Ok, Thanks guys. It seems like it was just a coincidence that it didn’t go wide open after I unplugged the high idle solenoid because it has still done it a couple times. It only does it if I have not held the glow plug button long enough and have to crank it for a while, then if I pump the...

I checked the regulator and it was not holding the throttle so i figured I would disconnect the high idle solenoid and it started and idled normally, so I guess that was somehow causing the issue or the issue fixed itself somehow. Since it was running right I waited to see if the glow plug relay...

Ok, thanks. I was a little concerned about the glow plugs because on my other cucvs it clicks off before the light goes out. I was unaware that the regulator could cause that, but I will check that. I’m always learning new things about these trucks from this site

I recently purchased another project m1009, I put a new starter relay in it and it started right up, but always needed the block heater for it to start. It sounded like the glow plug controller was bad because the relay was just clicking on and immediately back off so I wired u button into the...

I couldn’t find the number for the one I bought because it was aftermarket, but the gm number I found is 3914F

I completely forgot to look, sorry. I'll check today

I have the part number for the gear i believe. I will check and post it later tonight when i get home

I had this exact thing happen on my m1008 a couple months ago. Was driving perfectly, then left from a light and all of a sudden wouldn’t shift out of 1st. The plastic gear on the governer was stripped out flat. Installed a new plastic gear on the governer and then it was good as new.

The message must have not gone through, I haven’t gotten anything. I did find the fender and front bumper from lmc truck. The radiator support looks very salvageable thankfully.

I just purchased a rust free M893 ambulance, but it was in a fender bender on the passenger front corner and needs a fender, bumper, grill and headlights. It is also missing the door handle on the rear door, all the mechanism is there just the handle is missing. Any suggestions on where to get...

Yea it is a reliable old motor and easy to put in place of the old 6.2

My plan is to use the stock pcm but have it retuned

Wow, thanks for the reply. I thought from reading around it seemed fairly easy for the benefits you get from it. I'm pretty sure thats the way i'm gonna go with the truck.

Ok, well you definitely have plenty of experience with it to know what you are talking about haha. My thing is i can do the whole ls swap for the cost of the banks turbo and how much extra work it is doesnt really bother me. I have kinda set my mind on the ls and 4l80e, but i really do...

Thats what i was thinking, i have found fully rigged 6.0/4l80e combos for about 800 in my area that run and can be seen running before purchase

Yea if i go for the ls i am either going to put a beefed up 4l60e or a 4l80e in

Yep, ive been trying to educate myself as best as i can. The motor thats in it has been sitting torn apart for 20 some years haha

That is true. Well i bought the truck for $100 from the local police department and it even came with a title haha. They had the motor torn apart because of swollen glow plugs and a bad injection pump but then let it sit so all the internals now have some rust. I just want to swap the tranny...

Yea i was kindof thinking that at least if i go with the ls, i can make a lot more power cheaper down the road if i wanted to

Yea it's gonna be a lot of work but it will hopefully pay off in the end haha. Yea I should have defined that better, just drive it to the beach in the summer, something cool to drive around during hot rod weekend here in ocean city and maybe a few other things like occasional towing of my boat...
