    Are these normal glow plug issues?

    Are these normal glow plug issues?

    Well if the tips just brake off when you have them on for too long, I was going to replace them to be on the safe side. But if that's not the case, I'm going to leave them alone. What about the clicks and jump in voltage? I haven't noticed that in my m1009, but like I said, I haven't had...

    Are these normal glow plug issues?

    I found a video on youtube, where these guys are trying to start their m1009, and you can hear these clicks as the glow plug relay cycles on. Mine worked perfectly fine for 3 days, I heard no sounds like this, now it has problems starting. I'm just wondering if mine is different, or...

    I found a m1009 with a yellow light mounted on top...

    Something similar to this; Just more squared off. I haven't actually bought the truck yet, so no actual pics. Whoever drove the thing, they did so very rarely, or made super short trips because the thing has less than 4K miles on it.

    I found a m1009 with a yellow light mounted on top...

    ... like it was a MP vehicle or something, but I was under the impression MP's used blue lights just like the civilian police force. Am I wrong? So what was this vehicle used for? I'm just curious because it has reeeeeaaly low miles.
