    CUCV - No start with smoke from the wiring

    Why is it when a cucv won't start and something smokes it is automatically the fault of the doghead relay? There are always several other options?

    M1009 injector pump issues.

    How full is your diesel tank? When it is really low it is harder to prime the entire fuel system. Sounds like you have a common problem of no start with both pumps. You still have air in the lines some where I bet. If there is no air in the system I would check glow plugs next. Good luck.

    Cant find rear tailgate window glass...help

    I do! I have a few NOS, still in the foam packed cardboard box, that I would sell for $125 plus shipping. These boxes are approx. 75" long by 36" wide x 12" deep and weigh approx. 69 lbs. I haven't shipped one of these yet to know the best way to ship. My zip code is 73660. Thanks!

    [Questions]M1009 Axle Swap and Drive Shafts.

    I always use Spicer hardened u-joints that are not drilled for grease zerks. They last a lot longer in normal use and won't break as easy in severe use.

    Ok, good. This is the 12 volt diamond in the middle of the firewall I was talking about!

    Did this M1009 ever get back on the road again? Any updates?

    starter solenoid problem on my M1009?

    I would check the positive cable that fastens to the starter solenoid and make sure it is tight. Then check all cables on all the buss bar connections. Look really close at the cables for a bad spot(green or corroded spot) also.

    I would check all fusible links. Sounds like it could be one that connects to the 12 volt diamond in the middle of the firewall.

    Adding oil to fuel of m35a2

    Power Service is acceptable additive. It is readily available at most truck stops and stores. It is not as good as Opti-Lube as shown in independent tests but it is more available. A lot of truckers wouldn't use anything else.

    Adding oil to fuel of m35a2

    Injection pumps went down in every industry because of the lack of lubrication in ULSD. Yet oil companies and fuel suppliers would swear their diesel was safe to use. Several companies would not warranty injection systems on new machinery if a quality diesel additive was not used for lubrication...

    Adding oil to fuel of m35a2

    What you have to watch out for is not let biodiesel set too long in your tank without running on a regular basis. If it sets too long it will draw moisture and cause corrosion. I ask an authorized diesel shop what they thought of biodiesel after it came out and was shown an injector pump that...

    What Do Slave Cables Consist Of?

    Looks like #2 wire, not 2/0.

    diesel fuel additive

    Truckers in the high sulfur #2 diesel era used 10% gasoline in their diesel to prevent gelling without any problems. This was because the sulfur in the diesel provided enough lubrication for everything to work ok. If #1 diesel (similar to kerosene) was available that was a better choice in cold...

    Need electrical advise on M1008 please

    Yes. Everything that is powered from the switch went dead. Fuel pump solenoid closed and truck died. Voltmeter showed nothing and the gen 1 and gen 2 lights would not light up. Heater fan quit working. The fusible links looked ok but when I pulled on them slightly and one stretched and pulled...

    Need electrical advise on M1008 please

    No. All fusible links are no longer than 9 inches. The original fusible links are connected to the wire by a hard plastic connector. All you have to do is cut these off and replace with the same size fusible link. I was just trying to point out which one might be burned into. I had this one to...

    Need electrical advise on M1008 please

    I would check the Diagram E-3-1 Red2R-12 volt engine wiring harness block-12 volt to ignition switch- 16 ga. fusible link. This is one of the fusible links that comes off the 12 diamond on the firewall by the glow plug relay. It goes to the ignition switch on the column. These fusible links can...

    I went to the steel store.....

    According to the American Petroleum Institute Arizona has 27 cents State tax on diesel and 24.4 cents federal tax on diesel for a total of 51.4 cents. This should be reflected in the difference in off road and highway diesel pricing. In Oklahoma there is 14 cents state tax and 24.4 cents federal...
