The Doghead relay mod is the very first thing I do to a truck when I buy it . ( cheap insurance )

In the service light position also make sure your turn signal lever is centered. Mine will blink with the key off.

Tell them it is fom the SME line for a lawnmower.

Found the ground wire laying on top of the intake near where the neg cable bolts on. Grounded the wire , 8 new glowplugs, a GP relay, by-passed the resistor and it cranks up like a dream.:-P

You should be able to hold the bracket with pliers or visegrips and break the nut loose. The bracket has flats on it so it will index to the motor. The rubber grommets that the firewall bolts go through will be transfered also . One I think has a ground strap on it for the motor. You may want...

It's the first thing I do on any truck I buy. It's alot cheaper than a starter.

I appreciate the help .

Does anyone know where the black wire on the controler card goes to ground at? I was checking the system using the TM's and my resistance reading was not what the TM said it should be. I know this also goes to the temp sensor. By the wiring diagram it also looks like it passes through a...

Mine leaks around the fresh air vents on the left and right side . Ther is a foam seal behind them. Good luck

If the lights are functional you can use a dremel tool to grind around the wires and resolder them. A lighted magnifying glass helps. It can be done but it is tricky. Its already broke so why not try it?

Truck looks great. What did you use as a reducer and at what ratio?

You can make the belts stand up if the plastic sheath is not busted up too bad. I cut a piece of plastic from an old mud flap I had lying around the shop. Remove the belt from the truck. Cut the plastic so it slides inside the sheath, bend it 90 at t he the bottom and drill a hole for the bolt...

Remember that the dimmer switch is actually on the column below the dash and not up at the lever.

I am restoring an M1009 that has a civy reese hitch on it. It is bolted to the frame and welded to the shackle supports . They also removed the long bar under the pintle hich that bolts to the bumper and also the rings for the safety chains. On my personal M1009 I welded and bolted a receiver...

The wire is for the brake proportion valve . It plugs into a bracket on the frame and then to the proportion valve which is under the radiator.

I agree ,if you buy one at auction it's a gamble. If you buy from an individual at least you can test drive it and hopefully have a clear title. Also the price should reflect are you going to have to fix somethings or just put fuel in it and drive it away.:driver:

The radiator in mine sprung a leak and wasn't repairable . I ordered one from my parts supplier and they sent me one that is all aluminum. Looks like something for a hotrod.8-)

There was a post awhile back on how to fix the gauge by replacing the resistor on the back of it. Just a thought.

What you described is correct.

I hid my antenna under the dash above the heater box . It works good enough and no holes to cut.:razz:
