    M1009 transmission not working properly

    Thanks Ryan! My pump feels weak I think (having nothing to compare it too). Pulled the line off while engine was running and heard no vaccum. Stuck it to my finger but barely. Just starting to run low on funds for this project after motor, batteries, paint, ect., ect., ect.

    M1009 transmission not working properly

    Thanks cliffy. If the vaccun pump is a problem wouldn't you still be able to manual shift second? I may be dealing with multiple issues here. I am going to wind up with a 30 y/o new truck if I don't slow down!

    M1009 transmission not working properly

    Not my first rodeo work on old chevy trucks Just got to get used to the 24 volt system and diesel. I run diesiels in a charter boat but they are old 4-53 detriots. No glow plugs. Just forward and reverse trans. Nothing fancy. very old school.

    M1009 transmission not working properly

    Haha yep no vaccum pump on a hummer motor!!! That is why I used my old one and IP! Since I didn't have the ecm or 4l80e (or whichever the hummer runs). Oh and the oil pan! Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated! Been at the truck non-stop for 2 weeks. Replacing all hoses, cleaning...

    M1009 transmission not working properly

    So the vaccum pump should be creating alot of vaccum? would that prevent even a 2nd gear start? Or manual upshift?

    M1009 transmission not working properly

    That is what I was thinking but.... First diesel/first mv. Just dropped a hummer motor in it. Farm fresh with blown motor. Know chevys. Know gas motors just going through a few things for the first time! Enjoying it!!!

    M1009 transmission not working properly

    I too am struggeling with mine (m1009). No 2nd or 3rd upshifts. Solid in first and reverse, tried manually shifting with no success. Fluid is level good and clean. Vaccum seems pretty week off the pump. Suction barely holds the tube to my finger. Hmmmaua
