So, noticing a big difference in the idle of my truck between park/neutral and drive with the brake on. I know there is going to be some difference due to the load being put on the tranny and drive train, but this is a pretty marked smooth to shaking feeling. Wondering what anyone's thought...

Found em on JC Whitney for 35...I'm gonna do this one correctly as I cannot fathom my personal hatred if I broke that window. Tailgate rear window channel felt: 1JA 193470 35.99 + shipping and tax.

I have a new CDR and engine going in to the manifold...not much, but hey, it burns, right?! All seriousness though, not saying it's good or bad, just now there is someone else out there like you. What's there to figure out but new rings, maybe rehoning, and valve seals? Too much work to...

Good old Latin Kings...it's the Insane Dragons in my neighborhood. They love my truck too. Try and buy it every day. Waiting to wake up and see it gone one morning. I'll sleep well in the winter knowing that they won't know how to start a diesel in the cold! Hitch: It's just a regular...

That's my plan. I'm going to put a forty gallon behind the rear seat and build it in...add heaters, fuel pressure gauge, fuel temp gauge, and tank toggle switch. Most people recommend not starting on veggie oil or shutting down on it...just starting on diesel and then switching over when...

If you have a vacuum gauge it would really help your efforts. They are under $20 at the store versus $150+ for a rebuilt vacuum pump or $95 for a regulator! There are three components for the vacuum regulated shifting on the trans. They've all been named in previous posts...you got the...

I've looked at the LMC site and they are charging $50 per channel with the seal. I have the channels and just am finding it hard to fork over 100 dollars for yet another part of this tailgate. I might just pull the channels, head up to an autobody shop and see if the don't have a u-channel...

Thanks for the tip jimm1009, I will definitely do that...any hints to adding felt to the channels? Just the outside walls? All three? Thanks again. I'll let you know how it goes this week and post any useful insights into the process and into installing a power regulator. I was going to...

Real quick question regarding felt in the channel. I'm piecing together a new back window for my m1009. I have a tailgate, power regulator/motor, glass, track, etc... I have just ordered the weatherstripping for the top of the tailgate but was really lost on what if anything went into the...

You aren't running the all black m1009 with RNUOVER plates I always see down at UIC are you? If so, I covet your tow hitch.

This may sound weird, but it happened to me...a bit different of a sound, but who knows. The diaphragm started going bad on my vacuum pump and at higher rpms started squeaking like that. Have you opened the hood and reved while listening for the sound? If it was the vac pump it would be...

No kidding. Me too. I'm on Mozart right at California and Augusta behind the Clipper. Where you at exactly? Not that it's more than a mile away. We should get together and work on our pieces of crap!

I'm wondering the same thing! To date since getting my m1009 I've: 1. replaced CDR valve 2. replaced engine and trans mounts 3. replaced fuel return lines 4. replaced flex plate 5. replaced harmonic balancer 6. replaced all belts 7. replaced fuel filter/oil filter 8. replaced trans fluid 9...

Got a fan and clutch at the scrap yard for 15 bucks...gonna throw a heavy duty clutch on it in a few days. Much much much quieter. Haven't been on the highway yet though.

I had a pretty bad oil leak at the same spot. Actually, coming down by the starter, coming off the pan, back of the bell housing, etc...was planning on replacing the rear main but read on here about replacing the cdr valve as it is keeping vacuum in the crankcase and without vacuum you have...

David, I have to replace my windshield...any tips? Truck looks fantastic too. Great work on the interior.

Yup. Mine was only damaged at a few points. Just so happened that when I went to bleed that line the starter and flex plate lined up at one of them and when the starter fired, it ground the teeth down so far on the flex that it wouldn't turn (probably due to the fact that one of the starter...

Mine was doing that for a bit...then I changed the fuel filter and went to bleed the line and my flex plate disintegrated into a cloud of metal shavings. Not fun pulling the transmission to replace that. If you take off the bell housing you can inspect the flex plate for worn teeth to make...

Thanks for the info. I'm gonna switch it before I put in new glow plugs. We'll see how well the card is working. Seems silly to be able to run the plugs without the key in the ignition. Never used the card before...I'd assume you just turn the key and wait for the wait light to go off then...

Hey All, It's me again! Tore apart my dash today to see where all wires were going and looked over Karl's glow plug schematic which was extremely useful. Seems PO took off the pink/black wire along with the blue wire from the glow plug relay (see them hanging in the picture). This has been...
