Leaking injector fittings Diagnosing this issue would make a great separate thread. Would make it easier for someone else to follow your issues and learn from your experience than multiple separate posts here I think. The lift pump does not produce the pressure seen by the injectors. It...

Sounds like you have a short somewhere downstream of that fuse. Intermittent. Unfortunately they tend to be toughest to find. Follow the circuits.

... and rockmonstermotorsports.com doesn't resolve anymore.

Aside from piggy backing on the 24 volt fuse, sounds like you are going to have some fun with your favorite multimeter if that doesn't fix it. Keep us posted on what you find ...

Here in the Northeast I've seen horror stories with rear discs in trucks. They are now using a very caustic liquid to de-ice our roads. Drums in the rear fare much better, especially considering e-brake functioning. Just my experience for what it's worth ...

Not if they put it on the internet! I read that on the internet! roflrofl I also read this somewhere: Caveat emptor! Might I recommend seeing if there is a vehicle inspection service offered in the sellers area? May be worth the investment if you are concerned. Of course, vetting the...

Any updates? I am just about to pull the trigger on a unit for my M1008A1. Thanks ...

Old Diesel, Injection Pumps and Injectors FYI, Diesel fuel degrades over time. It loses lubricity, or it's ability to provide lubrication. The IP and Injectors in our trucks depend on the lubricity of the fuel. When the fuel degrades, scoring and wear will occur. Trucks this old with very...

Two words, compression test.

Just remember that a big consideration for the factory intake design was noise reduction. Not necessarily improved or cooler air flow. If you can get the intake pulses out in front of the radiator support, you dramatically reduce the under hood noise level. A major cause of the noise our...

I am guessing you want to reduce your intake air temp? But, have you considered the additional restriction that corrugated stuff will add?

Please check the -10 TM. "When engine is cold, let it Idle for a few seconds before driving; this will allow proper oil pressure to build up. (Increased operating noise and light exhaust smoke are normal when engine is cold.)"

Looks to me like your glow plug relay. Please provide more information regarding how you performed any diagnostics. Check the TM's for glow plug troubleshooting.

The obvious, you'll have to diagnose the system one step at a time, but if both systems are failing intermittently at the same time I would focus on the parts of the systems that are in common to both. Sounds like you are already heading that direction. Just a reminder that the ground tab in...

Well, it's time to remove the last little bit of GL forklift damage from the old girl. She has a nice little 'V' in the tank, and replacement is in order. 1985 M1008A1. Also trying to decide if the plastic is worth the extra samolians. I have been doing some research, and leaning to the...

No match for that part number on NAPA's online search engine, FYI. UPDATE: Warthog found it by dropping the BK prefix. (see below) Now about $20 in my area.

Nice upgrade. Looks like it should now. I also prefer black rims, but that is what I'm used to.

That's funny, I swear the exact same switch used to turn on the motor when hooked up to AC power, shut down the system when not connected. How could that happen?

Alternator Secrets So, pretty easy to find information out on that new fangled internet thingy. According to this: http://www.otherpower.com/images/scimages/1431/Alternator_Secrets.pdf (page 8 ) "Suppose we're producing 3600 watts. Since 746 watts equals one horsepower, it's a simple matter...
