Guys, I am obviously not the mechanic I thought I was. I took off the old fuel pump and went to put another one on. I can not get the new one to get back on. I read a little bit and saw that there is a push rod from the cam shaft over to the pump. I can not seem to get it to move even by...

@cucvnut: Will check the return valve tomorrow. Thanks. @jeeplvr246: I am hoping it is just fuel. The mechanic has me worried. He told me the 6.2 was junk and I should go for a 350. At least he was honest in saying he did not know diesels.

Guys, I have searched through the forums but I am not sure if this is the same as several of the others. Last week when driving to work, the truck lost power and died at a light in town. It would restart and I drove it for about another mile and it died at the next light. I got it out of the...

Awesome. Hope mine looks as good someday.

When I did that I had a bulb that fit in the back of the voltmeter.

After a little more inspection, it appears that the relay was loose where it mounts. Does the relay ground through this connection?

When I tried to start the M1009 this morning, I heard a click under the dash. First thing I did was start to search the forums. Thanks for all the good information out on the forums here. I started with cleaning grounds and battery connections. That did not fix it. So I tried to find the relay...

Guilty. I just got my M1009 from a guy. He had changed the oil and the fuel filter. I have almost 1000 miles in 3 weeks. I have not read the TMs. I guess my next steps should be change the transmission fluid/filter and changing the belts. Is that the right things to go after next?

I would like to thank all of y'all for the help. After working on it most of the day. I would say that ever connector I took apart were corroded to some extent. I used a lot of contact cleaner, a lot of dielectric grease and several pieces of steel wool. I cleaned all the grounds near the fuse...

That is part of the problem. I did not remove the ground when working on the blower fan. What exactly does this do to the rest of the electrical system?

Just got my first M1009. I have got several electrical problems going on. Nothing too major at first. I created more somehow trying to replace the blower motor for the heater. Somehow when I replaced the motor I blew the 20A fuse for the heater circuit as well as the 30A fuse in the head light...
