Hello...Glad to be back on the forum after a break...!
I'm hoping someone can give some install tips and suggestions. I'm looking to install a relay that's timed and controlled by a remote (like a car alarm fob) as a anti theft device. I would like to set it up so that in order to crank my...
I know this thread is a little old but just to let people know...Peninsular Diesel sells brand new plates that they are now having made. They run about $70.00 and are correct for the 6.2's in our M1008/M1009's. They are quite nice.
Hello all,
Does the orientation of the vacuum pump matter?
I had to rotate it out of the way to finally install (after all these years) the coolant plate with a temp gauge sending unit in the rear area of the passenger side head.
I was having a clearance issue so I rotated the pump so the...
Thanks all for the suggestions.
Both batteries were load tested and fine (they're also less than 3 years old... Interstate 6TL models). All contacts, battery terminals etc. are shiny clean and clamps are tight etc. All the basic stuff has been checked. There are no loose connections that I can...
M1009 Electrical Bizarro Problem - Need Guidance and help...!
Hello all,
I haven't posted in a while but I have been lurking a bit...:) I now have a major issue with my M1009.
This AM I went out to start her up...waited for the "wait" light to go out...turned the key...got a quick starter...
Hello All,
A quick question. What would be the preferred port on the Stanadyne FM100 filter head to put a fuel pressure gauge on?
Inlet into the filter head or outlet out of the filter head to the IP? With an electric fuel pump would you see accurate fuel pressure readings after the filter to...
A quick question...
If air is getting into the fuel filter assembly somehow would I see air bubbles in the fuel return line on the top of the injector pump?
Videos attached...IP Return Line
firefox thank you for the suggestion. I'm getting ready to order a spin on kit...:)
So...a small update. I went ahead and replaced the injector return lines and well as the line on top of the IP. I also cleaned the glass ball. Actually it was clean to begin...
***UPDATE***
So after have the truck flat-bedded home by the friendly AAA who said..."This thing is heavy"...I started going through the trouble shooting sections in the TM's and went out and checked a few things. During the course of checking to see whether fuel was present in the fuel return...
Help...Started up fine...Surged...no go...:(
Hello all,
I've been away from the forum for a while but...as usual once something happens that's not good with the M1009 I'm back...LOL.
I've been driving my M1009 regular for that last year and a half and it has been flawless. It fires up in the...
Ok...I have found the problem. In the end it was something very simple as I kept thinking..."what's happening electrically only when starting the truck cold"? Obviously the glow plugs cycling...right? Well...I had checked the relay and all the voltages more than once and all seemed good. I...
Well....it has been getting colder where I'm at now and after starting the output of the relay where it's distributed to the GP's shows about 14.4 volts as well but my system still does not do an "after glow" on and off cycle. I thought the controller card was supposed to do this but no go on my...
Thank you for the suggestions. I do have a replacement direct drive starter standing by....I just don't have the time right now to swap it out. I'm kind of afraid to go out there and crank it a bunch to see if it smokes...LOL.
Do you think the problem could be in the solenoid at all? I would...
