I am definitely going to keep a close eye on those starter bolts

I was able to exchange the starter for a different one and also get a bracket from Boyce and all I have to say is they were fantastic to deal with and went the extra mile and the guys down there are very personable and I even stuck around and chatted a bit with them before I left. The starter...

Would it be worth getting the gear reduction starter over the direct drive one? I am going to call Boyce and see about maybe exchanging the one I got for one with the gear reduction and maybe even a bracket to go with it but I am diffidently going to pick up those ARP Starter bolts. I will let...

Oh man that is actually terrifying I definitely was not running around with a bracket the whole time I have owned it so I will count myself as lucky for sure, I am fairly certain the starter I took off was a gear reduced starter and the one I got from Boyce was for sure the direct drive starter...

I think that I may redo my work on it and utilize the fusible link and thankfully I still have it, you don’t think that that wire above will have a problem with the draw? Also what does this bracket for the starter look like because i definitely don’t remember having one and or seeing it on the...

I used 6 gauge wire for the Glow plug relay and routed it from the glow plug relay to the front battery post to supply the 12 volts required to power the glow plugs. I have not replaced the starter relay I stopped by Boyce equipment and got a used one from out in their yard so condition unknown...

Thank you guys for the comments back on the issue I was having with my M1008, I hooked up my glow plug relay directly to the battery and the video really helped me visualize how I was going to do it so I really appreciate you sourcing that video. So far so good on it and it runs smooth and there...

So it has been a week or two since I last posted about the problem I was having with the crank no start, I decided to go after the glow plug system. I ended up also finding that my starter was very very un happy with my cranking and with time I guess it just decided it was fed up with the abuse...

That is a really good tip and saves some money as far as the removal process for them, I did not know if the tool was a must have or rather made the job easier. I am really hoping and praying that I do not have to remove any injectors to fish out any broken glow plug bits and pieces. Still might...

Okay good to know I do not know if I want to replace the lift pump and then try and fire it up before I do the glow plugs because from what it sounds like there are diffidently some that are toast at this point from what it sounds like, but if I had to put money on it I would say that it has a...

I really appreciate the compliment about the post being written up so well, I really tried to be thorough and be as specific as I possibly could if not to help with the diagnosis and guidance to finding the solution but also to help any others who may be experiencing or going to experience this...

I have recently had some issues with my M1008 being hard to start, I will go through and explain all the procedures I have gone through to diagnosing my problem thus far and maybe some incite can be given for what to do next. But first I may as well lay out what my problem started out with in...

I’m in

Thank you all for your help I really appreciate the insight and help with getting a title squared away, I had not heard of a bonded title before! Got all the paperwork together and now I have to fork out the time to get down to the DMV and spend some time waiting in line.

I ended up picking up that m101a2 and it towed home 3.5 hours home very well, thank you all for your insight here is a quick picture I got! I will get more pictures come morning too see if I got a good deal or not or to see if there are any concerns from what you all can see that I should address
