So after sitting for over 7 years, I finally got my 85 M1009 running.
She came to me without either of the alternators, dead as can be batteries and with a bad starter.
Got the starter replaced and she cranked.
Drained the fuel tank, changed oil and filter and got her turned over and running.
I am noticing some fuel delivery issues - when i accelerate and then just let off the gas, she dies immediately. But starts right back up with no effort.
I took a look around the injector pump area, and am noticing some "sweating" in the area under the intake manifold. I know the seals on it are probably definitely shot and needs to be rebuilt.
I know i can save a few bucks if i have pump rebuilt, but will have to wait for it. Does anyone know of/can recommend any place I can send mine into for service?
Or would it just be better to order a new one and use mine as a core? Can anyone recommend where to order one?
I read somewhere in a post (cant remember which one) where a member stated he used a slightly different model and that's giving him some better fuel economy on his CUCV - is that possible? If so, what model pump would maximize MPG without sacrificing performance (ha)?
Also, if I am replacing the imjector pump, would it be good measure to get in new/rebuilt injectors in there too?
I got this truck 2 months ago and do not know any history of it other than it sat since 2013/2014. It's in pretty good shape and sounds pretty good, so i want to say it has 100,135 since the odometer shows 00135. Not much rust and motor sounds good when it's running. Obviously needs all new hoses, belts ,etc.
