I finally got my 1008 on the road it has a strange anomaly with the engine I cant figure it out so I will see if anyone else has had this happen. I installed a new IP got the pump from my friends diesel shop he does good work on his rebuilds. I put the pump on and noticed a lot of surging at...
I have a set of six 16 inch dually rims that will need to be picked up from the municipal yard in a week or two. I will need them to be put on a pallet which I would be happy to pay for the time and effort then I will arrange for a truck to pick them up any help would be appreciated. If unable...
I'm trying to buy a utility bed for the 1008 I bought a while back I found a good one in Albertsville and wondered if anyone was close enough to give it a look over. I found it on craigslist and am a little uneasy about paying someone for something I have not seen except in pictures and sending...
My high idle on the 1009 does not kick down even when warm I have it disconnected until I figure what is wrong with it. The plunger seems to stick you can manually push it back in when the truck is warm is there a way to lube them up or should I be looking for a replacement?
Problem is and wont end here the car driver was at fault period I drive a semi truck and a good part of my day constitutes avoiding dumb a$$e$ who cannot leave their phone alone. They will go after the deuce driver and now that someone has died because of his own fault life for him will never be...
That's why the manufacturer of my skid steer does not recommend using bio diesel I just went and got 10 gallons on non bio diesel yesterday. Its 20 cents more expensive because like bio diesel its not government subsidized but way less problems especially in the winter.
You have to be careful with them I have literally knocked little kids off their feet in parades with them the K5LLA is the loudest horn Nathan Airchimes makes.
Does anyone have a PN or source for the oil fill tube grommet I had to change out the IP on this 1008 I just got and they had it siliconed in because they ripped the back flange off of it. I usually get rid of the CDR valve and hoses and take a three foot piece of one inch heater hose and make a...
I figured that was going to be the answer I may just convert the truck to 12 volts like I just did with the 1008 be about the same amount of money to buy a 12 volt starter.
I was going through the search to see if any of the threads covered the generator 1 light issue occurring with the 1009 and none quite matched up. As its gotten colder when I start the truck the gen 1 light lights up when I hit the accelerator the charge gauge jumps up into the green but the...
Got the electrical system figured out today some bad wires were the culprit now onto the next hurdle. Changed out the fuel filter good pressure to the IP and no start not even trying to start so I loosened the lines on the injectors no fuel even after cranking. Going to put the leaky pump I...
Everything clean new cable ends I had the starter off to have it checked I'm sure it there where the problem is only one click at the relay everytime the key is turned no chattering at the starter its self.
I got my alternator through bolt today installed the driver side alternator on the passenger side wired up everything following the Roscommon 12 volt conversion and nothing. I have power to the gauges, GP relay but when I turn the key you can hear the starter relay click once but nothing to the...
I removed the D/S alternator to use on the P/S wouldn't fit until I realized the lower bracket was turned upside down. I flipped it over everything is good but need the long through bolt for the lower mount looks like it may be metric the search is on.
Take a flashlight and check and see if the valley is wet under the intake manifold the IP will start leaking and fuel running down the top of a warm engine really smells. It will leak and run down toward the back of the block where there is a drain hole then runs down the trans bell housing it...
