Hey Guys, Okay, been dealing with this for awhile now and I need some guidance. After truck has been sitting for awhile, go out, let glow plugs warm (yes I have tested and they are working and rather new). Turn key, truck fires up and immediately dies. IF you give enough throttle she will stay...

Just to follow up.... all of our troubles came from a cracked accumulator housing on the bottom of the valve body. Technically this could have been repaired without even dropping the transmission. However, Im glad we got the job done!! 200 miles on repair and shes still going strong! Heres a...

Thanks Cliffyp, and I do agree with everything you said. Looking in the manual it does say that there will be a moderate amount of air between the 1 & 3 Passages, i just dont know how much is moderate. I was looking last night and it looks like I could install the rear servo and pressure test...

When Air Checking. If I blow air into #2, I can hear a clunk and very tight air seal (120psi). If I blow air into #1 I can hear the clunk, but lots of air coming out of #3. My rubber tip is too large to get down into #3 to try to blow air. Is there anywhere else I can air check, and what are...

Ok, ive dropped the pan off and removed the valve body (trans still in truck BTW). I was at work when my son installed the valve body and so far...the only thing I have found is a crack in the accumulator housing. Obviously thats not supposed to be cracked, but I have some quick research to do...

Ok, the results are in: Neutral= Idle: 110psi Drive= Idle: 75psi 1000 rpm: 80psi 1rst= Idle: 80psi 1000 rpm: 110psi 2nd= Idle: 65psi 1000 rpm: 80psi Reverse= Idle:10psi 1000 rpm: 10psi

Ok, im heading out to take another pressure reading and see what we have now. Im determined to get this figured out! Here is a quick ESPN breakdown of the history of all this, maybe is will spark some ideas from some of you more advance transmission guys. 1. Bought M1009, transfer case, and...

And we are back again. Ordered a new trans pump and it came in yesterday. So we put the pump in, installed the trans, got the fluid level as best we could cold, fired her up, and BAM... It worked!! Went right in to all the gears. We let her warm up and topped off the fluid until it read...

Ok, we finally got around to trouble shooting this. For awhile, this truck would start to go into gear at higher rpms, now even reving up, it wont engage. Checked pressure and have 0 PSI no matter if in park, gear, etc. Just dropped the pan to check the pickup tube and it all looks good...

Hey Everyone, So my sons M1009 had a VERY weak reverse, barely enough to back up our driveway (not very steep grade). So we bought a rebuild in a box kit from www.bulkpart.com for the TH400. When we tore down the transmission, there was really never any big indicator of a failed part inside...

Warthog you are Very much correct! Amazing that one little ground wire could cause so many problems. I showed my son the location of it last night, we cleaned it up good, and I told him if you have any weird electrical problems, start right there! Thank You Very Much!

Ok... We we changing out the old slow wiper motor in my sons M1009 and now have a strange condition. Start truck, turn on headlights and blinker lights light up, no dash lights come on, and if you turn the key off... the truck stays running! If you turn the headlights off... the truck will...

Hey Everyone.... did some searching but still uncertain. I replaced the front fender blinkers on my M1009. I ordered the L and R Front Turn Signal Housing on RockAuto (the ones below the headlights), however the ones I received would not work. Looking online I can figure out if the grill is...

Aces...do you think a Girdle would have prevented this from happening? I have a complete 6.5 in my garage and am about to start the turbo swap myself.... reading this kinda worries me a bit.

Kapnklug, What airbox did you use?
