After swapping the IP, I had the IP advanced about 2mm to the drivers side. After driving it some, I decided it seemed a bit too much advanced. So I backed it off to only 1mm advance to driver side. It seems to run a bit smoother now. Also I did remove the air cleaner to do this. Now that...
Well, I havn't put a gauge on the fuel line to verify prime loss, but thats just what I'm figuring. The glow plugs are nearly new. And, each time the truck has done this malfunction, the engine has initially started up fine...it just died after 5-10 seconds. That's when I had to crank and...
Well, the truck is running much better throughout the entire throttle range with the new IP, I'm happy about that.
But, I still have an issue with the fuel system losing its prime sometimes when the truck sits for a while. I've read where others have found leaks around one of the sensors on...

My all-stock '85 m1008 is lacking power beyond half-throttle. It runs fine from zero to half-throttle, but opening the throttle any more than that acts like fuel starvation. It wont put out any black smoke even at full throttle. If I push the pedal to the floor, the engine "bogs" until I lift...
