Both are correct. The rebuild was what I was figuring on even though the replacement only had 31k reported miles on it. I thought I'd double check with y'all before I tore into them.
Thanks!!
Would that be the one on the left or right?? :p With the fast idle on, it pretty much takes care of itself. It's the "something new" that always gets my attention. Thought it might be a loose belt so I've tightened them up, but still going on. Thanks for the input!
Does anyone else's Gen2 light flicker on after start-up, right after the glow plugs recycle? This started a couple of months ago. Gen2 light comes on with the key, off at start-up. Voltmeter drops as glow plugs start recycle and rises as they end recycle. That is when the Gen2 light comes on...
After I put a replacement 6.2 in my M1009, it blew white smoke at start up. My problem was that the injector pump was out of time(retarded). After placing the IP back on the timing mark it all disappeared. Some do like the timing "a match book cover" to the driver's side of the line.

OH MAN!! My boy's soccer team qualified for district, which happens to be in Brenham on the same day. Momma and my girl already have two parades on the 3rd here in Port Arthur and Groves. Looks like we'll have to look foward to next year. Good Luck!
If you still have the 24V to 12V resistor connected (it's behind the air cleaner, on the firewall), as one fails, the others will slowly fail. There's is a huge sticky on the GP theory of operation within the CUCV forum of this site. It's great reading!!
Sorry, I don't have any pics handy. I found some somewhere on this site, just can't remember where. After removing the rack from the back seat of my m1009, I used the left over cable as a BIG power cable. The resistor is the only thing I removed and it doesn't need to be removed, just...
