    Transmission Swap

    Ok well I just finished up my d44/14 bolt FF install in the m1009. The rear now has 4.1's instead of the 3.08 stuff and I can really tell the difference. I am running 36" tires, but the motor really seems to get going at 50 and I am a little hesitant to take it up to 65 for highway driving...

    Coolant Leak

    I cant tell for sure but my coolant level may have dropped a bit. What does a bad head gasket look/feel like. Exhaust is clear, no bubbles when it is running with the rad cap off, starts right up, coolant looks a little rusty after it has ran a while and is green when it has sat, oil is black.

    Part number needed

    Does anyone have the part number for the radiator puke tank for an m1009? Autozone website says they dont have it and mine is cracked. It is a nuisance because if I get on the throttle for a day or work the engine hard the the radiator pukes out the overflow and the fluid is lost and the...

    Water in Fuel Sensor

    How could I go about testing the water in fuel sensor? I have the notorious lean from the pressure sensor on the block and am debating on just plugging the hole for the sensor and using the base or getting something else with a water separator and sensor to use. If the base is working besides...

    Cold Timing Advance

    How is this supposed to work? When the engine is cold the plunger on the right side of the ip is out and the idle up server is giving it throttle. If I push the plunger in the motor gets a lot quieter. It also seems like when the engine is hot the plunger is in the same outward position. Where...

    What the heck is going on now?

    Ok so I have owned this truck for almost a year and am getting a little annoyed at the numerous problems I keep having. About 6 months ago I had to replace the lifter pump and injector pump on a trip and all was well for the most part (other than numerous little parts going out all the time)...

    How much fuel should be coming out of the black rubber hose on the front of the ip? I pulled my while it was running today and was surprised to see that is wasn't spraying out, just a healthy drizzle coming from the ip side of the hose. Is this normal? I have never checked it before and so I am...

    What is Happening!?

    Ok here is what I got. Some times and sometimes only I will hear a relay go clunk while I am driving (engine been running for more than 5 min) and the volt gauge does almost to the red. It only happens for about a second and the relay clicks off. Based on this I am suspecting the glowplugs. Is...

    So how important are these?

    Well after driving today I noticed around lunch that the truck would chirp when it was accelerating. I discovered that the problem was the center cross member bolts coming loose and one missing :shock: allowing the transmission to move around a lot while being torqued. Tightened the remaining...

    Park Light

    Well after sitting for 2 months or so I fired up m1009 and everything is fine, except the parking brake light on the dash wont shut off. I disconnected the switch and it still stays illuminated. Is there an easy or common fix to get it working properly again?
