Well Squibbly I forgot you have an M1009 and I'm always thinking about an M1008. So with different gearing in yours I can't really relate to what the shift points would be. Peace.

Those speeds would be to high for me. Mine shift at 15 to second and 25 to 35 to third depending on how I drive. If you like the other shift points thats good for you.

It did cross my mind that it didn't sound quite right, but it is what it is.

I nominate Squibbly, he is handy and more talented.

I think over time based on the condition of the motor your timing might need adjusting to compensate. I may be wrong on that I am not sure. I think every vehicle is different and the sweet spot and the timing position can vary. Just my opinion.

As you have stated there is a part that can be made or purchased to perform this procedure. If your vehicle runs well under every driving condition during acceleration then your probably good. If the truck seems to wind out longer in first gear or the RPM seems to high in 3rd gear then your...

Having to move the VRV maxed out fully forward seems extreme based on my experience with mine. Mine is not near being maxed out for the correct shift points. I don't know why that would be but for comparison purposes maybe others can respond where their VRV is set.

You are working on adjusting your shift points and if your timing is to far advanced or is not set at the proper position it would be better to correct your timing prior to adjusting your shift points. Mine are set at 15 in first to second 25 to 35 depending on how I drive into 3rd. Shifting at...

Your timing marks are how you set your timing. You have one on your injection pump, open the hood and look down on the base of the front of your injection pump and you will see a line stamped into the steel of your pump. Right in the same place you will see another similar line stamped into the...

Good job, I started having trouble with mine and at the time I could not fine parts or a new one, It just made sense to me to convert it to a spin on. I do live in Southern Ca. so I didn't miss the heater. Apparently from posts I have read these vehicles will start in extreme cold without the...

Nice job on those rockers. I can't tell where the repair is.

Good observation, I believe you have got it dialed in.

Have you tried cycling the glow plugs twice before starting?

Good job!

That fitting looks like it may work fine. Where did you find the regulator? Thanks for the PM

Cool, thanks

I could go for one of those.

The white instrument housings are not available.

So you should you unplug the wire before bleeding your brakes? Or does the button react from the pressure in the system? And the wire is for the dash light only.

Is that a button that equalizes the pressure in the braking system, and does it light a dash light if there is a problem?
