towards the 60’s and forecasted to...

The day started off pretty nice. Pulled #6 GP and it looked fine. Gave it 12v for a few seconds and, like all the others, lit up just fine. Removed the old harness and will keep it around for a little testing. Thinking 12v to the harness, inserting a GP into one connector at a time and...

The heat shield removal and harness threading technique is an old, tried and proven technique. Thanks for adding it to the thread. It’ll help others and now I don’t have to write it up later. I looked up the QS Exhaust Manifold Bolt kit (why isn’t it listed under ‘exhaust?’) and it looks like a...

Good progress but by no means done. Monday Removed the passenger side wheel and inner fender. Removed the #2, 4 and 8 glow plugs. No swelling, shortening, etc. This is what 8 and 2 looked like before putting 12v to them. Put battery power to them individually using vice grips on the hex and...

I appreciate the observation but, I’m going to disagree on all the above. Nothing is banging on anything else externally. These heads replaced the old units that did have valve issue and the issue existed before the exchange. I’ll check on a restart for anything pushing out the air cleaner...

Have been either sick, on the road or in a complete ‘screw it’ mood for the whole month. Decided to address the issues of the smoky start by replacing the glow plug wires with the new set from ZombieSolutions and to test the glow plugs themselves starting on the passenger side to get that...

Private tests on various glow plugs done in shop by Heath Diesel years ago. 10v power applied to the plugs with timers to see how long they lasted before failure. No name or ‘insta heat’ no name brands lasted maybe an hour or two at best. 60G plugs lasted a a day or so of continuous energizing...
