I've been looking for a 6.2 K30 for a while and came across a M1008. It has a rust free Georgia body and 50,000 miles. I crawled all over it and the only non-minor problem I found was colapsed front shackles with flattened springs which gave it severe DW (It was being used as a plow truck). the owner didn't want to lower his price of $3,900 so I walked away. a week later he calls me and has fixed every thing I found wrong, new springs, bushings, shackles, etc. I'm going back to take it for another drive.
a couple questions:
This would be my work truck, toy hauler etc. I don't plan to lift it or increase the tire size. I've been playing with the ratios on a rpm calculator, what is the maximum sustained rpm for a 6.2 for atleast 30min highway?
I only got to work on these for about a year before they were replaced with humvees in my unit. on the firewall of this truck someone has installed an aftermarket spin-on fuel filter, I don't see any signs of a water seperator, wouldn't this cause problems? my memory might be a little rusty.
The only leak of any kind was from the front main seal, it was enough to make the front of the pan wet but nothing else. common - uncommon - easy fix?
got a couple more questions but I gotta go to work.
thanks in advance
