It looks like the glow plug is ok, it fires right back on when I hear the fan bog down as the glow plug comes on. I'll keep experimenting with it. I think the fuel valve might be dirty or need calibrating. I noticed something I don't recall on the M-1031 before now. In the back tool bed the...

I ran into a few snags finishing up the arctic install. I had most of the personnel heater installed and was double checking the manual and realized I hadn't put a rubber elbow and metal tube in the lower heater core coolant line. I pulled out the rear battery box and put them in once I found...

Thanks for the suggestions on the transmission. when I get in there I'll work on the silicone seal. Until then I'll be careful with the heater. I worked on it some more today. It's slow going. I contacted a guy I've bought some CUCV parts from before and he made me a great deal on a battery...
