Yeah 100% wrong.
There is no valve in the pump like that.
What you are describing is a accelerator pump that is inside of the carburetor.
A diesel engine does not have a carburetor or an accelerator pump.

A diesel will start with fluid assist IF you have disabled the GP's or heating grid. A diesel should not be started with fluid if they are not working because you may get a single GP that glows and puts a hole in the block.
Fuel system stays primed with check valves which exist typically in the filter, pump, or IP.

Ok so... My plan of attack should be:
1. Make sure GPs are working.
2. Replace fuel filter with the "spinner mod"
3. ???
4.???

If your truck lacks in the maintenance department or you/previous owner have not tackled it yet I personally would:
-replace all GP's with AC Delco 60's
-bypass resistor and remove
-confirm system cycles correctly according to temperature
-replace all rubber fuel lines
-install a spin on unless your box filter is in absolute perfect condition
-replace lift pump (OEM AC Delco can be had for around $30 on RockAuto, just cheap insurance)
You should be good to go as long as your IP is in decent shape and your starting/charging system functions correctly.

My money is on one of those. If you're losing prime or getting air bubbles in your fuel lines, it's going to be tough to start. But lay off the starter fluid either way. You're flirtin' with disaster. There's usually a sticker on your air filter cover that tells you as much.

Looking on rock auto now. Is the fuel pump the same as the fuel lift pump?

Yes I found that one but I'm looking for an AC Delco based on what the other guys said. Is this it?

If the solenoid is bad to the GP system they will not work either if you need to buy one you can use the same one used for snow plows its much cheaper.
Let's start with the basics. Are you aware that this site provides free copies of all the technical manuals for your truck?
They are located at the top of the page. Click on Technical Manuals
There is a parts manual that lists all the items used on your truck with diagrams and GM part numbers.
Look up the part number for the GM diesel fuel(lift) pump and use it to find a new one/

Just for the record, my comments were only made to relate the hard starting issues of this vehicle to my own experience with a M931A2 thinking fuel prime might be something to investigate. I clearly stated that TMs for the M1009 should be consulted. Sorry if my comments in this thread were construed as being a discussion about M939 trucks; that was not the intent.

Yes sir I looked at the manuals but didn't get that deep yet. I will continue to learn those as fast as I can.
