It could be that I just vastly underestimated how difficult it is to purge the air from the system. I keep hearing how it's tough but it didn't prepare me for it, maybe. I've tried pulling the glow plugs and cracking open lines. I get diesel fog from the glow plugs holes while it cranks. I did...

Well, let's hope I got a good pump from them, lol. Gonna look over everything again, including fuel flow and glow plugs. And get a video of how it almost starts. Thanks to everyone giving me feedback on this. I'd be far worse off if it weren't for this site and all you guys giving me advice.

I'll try to get a video tomorrow and post it. If I can avoid paying labor I'll be thrilled. And honestly I hate the idea of putting in the effort I have and admit defeat, lol. What frustrates me is that it sounds like it's so close to starting.

Ordered the pump from diesel care in memphis, TN. Looks like new. Since I'm out of ideas here it will probably have to be towed someplace to be looked at, unfortunately.

Rechecked the lines, everything back together, still no start. It sounds like it fires on a cylinder or two but won't actually catch. I'm back where I started. About the only part of the fuel system I haven't looked at is the injectors. Can't see how so many would fail from the truck sitting for...

Gonna recheck everything and bleed it again. It's probably something really simple that will leave me mad at myself when I realize what it is.

Other than the air in the fuel issues, it gave me no trouble. It finally got to where it didn't start at all and the pump was leaking everywhere. It didn't miss, no odd sounds, nothing. If it's something else, it showed up at the exact same time the pump died. I'm pretty sure I didn't do...

I loosened the nuts at the injectors and had fuel dripping, but it's possible that there was still quite a bit of air with it. Gonna try that when I get home from work. Like I said, it was the exhaust from the intake that worried me. Hard to believe how much there was, but again I'm...

Tank is half full with fresh fuel. It isn't cold enough here to gel. The lift pump is new, and while I expected to have a lot of air to push out of the system it is possible I underestimated just how much that would take. I've only ever seen exhaust from an intake once before, and it was due to...

I didn't see how I could have the timing 180 degrees off, either. The bolt pattern on the gear isn't evenly spaced, so it seems there's only one way to get the pump back on. Even if the engine was rotated, there's only one way to mount the pump, and that puts it in line with the cam. Unless I'm...

So after having issues with what seemed to be air in the fuel lines, I've replaced lines, filters, and lift pump. Each seemed to fix the issue for a couple days, and eventually turned into not starting at all. The injector pump began dripping fuel from everywhere, though, so now I have a new...

My 6 month old son has been riding in my 1009 since he was born. The seat straps in just fine and the sound of the 6.2 usually puts him to sleep within 5 minutes.

Recently, I noted a problem with the signal on my 1009. The right turn indicator is on, and the passenger front signal won't flash. This only occurs when the headlights are on, and the bulb is lit but will not flash. I have replaced the bulb socket and chased and cleaned every ground I could...

Try one of those satellite offices... they aren't really MVD but they contract to do titles and registration. My M1009 title and reg took about 5 minutes. There's one up here in Kingman on Stockton Hill road set up in a title loan place.

I am also interested in this unit. Got some extra cash coming in next week and just might pick one up, but I'd like to see how well it works before I spend for it.
