I got the truck cranked and it's idling now. I cranked it again with the glow plugs hooked up and it idled extremely high again and I shut it down. I then took the air filter out of the breather assembly and tried again. The truck cranked without a high idle: maybe there was residual ether in...

I hpoe you're right--but this idle sounded more intense than an air-in-the line type idle. I just checked the glow plugs and they aren't melted or swollen but the tips on about half of them are deformed by about .01". Is that normal wear and tear? The GP's are about six months old. Still...

I just tried cranking the truck with ether--small shot and then waited about 5 min-- for about 5 minutes with no luck. I then re-connected the GP's and the truck cranked but idled extremely high, so there must have still been ether in the system. I immediately shut the truck down--it only...

This truck is my daily driver and has always been reliable, (except for the fuel guage). I've noticed that when the fuel is low and I apply the brakes hard it causes the truck to catch air. My fuel tank is 1/2 full with diesel I just bought from a store with high fuel turnover at the pumps...

Yep, I've a good solid stream with no air from the filter to the passenger fender. The truck has run out of fuel before and that stream of fuel will sputter be full of air. My remedy for that problem has been to disconnect the glow plugs and turn the engine over until I get a good stream of...

I tried the pink wire and I heard the click. Beetle, when you say take the lines off at the injectors, do you mean the metal line or the two black rubber lines? Also, I had the glow plugs disconnected in preparation to try and crank with ether and when I turned the key to check the pink wire...

thanks guys. I'll go try both now.

no white smoke from the pipes. how do I check for power at the pink wire? I just put some injector cleaner through the tank on the last tank of diesel; could that be the problem? the fuel guage on this truck is off, consequently, I have run out of diesel before and the RPM runs high when that...

Hey guys, I'm sure this has already been addressed, but I can't figure how to word the search. My m1008 cranked fine just now, but the RPM dropped a couple of times and then the engine quit. I'm getting plenty of fuel flow at the bleeder valve, the truck turns over fine, new glow plugs, air...
