    85 M1009 no cold start

    I'll admit I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE A VOLTAGE METER. But, when a SS Member says hey try using a "test light" and do this.:deadhorse: A test light is a dollar at the dollar store! A test light is a 1.50 at Walmart, Advance Auto Parts, Napa ETC. When someone is trying to help you and says what's...

    85 M1009 no cold start

    :ditto: I agree, I tried! When mine failed they failed real fast! I tested mine BY HOOKING UP A DAM dollar store test light... Hook the Alligator Clip on the 12 volt terminal Block DIAMOND SHAPE, right above the Glow Plug Relay. Touch a glow plug end, THE END is where the green wire female...

    CUCV Wiper Problem

    My washer fluid does the same thing now. It used to pump like 3 or 4 squirts them stop pumping. I had to turn off the wipers of course. I don't believe any of ours work when you push the washer select forward to mist and wipe say 3 times and stop all on it's own!? If I was to take the...

    85 M1009 no cold start

    OK that fine. Your plugs are still DEAD.aua Cheat it going every time now - RIGHT? Tell us Wrong. Putting that sensor in is great but doesn't resurrect the Glow Plugs, Oh and check your new BIG card under the dash in the BIG black box. Dead now too, get arc'd again! Let us know about that card...

    Epic Alternator Failure

    :ditto:He does need to charge up the batteries, turn the key on and both gen 1 LEFT (Drivers Side) and gen 2 RIGHT (Passengers Side) lights should come on as soon as he turns the key. Just like you stated. As we know he must have the light come on for both sides, for the bulb has to work for the...

    Almost ready

    Sure sucks you have to buy new glow plugs is right. That MEANS your system has a fault! Glow plugs last for years when a system operates correctly. I know with the military system having the resistors there is a pain for once you loose a Glow Plug they all eventually burn up and FAST. Having a...

    gear reduction starter rebuild parts

    I thought the gear reduction starter was 12 volt? I had my original 24 volt starter rebuilt for 170.00 :hammer: works great I can't complain. I had not heard of the gear reduction starter till a few months back!

    low budget upgrades and tuning help

    not the m1028, only the 1028a2 and 1028a3 my family has a bunch of the M1028's (shelter carrier trucks) they are a m1008 with more leaf springs. They also have the 208 aluminum transfer case, you have the 205 with cast iron make with a PTO shaft. So bolt a pair on. Make a fender extender or...

    Smokes White and no start

    won't hit you obviously... [thumbzup] well, I'll be.:shock: I was just quoting what I was told. I was specifically told not to jump or be jumped from the slave cable port up front after doing the resistors bypass. I don't have any tools that run off that 24 volt port, or slave cables to jump...

    85 M1009 no cold start

    maybe the gpr stuck closed and juiced them to death? Do the resistors bypass <-----------this may be your issue. research - search search search[thumbzup]

    Smokes White and no start

    NO to that part # use the s603 for 28.00 it is the same as the Napa st85 for 85.00 IDENTICAL :grd: NO bypassing to any relay, except the Starter Solenoid "starter relay" some call it. When you go to a 12 volt starter you don't need this ac40 relay anymore. And no to bypassing the GPR...

    Smokes White and no start

    You take the big read wire, passengers side of the resistors - off the 24 volt terminal buss block. Now take the red wire off the Glow Plug Relay (GPR) on the drivers side of the resistors. Now remove the resistors from the firewall behind the Air Cleaner. Take the resistors cover off...

    Smokes White and no start

    nope as long as it goes away after say the engine rpms come down after the cold start solenoid backs off and your now at normal idel.

    Another weird dash noise

    chattering, hmmmm could it be the GPR? I think I remember reading something on here about "chattering" sound, dash ... or was it the Starter Solenoid - RELAY under the dash CENTER by 2 smaller relays! AC40 part number, I could be wrong it might be the Glow Plug Relay. s603 GPR advance auto parts...

    85 M1009 no cold start

    That's because the plugs aren't drawing because they're dead! should be showing 12-14 volts when the resistors and all 8 plugs work. the plugs are essentially resistors themselves. your Resistors OR SOMETHING is allowing to much voltage to the (12 volt) glow plugs. I have read on here I believe...

    85 M1009 no cold start

    Take a test light - hook the small clip to the 12 volt terminal block (diamond shaped) it's right above the GPR. (take the wire off a GP) touch the end of the test light to the end of the GP does it light up? Touch just the end that you pulled the spade connector off! Sounds like you burned...
