It sounds like it is cranking just fine. I may throw the spare rebuilt starter in it and see what it does. Thanks guys!

We checked all that the first time. We didn't get a chance to test them with the Ohm meter till last night.

Well, we tested the glow plugs with an Ohm-meter, and they read 1 Ohm, which would indicate that they are good. Something else is causing this. Lincoln

Well the glow pulgs are on a manual switch. Guess I should have mentioned that...

Well fellas, I have quite a dilemma. The rig will not easily start on her own without help from a tiny shot of ether. Till it gets the shot, it cranks and cranks and puffs white smoke, but wont fire. After the tiny shot, it runs fine and starts fine until it cools down. We are thinking it has...

That's also what I thought, so today, I took the old starter out, and put the nearly new one out of the parts Blazer in. It still did the same thing, so I am hoping its my batteries. Lincoln

Thanks guys. I had planned to check my ground tomorrow and I will be sure to test the batteries under load as well.

Hey guys. I have quite a dilemma with the ole M1009. She has been progressively getting harder to start. Now she hardly turns over at all; very very slowly. Not nearly fast enough to even think about starting the engine. First, we thought it was the batteries, tested them and they were both spot...

I have been slaving for several hour on this shock. There is very little space between the mount and the fuel tank, the mount and the bed floor, and the mount and the exhaust. I am open to any and all suggestion for how to go about getting this one off. I have tried an impact gun, 1/2 inch drive...

I started college last fall and took my m1009 up to Purdue with me. It has been very reliable thus far. I dove it around 140 miles home and back about every two weeks, and it did just fine. Did fairly well in the cold, as well. Sure get lots of looks in it. Lincoln

Its not that hard to believe. We bought a 1974 Chevy K20 long bed stepside from a fire department, in 2008, that had 8600 original miles... That's right, 8600. All service records showed that this mileage was correct.

Well, I have bad news.... I tested them all, and they all were bad. To top it off.... three are mushroomed. Two on the passengers side, and one on the drivers. It turns out that the plugs were mixed... 13g's and 60g's. When the previous owner said he changed the glow plugs, he must have only...

It wasn't too bad when we removed ours. It ended up not being the problem, but using the GM shop manual from our Civy 6.2's, it was pretty easy.

Thanks for the info guys. I will use the rag trick from now on. That sounds a lot better then spraying it in the intake. I will check the plugs again tomorrow. We checked them two weekends ago. What do you recommend I replace the glow plugs with? We have a full set of 60g's in the garage, which...

Like I said, the only way the glow plugs work is if the push button is pressed. Thanks for the advice though.
