Got truck all back together finally with new bosch plugs. All seems well and glowplugs and relay functioned as designed. Didn't do the resistor bypass. To sum it up I think I just happend upon 2 bad sets of the wellman 070 glowplugs. Thanks for all the help and advice
Update on my glowplug swell issue. Ordered bosch plugs. Had a few of the second set of wellman swell on me.
I ended up pulling both fender wells...so much easier to get them out. I also ordered the two piece hummer glowplug extractor tool from kascar for 65.00. It doesn't work on drivers rear...
Got a chance to work a little. I'm in process of pulling the inner fenders...got left side done....to remove two stubborn glowplugs that swelled. I will post on my progress though it will be slow.
Also if anyone gets the time let me know the resistance of your glowplug resistor on firewall...
Matt thanks for the private email message. I do have a resistance reading off the resistor bank.
It starts out at a reading of .4 ohms then .3 ohms finishing al 0 ohms over about 5 secs of test time. Both trucks do the same thing. And they are disconnected at the buss bar and at the top of the...
Marcus the first post is kinda long and no paragraghs...guilty. but it's written in chronological order as to the events that set in motion. Basically I'm saying I have had number 1 for two years with the 70s and all stock and no issues swelling or killing plugs..
Number 2 truck has got a...
If you have a truck that hasn't been bypassed at resistors bank or a removed one could you check your ohms for me? Tm says 28 ohms and if not replace it. Tm also says to remove from firewall to check but it doesn't appear to make a difference since the resistors aren't grounded to the case or...
Also forgot...relay is hooked up correctly...red on top from resistor....two orange and the sensing wire on the bottom relay. Pulled card also and no burns. It is original style. Wiring is not hacked...relay did the cycling in wait mode....and did the after glow. Thx
I have two all stock m1009s. No bypasses or anything. Num 1 I put diesel rx 70s in immediately as originals were not working g and swelled. No problem for two years now. Num 2 m1009 I decided to do the same. It appears all original right down to the u joints and handwritten codes in white and...
Hi neibor. I live in dundee and have two running m1009s and a parts m1009 nonrunning. It's possible I may be able to help out on occasion if you get in over your head! Two heads are better than one sometimes....and an extra pair of hands is also handy. I'm also in process of the cataract thing...
Did a break job on my m1009 for an out of round drum. During road test had a metallic noise from rear. Secured all cargo and rechecked. ...still there what the heck! I'm pretty thorough but was doubting my work. Then I saw the wd40 can under the bench seat. ...one of the small ones!
I found the muffler assy seemed to drop my milage slightly. It did quiet it down a tad though. The muffler and the rubber to connect to air housing inlet is all I was able to salvage. When you look in the muffler it has a pvc pipe inside restricting air flow in my opinion. I was gonna try to...
Just posted in what have you done to your cucv lately...then figured out how to post new thread...duh! My m1009 voltmeter stays on unless I disconnect my batt neg. Tapping on it will make it go down then it will pop back up! I'm gonna start with the voltmeter relay near the ashtray area. I was...
Gotta try to diagnose why my voltmeter stays on with key off tomorrow. I've been disconnecting my battery negative to get it to go off. Guess I will start with the voltmeter relay under the dash near the ashtray area. Anyone else ever have this prob? I would've opened a new thread but...
