    Fuel issues

    I ordered a pump Thanks, I have not tried the diagnosis of the lift pump yet. However every time I prime the system (crank with the pink cable disconnected from the IP, the cap off the tank, and the vent plug on the fuel filter mount loosened) I get fuel squirting out of the 'vent plug port'...

    Awesome! On my M1010 one of those 8 bolts is obstructed. Only way I see to get to this bolt is take a sort of flange off. Not sure what my actual question was..... just checking if somebody has the same situation so I feel better about buying a 3/4" wrench to stick into the gap to hold the nut...

    Thanks for your reply. Based on my looking around there does not appear to have been any mechanical parts replaced. Thanks, Ned

    By the way, I am also interested in taking the tank off anyway. There are 4 bolts to take off the support brackets. One of these bolts is obscured, and it seems like the only way to get it off is to remove a bit of plate held onto the frame by two big 3/4 inch bolts with nuts. Is that familiar...

    All right, thanks. I guess maybe I just have to prime with the hose in there.

    This truck was in service as a SWAT vehicle at a rural Minnesota police department before being sold at auction to a dealer who sold it to me. All parts under the hood are labeled as to when the filters were replaced, what type of oil was used, etc. There is a small tag on the dash showing what...

    Hi Everybody, I tried running the engine off an auxiliary fuel tank and that appeared to do nothing. Today I thought to myself I should make SURE the air is bled out, so I performed the steps as per the CUCV TM to bleed the fuel filter. The truck starts and idles rough with white smoke. The...

    Hi , I have a 1985 M1010 with the 6.2L diesel. It has worked fine since I got it in September 2019, although I did not drive it much and it sat for a few months during that time. Made 1400 mi from Minnesota to Texas with no trouble. Recently I was told by another owner I met that he replaced...
