    Installing my glowplug button - few ?'s

    I am interested in installing the glow plug kit but after looking at them do not know if I want to go with the 12v system for $57 or go with the 24V system for 74+. the 12 volt plugs are easer to find and If I am changing it out for a different glow plug system anyway. What would you guys do?

    glow plugs suck

    I have a M1008 that I picked up from the city garage two years ago. It has had some major tinkering on the wiring before I got the truck (It is still a 24volt starter). When I got the truck I could hear the glow plugs cycle (click on and off) and the tuck would crank. It has stopped cycling and...

    Starter question

    Pull the starter first. It should say 24v on the cylinoid (sp?). And you need to check the teeth on the starter and make certain there not already in bad shape. If you drop the inspection cover and turn the flex plate/fly wheel you can see if you have screwed up the teeth. If your starter is...

    Electrical question, starter/voltmeter

    I just had to take me main power line from for the block down to the started off and put a new end on it. (it was 7'6" long) I looked like someone had taken the starter off without unhooking the battery and burnt the line half into. I can also tell you that the purple wire that goes to the...

    sorry, for the long winded bs. Yes, I got it from LMC it was like $299 plus tax. it came with the speakers and dome light. I already had the CD player. They have the option of the head liner with or without speakers, but it is the same price. The speakers sound pretty good in my truck and are...

    Head liner in the M1008

    How difficult was it to install and where did you get the headliner - LMC? Maybe it also helps as a sound deadener. Looking at your dash it seems civvy too (heater/defroster thingy on the passenger side). Walter The head liner was pretty easy to put in. I ran the wiring threw the door rubber...
