I just realized you were asking cleptomaniac! I'm a little slow sometimes....aua

I've been too busy swapping transmissions, changing GP's, GP card, fuel filter base, bleeding the air out, charging batteries, changing GP temp switch, swapping starters, etc.!!! But know I think I have the 09 squared away in the reliability department! I'm going to check to see which bracket...

No, I'm still 24V on both MV's

Thanks Warthog! I've had excellent luck with my rebuilt DD so I think I will get it rebuilt. We have a shop here in town that rebuilds starters and alternators etc. The have been good to me and stand by their work so I think I will take it to them.

I swapped starters from my truck to my blazer last night. This without a doubt fixed all my hard start problems! This starter spins the engine so fast it has no choice but to fire right up! I said twice as fast before but I think it is more than that! Both my MV's have the 27MT Direct Drive...

It's just a fancy nut. Just give it a couple light taps and see if it trys to start. I bet it will.

Duly noted....

When I changed the bearings in my M1028 I bought a socket at O'Reilly's. I couldn't get it to go into the slots by hand. I ended up tapping it on with a shop hammer, worked perfect!

Where did you get it?

Well i've replaced the glow plugs, bypassed the resistor, new gp card, new st85 gp relay, NOS fuel filter housing and filter, new gp temp switch....still hard to start. I think the next logical step is to swap starters with my M1028. I had it rebuilt a little over a year ago and man that truck...

I took the governor out and it was stuck. I drove out the pin that holds the gear on and took out the rod that is supposed to move up and down. I used brake cleaner and cleaned everything really really well. I then chucked up the rod in a cordless drill (lightly) I used 320 grit sand paper to...

I was able to get my factory box style primed by using my MightyVac (vacuum pump) hooked up to the out side of the filter base (goes to the IP). Once I got diesel to the vacuum pump I quickly hooked the line back up and did the normal bleeding procedure. Bleed the air out of the filter housing...

Thank you for finishing this thread with your resolution. It helps us with similar problems.

All that help and you never finished the thread....It doesn't help anyone to search and read threads with a similiar problem if you don't finish the thread with a resolution! Consider it giving back for all the help you received.

The upper port on the radiator is the return line to the transmission. I used fittings to attach a rubber hose from that upper return port to the external cooler. Then another hose from the external cooler back to the hard return line that goes back to the transmission. If you run the external...

What did you find out?

I have no idea how I missed this thread until now!!! I have read through the whole thing and man what a build! I want more!! There has got to be more pics of the dash before completion, and the front and rear bumper builds! I have lots of questions if he has time to get back to this thread!

Well then, I retract my previous statement! I have the Direct Drive starters on both my MV's

I've only had this 09 for a few weeks. I suspect that the batteries don't have enough cranking amps as well. I have a lot of things to check yet. All the swellman (although non where swollen) glow plugs checked out good but I replaced them with AC60G's. Did the doghead relay. I'm doing the...

Well I stand corrected. I have the one on the right, gear reduction. My M1028 and M1009 both have that style. Thanks Warthog!!
