    Long Cold Start Cranking

    There are 2 temp sensors? One for the glow plugs and the one on the right block for the injector pump? The way you describe it below 40 degrees is exactly that. It fires, but immediately dies. It acts like it is working to build fuel pressure...as in bad check valve or weak fuel pump. If...

    Long Cold Start Cranking

    So...what's the best box to buy? Is there a way to test it? Also, here is a thought. If the box and glow plugs don't even last 500 miles, and the truck starts instantly without them above 40 degrees, and just a little slow when cold...then the question is, why not get rid of the glow plugs...

    Long Cold Start Cranking

    The glow plugs are less than a 500 miles old. Above 40 degrees is starts great. Below 40 degrees is takes a ton of cranking. It acts like an old gas car trying to get the fuel back in the bowls...and that's why I ask about a weak fuel pump. Is there a lift pump?

    Long Cold Start Cranking

    In warm weather and if the truck's been running in the last couple hours it cranks and starts instantly. If the air temperature is below 40 degrees and you are starting it for the first time of the day, I have to crank it for at least 30 seconds, getting several "bumps" before it finally takes...

    SF97?

    It's sad they can't grease the skids for this process. Since they have the money up front, all the SF paperwork should be submitted at the same time the EUC is sent. They told me they won't in case, "the HMV becomes abandoned". Sorry...if the money was paid up front that is a lame excuse. I...

    SF97?

    What an ordeal! FInally, 9 months after purchase, I have the HMV titled and registered to drive. It was a close call at the tax office. The clerk shoved a "military vehicle" form at me. As I started to fill it out, I asked if there were any restrictions..."only to and from parades and...

    SF97?

    Got the email today that the title is on the way...23Jun22. The Govplanet website still says "in process" LOL. 9 months. Guess I can go get another inspection now?!?

    SF97?

    Great news! I checked and mine still says in progress, but it must be in the same batch?!?

    SF97?

    So we're all in the same boat... I took a month to fix everything and got the safety inspection. Now I'll have to get another since it's only good for 3 months.

    SF97?

    Today marks 9 months since I paid for my M1123. Still no SF97. If I had a dollar for every time GP told me "just one more week", I'd have the truck paid off. Is anyone else having this kind of trouble getting the Paperwork?

    Interesting thread. Thanks for all the feedback!

    Power steering pump noise

    It's definitely the power steering, not the fan. I'll have to look to see which I have...

    Power steering pump noise

    Just making sure this is normal...The power steering makes a hissing sound all the time, until the steering hits the limit stop, then it changes tone, but still rather loud. It's funny that, in such a loud vehicle, the power steering is loud enough to hear over the diesel.

    Softer Springs

    I took mine out just to get it some exercise (still waiting for the SF97 in 4th month). If I drive at 20mph over our grocery store speed humps I get air, LOL. Haven't had time to get into the spring issue, but will at some point.

    Current EUC Wait Time

    I didn't think we need appointments to register in Texas...I've been in Texas most of my life, and that's a first. I've waited a couple hours in line, but never needed an appointment. Things just keep getting better!?!
