    Starter problems or more than that?

    Just tried to start my m1009, engine cranked slowly for about half a second then stopped. I attempted to start it again by hitting the push start button and it just clicks loudly each time i push it. I then checked the engine oil and nothing was on the dipstick, so I added a gallon of oil. Tried...

    m1009 transfercase vent

    Are the np208 transfercase vents similar to that on deuce axles? you push them down, release, they pop back up? or what? because im getting leaks from both slip yokes on my transfercase, after changing both seals, so now im just curious about that vent. Also, are these vents actually threaded...

    Mine didnt appear to be allowing any fluid through when spraying cleaner into it.

    m1009 quit on me

    The check valve is the nipple ontop of the IP cover, correct? i took it out and sprayed carb cleaner in both ends, i never witnessed any carb cleaner actually coming out the opposite end, but i figured that was just from the small bead inside blocking it?

    alright, where do you exactly hookup to? the line on the bottom of the fuel filter housing?

    m1009 quit on me

    i cleaned the check valve. i filled the tank with fresh fuel from a truck stop. it started up and idled normally. my hopes were high, so i took it for a spin down the street. right as soon as you get on the throttle its very apparent that power is just not there. soon enough after it warmed up...

    what are the chances of this being a torque converter problem?

    m1009 quit on me

    fair enough. i was under the impression that a bad IP would make the truck smoke pretty heavily?

    m1009 quit on me

    Do my trucks symptoms point towards a lift pump problem? the whole thing just seems really random. something must've failed.

    m1009 quit on me

    I did as you said, doghead. i replaced the fuel filter with a brand new one, i put diesel service 911 in the tank and i even took it one step further and cleaned out the return valve on the ip cover with carb cleaner. here's the results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgL-q8AToXg

    m1009 quit on me

    Well, i personally changed the filter and harmonic balancer at the same time, so around 3-4 months ago.

    m1009 quit on me

    ive been using the silver bottle of diesel service, not the winter blend, but havent used it in my last few tanks. im more concerned with it being the harmonic balancer and the more i try to run it the more risk i run snapping the crank. I'll try the filter and 911 if you feel strongly about it...

    m1009 quit on me

    Do you need a CDL for a 5 ton

    This is news to me, but i guess it's not surprising, as Maine's laws are quite lax in general. "By federal law, you need to have a CDL to drive any truck weighing more than 26,001 pounds. You do not need a CDL to drive a fire truck or emergency vehicle, an RV for personal use, military vehicles...

    "Truck will not start, but has keys. Operational condition unknown." Straight from the GL listing.

    Won my first GL auction, 5 ton m931 Indiana

    As the title states, I won my first GL auction yesterday afternoon and it being a 5ton m931a1. I rang up GL in an attempt at extending the removal period beyond 10 days so I could try to straighten out transporting options, but to no avail they declined my request. I don't know if anyone has...
