For Warthog, I am at school but it is lunch time right now (1 hour long, ends in 10 minutes) and they give us wifi. Thankfully this website isn't blocked! I figured so on swiss' statement but still :-P.

You have an extremely good point swiss! Somebody, I forget who, thinks that the truck may have been part of a training unit but who knows about before that! I have a post in for some help from CARNAC but he seems to be having computer problems again and do not know when they will be resolved. No...

I believe that is exactly what my Grandpa intends to do (regarding the oil)! I will be looking around for parts for both vehicles but when you say that a M1009 isn't a good parts vehicle, how serious are you being? I definitely see the humorous side to it but it would make sense for that to be...

It is great to hear that the glow plugs are at least partially working! I didn't have a chance to look at the dash light because of the aforementioned surprise and because I didn't have enough juice left in the batteries afterwards. I already help my Grandpa a lot (it isn't a farm) and he pays...

Thank you wheelspinner and Warthog. When I posted that last night I had been tired and I completely spaced that rule (which I do know of course). Since that is now taken care of, I will post more in a few minutes.

Browsing Craigslist and I found this: Full time 4wd np203 transfer case out of Chevy pickup. includes adapter Any thoughts?

Yes, I was already thinking about that and I would of but I only left the engine on a couple seconds before I shut it off because it surprised me and I wasn't prepared for it. Once again, I would of after that but I couldn't get the engine going again (not enough juice was left in the batteries).

For his 83 Silverado, I know my Grandpa needs the crankshaft and the block. There might be other things that he needs but I think that those are all. I actually have a multimeter of my own and know how to use it. It has actually been extremely handy already in this project! What are you thinking...

Definitely! I can't wait until I can work on it again! I have kept it mind the information on the starter and follow it for any vehIcle I use. My Grandpa has mixed feelings on whether to keep the thing together or use the engine for parts. Annoyingly enough, the previous owner had decided that...

I have to admit that I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff but I have a couple ideas. First, you might just have a loose connection at the starter. Second, you might have a stuck solenoid in the starter (just hit it with a hammer or mallet). Or, you might have shot brushes...

Well, I tried again but my Grandpa thinks we need to borrow the batteries out of his rv. The truck just takes so much juice to crank over fast enough to catch. Funny thing I just thought of... I have no idea if the glow plugs are working but when I got the engine to crank over fast enough, the...

Man do these things drain batteries quick! I couldn't get the thing to crank good enough to start it again. Because of that, I decided to just have dinner and leave the batteries on the charger. I will be trying again in a few minutes. Still, it ran!

So... I got a better battery in there and starting cranking it. Did great and sounded fine. Then, IT STARTED AND RAN :jumpin::grin:!!! Must of been going on leftover stuff... Time to have a board ready and do it again!

IT CRANKS :)!!! It cranks with the key and sounds perfectly fine! Now just to finish getting a battery that isn't half dead.

Thanks Warthog! Time to go to school... But afterwards the truck!

I sure hope so as well! I would have already posted ads at this point but I still don't have any say from my Grandpa who is the actual owner and I don't have any money right now so... yeah. If I get the chance to expand my budget though, I certainly will! Maybe this thing will become my first...

Thank you stampy! I was questioning myself on it but I was too convinced that it was him. Do you guys know what pressure rating of fuel line I'll need for rigging up a fuel can and replacing the line all the way up to the IP (from the fuel pump to the IP for clarification)? I know I need the r9...

Thank you Warthog on the tip for the radiator! I live in the northwest (just google my location for better information) so it usually does not get too cold (we usually have 1 season, rain :p:roll:, but the occasional freezing night) though according to the Farmer's Almanac, we are slated for a...

Thank you guys for all the wonderful information! I don't know how I overlooked so much of this information as I have viewed several of the resources mentioned though it is probably because I was too focused on finding other information. In response to alburns, yes, no one had yet pointed out...

Annoying news... I get to wait another day until I get to work on the truck! Turns out that my Mom and I have to go do something in Portland after school today. Guess that gives me another day to get information together and stuff. Considering that, what transmission and transfer case does a...
