    Cold Start = FULL THROTTLE IDLE??? (New Injection Pump Just Installed)

    I'm trying to figure out how the Cold Advance "doo hicky" works on the Injection Pump... Just had my Injection Pump rebuilt (I went with O-F-I out of Eugene Oregon). After installing the Injection Pump, I plugged my block heater in to help warm up the motor and oil so that when I cranked it...

    Warning Lights - Oil and Temp. HOW TO TEST SENSORS?

    RND-MS, THANKS FOR THAT... Westech, I know I could probably spend the 30 minutes pulling up the TM and tracing it out -- but there are so many 1009 owners on here that sometimes it's better to ask, . chances are someone has dealt with this already and knows exactly what the issues are...

    Warning Lights - Oil and Temp. HOW TO TEST SENSORS?

    M1009. Lights come on (key on engine off) as normal. Since I have the motor torn apart waiting on Injection Pump rebuild - is there an easy way to test the sending units for these lights? I KNOW I have had this thing overheat before... Was blowing black smoke for 20 minutes up a 4,000...

    filler neck cap

    Civy model (not CUCV) will fit but DOES NOT have the breather... The breather is part of the CDR setup on the CUCV... I think someone said it was a "backup plan" in case CDR clogs... (not sure...) However, the CIVY model filler cap works on the oil tube- it just doesn't have a vent - so check...

    Radiator

    I got mine from 1800-radiator... They get mixed reviews, but I use my truck as a daily driver and after 3 years in the mountains (-10 to 30* in winter and around 50-80* in summer) it hasn't given me any trouble at all. Radiator was like $229 it is STEEL and not cheapo plastic. It was an...

    Marine Injectors? Does this require a different Injection Pump?

    Source for injectors??? Thanks for the heads up on the chinese parts... I had read about that in a few other threads... Are there any reccomendations for shops which rebuild injectors??? I would do it myself but I don't have a bench to flow test them or test pop pressure. Looking for a...

    Marine Injectors? Does this require a different Injection Pump?

    Hey thanks for the suggestions. I will NOT be adding a turbo (at least for now) -- So maybe I should stay away from the Marine Injectors? My goal was to make my truck run smooth and sound right --- While it was running smooth anywhere above 5-10mph, it had started to sound like a can of...

    CDR Valve: Anyone ever find a source ??? how to test?

    During my quest to have the injection pump rebuilt, I noticed I should probably replace my CDR valve... When I disconnected the hose from oil filler neck from the CDR valve, about 2 ounces of nice blue diesel oil came pouring out of the valve (hey at least it was CLEAN oil;-)) I remember...

    Need Some Advice. Bet None of You Have Had This Happen

    I agree... for $100 it's worth it - even at $300 (if you have to pay him $200 to do the paperwork)... On a side note, that same thing happened when I bought my M1009... The tread separated from the tire when I test drove it after towing it home!

    Which Injection Pump for M1009 (85')???

    Thanks for the reply... And for the recommendation. I think you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned only wanting to tear it down once... By no means was it overwhelmingly hard to remove the pump - but it was very tedious and time consuming. I couldn't agree more that the shop I pay...

    Which Injection Pump for M1009 (85')???

    AND WHO IS THE MOST AFFORDABLE AND REPUTABLE REBUILDER? I am getting pretty frustrated with conflicting information from 1 rebuilder to another. I am willing to mail the pump out for rebuild - I just want a quality job using the correct specs when it comes to bench flowing for specs. Im...

    Marine Injectors? Does this require a different Injection Pump?

    I just pulled my injectors, and the injection pump planning on having them rebuilt... Then doing some research here on the forums I saw suggestions for turning the IP up 1/6 turn and adding Marine Injectors. I found out that stock M1009 injectors have a popping pressure of like 1900lb and I...

    IS THIS BAD? Compression Test Results - Using STE/ICE -R

    I did NOT do the test "wet" as that would be cheating :) I suppose there might be more lubrication about when the motor is running, but I had it warmed up pretty good when I ran the test (left it idling for 20 minutes just prior to testing).
