    Best way to check prime?

    I will go research. Just out of curiosity, if the IP is getting power, which it is since I tested it with a light, and the solenoid was bad which could happen. Where would I put the jump wire to so that I was bypassing the soleniod? I haven't done much research on the IP but I saw was the two...

    Just bought a 1990 M923A2

    Funny, I passed you on Thursday night between Grants and Albuquerque. I thought to myself, lots of weight. I was wondering where that came out of. Glad you made it. I won't criticize about what you did. I think everyone of us have traveled over loaded, otherwise I bet you never ran over a scale...

    Ok so then I think the Glow Plugs are shot. But what an I missing to getting this thing started?

    Best way to check prime?

    Ok, I thought I had read somewhere on here that when you turn the switch to run, the light was supposed to come on and blink for a short period and then shut off. I also thought that if it stayed on that meant there was an issue. If I understand you correctly, the light should come on solid for...

    I am, but I thought that was the KDS which sends signal to the GPC and that is what makes the click. Then the light blinks for about 7 seconds. I will double check that it is the IP later tonight.

    I read here somewhere that you should crack the right rear, so i completely disconnected it. I have not been able to get anything. Yep, I learned that the hard way in my younger years about starters.

    So here is where I am at. The tank is about half full, of fresh diesel. The truck was last started at inspection prior to auction in Sept of last year. It was empty per the gauge when I got to it. There is power to both wires on the top of the IP and to the glow plugs. The glow plugs when put...

    No I can't say that I really smell fuel at the exhaust, nor do I see any smoke. I have not been able to get any fuel to come out of the injector lines. I will put a clear hose on the return of the IP as mentioned previously by others.

    Admittedly this is my first go around. The "control box" you reference is the one I have read about under the dash by the left knee of the driver? The one there is the KDS with the yellow sticker. Also the temp gauge on the back is the yellow one. I am assuming that all of it is connected...

    Yep I think that is the problem.

    Best way to check prime?

    After further researcher here, I decided to test the plugs. I know they are getting power, via a test light. I put an ohm test to them. I grounded off of the block, and pulled each boot separately and each one says 0.00. It is my understanding that they are supposed to read 2.0? Does this mean...

    I had rigged a way to do it by myself so that there was pressure while cranking.

    Best way to check prime?

    With the pressure I have added to the system via the filler neck, fuel dumps out of the strainer at the filter. Still nothing though.

    Best way to check prime?

    The return line is the single hose that is connected to the 2 hard lines at the front of the motor and plugs into the top of the motor, correct? No fuel in the top of the manifold as a leak would be. I do have 2 lines cracked right as them come out of the injector pump. I have been at it almost...

    I did that yesterday but I will give it another shot

    Best way to check prime?

    The glow plugs have power, the injector pump has power and I cracked the 2 lines that at the top as they are the only ones accessible with out removing the manifold. I have been cranking on it pretty good for just over an hour and still nothing. I did notice a little wetness out of one of the...
