thanks everyone

hello all, on the advise of warthog (thank you) I have been troubleshooting my electrical system issues and am looking for an ignition switch. the part referenced to in the -32 is under section 4-13 item #9. Is this a part I can get from napa? Also what do I ask for? I am assuming that...

I was wondering about the ignition switch. I just downloaded the -34 and will see how to replace it. Is it a standard GM part? Thanks again for the help. Tom

I was finally able to get some time to work on my truck this weekend. Here is what I had. I was getting good voltage on the batteries. At the starer relay I was getting 24 volts. At the fuse box however I had the following. All of the red wires comming in has 12 volts on them. However...

the 30 amp fuse in the fuse block lower right corner it was melted as well as the fuse block. I'll see what happens tonight and try to get some pictures. I appreciate the offer for help warthog and I'll probably have some questions as I get more of this pulled apart.

got home last night, the batteries were dead and The fuse for the glow plugs was melted. At least I have an idea where to start. I unhooked all the glow plug wires and am charging the batteries, hopefully it will turn over and I can get to work repairing the glow plug system.

thanks warthog, I forgot I had downloaded the -20, looks like my wife gets some time in the truck while I whip out the mulit-meter. I appreciate your help with my novice questions.

thanks barrman, just curious I know where the relay is for the starter but where is the solenoid. I know there is one on the drivers side of the firewall, is that it or do I need to look elsewhere? Thanks

Hey I have a m1009, that is my daily driver. This morning I go out to start it and get a nothing other than a clicking noise and the battery indicator going from the green to the red. I noticed I could not move any of the fan belts, do you guys think it's a hung/bad started? It had not ever...

has anyone had good luck with oem surplus in WI? They have the whole assy pretty cheap I was thinking of just ordering the whole thing, I need to change the filter soon anyway.

Question for everyone. I had the bleeding screw break off on the fuel filter. Is this a findable item at a napa store? does anyone know a part # or the thread size and pitch. Also any ideas as to removing the old one, I was thinking an easy out but I figured I'd ask the experts first...

wish I was closer, I've been where you are, it sucks. Good luck

after doing dommino's for about a year in a crappy town, the only way I would deliver Pizza again is in a deuce with a .50 on top.

I was shocked to find out that these are not too rare of a tire. I found a good spare in a junk yard until I can order some new ones, for $15.00 mounted I figured why not.
