Ever since I got my M1009 the few times I have ran it, it smokes really bad on start up and runs a little rough until it warms up. The smoke is white and smells like unburnt diesel. I am not losing any coolant so its not a head gasket.
I got a chance today to check the glow plugs with DMM. I pulled the spade plug off of each one and put one probe on the threaded part of the plug and one on the spade.
Here are my results
Driver side front to back
1 - 1.3 ohms
2 - NO READING (infinite resistance?)
3 - NO READING (infinite resistance?)
4 - NO READING (infinite resistance?)
Passenger side front to back
5 - 1.3 ohms
6 - NO READING (infinite resistance?)
7 - 1.3 ohms
8 - 1.3 ohms
Now the driver side exhaust has always had lots more smoke then the passenger side come out until it warms up.
The strange thing is, my truck starts on the first crank with ease. I thought with that many glow plugs out it would be a lot more difficult.
Of course I could have tested them wrong and they may be ok.
I am going to order a new set any way and a tool to remove them. I am also gonna check the gp resistors and stuff and see if they are operating properly before i put the new set in.
