Does your wife know you took her nail polish remover? If not blame it on the kids and then get more to get the kids out of trouble. It never works me but it might for you. My wife knows when something whacky happens it was most likely me. Then when I say I didn't do it but will fix it right now...
To charge the batteries disconnect all the cables and charge them seperate. Out of the truck they are just twelve volt batteries. Together they are 24v. So just disconnect everything, you do not have to remove them but just not hooked up to the truck. That does not sound like your problem. Loud...
Yeah, I going to change the fuel filter because it does not cost much. Then replace the fuel return line with a clear tube to look for bubbles. Then just bleed the lines. If none of that works I will replace the fuel pump because it only costs about fifty bucks. That should keep me busy all...
The engine needs 150-200 cranking rpm's for the IP to work. I pulled the original batteries then changed the glow plugs. The refurb batteries I picked up fit the battery trays. I cranked it and IT STARTED! But it did not stay running. It ran for a minute or so then when I pushed the peddle down...
Do not hold your breath. They may send the EUC back to you for revisions. But it will be at least a few weeks. Then when you get it you verify the VIN ( and make sure it runs). Then when you have the VIN checked you send off for the SF-97 so you can get a title and give GL another $60. My SF-97...
Hey c3bosco I will be working on my truck tonight. I went and picked up two refurbished batteries just to make sure that is not a problem. I have a check list for the injection pump. I will post it either late tonight or tomorrow on a new thread. It is great. I will take some pics to help too.
Go to the FAQ Thread for CUCV's The key code is on the first page. They all use the same key. If you want you can go to your auto parts store and get new ignition cylinder with a key and new ones for the door. But only if you are worried. Or just ask if someone has an extra key. Anyone can just...
Yes there is 12v at the pink wire. I hear a click when I take pink wire on and off. I was just about to find out how many volts should be at the cold start advance wire. When I get done I will know more about injection pumps than I ever wanted to know. For now I do not know enough. I may take...
I was leaving my dad's place last week and thought I saw a M1009 going the other way on Terri I guess that was you. Yeah they are off Walnut Springs so you must have seen them. I will be trying to work on it this week. I actually live near Sugar Land but I am not allowed to work on cars here so...
I have been reading the threads on IP's and the TM's but I can not find the model number. I called a diesel repair shop and they said three injection pumps could be on a 6.2L. I was also told the DB-9411 would fit. I find a DB2-9411 online. I was thinking about the marine injectors because I...
I have never bought a new turbo. I always go to junk yards. If you can work on your own engine you can rebuild a turbo. I did it in a college dorm room. If you need some advice look for those guys in little cars that go way too fast. They are always working on turbos. But the housing on turbos...
Banks told me $2500. I found it online for around $2000. The only difference was when I asked about getting the turbo from the Ford kit. They told the turbos where about the same price so they could just put the kit together with the turbo I wanted. But I can get it online for $2000 buy the...
I called Banks and the price was $500 more than I could find online. They would just put in the wastegated turbo from a Ford kit. It spools faster and I can adjust the boost with the wastegate. But if the 6.5 manifold and turbo fit I can just get the manifold and then gat the turbo I want. I...
I love junk yards! But it depends how nice your tailgate is and if you want to paint it. The parts are cheap so the whole tailgate at a junkyard should not be much. The people will not want a stripped tailgate so they will want to sell the whole thing. When you have it do not just swap them out...
I tried my invoice in TX and it would not work. How can they charge for a bill of sale. All I need is a bill of sale but the invoice does not have a vehicle description. GL is not on my list of companies with good ethics. But what can you do?
What satates can you get a title without a SF-97?
I quoted $525-$550 to rebuild the IP with a one day turn around. The cheapest I found online for a rebuilt was $599. A take off that works may go out anytime. money is tight but on the side of the road with my kids is worse. The control card is brand new. The black box does not close and there...
It seems the IP is not working. The red wire is hot. But I was told the IP can go bad sitting too long. But lostened the injectors and canked it but no fuel. There is fuel at the fuel filter. So does that mean to rebuild the IP?
Well the high is 97 degrees so who cares about the high humidity. I have a fresh sun burn. So it is a great day to go back to work on my M1009 in a field with no shade. But wallew's buddy is going with me to help get this beast started. It is now the Green Beast. The best part is my wife being...
