    M1009 Will Not Start

    It was the fuel Pump. Did this all from under the truck. The tools to use are a standard sized 3/8 ratchet with a deep barrel 11 mm socket for the pump bolts and a 1/4 inch ratchet with a metric socket to get the plate off to get to the push rod. I did put the push rod in the freezer and used a...

    M1009 Will Not Start

    Thanks CUCVLover. Yes stock fuel filter. I don't know how to do the above checks but I guess I will have to learn how. Plan on putting on a screw on filter just have been fixing other things that needed to be fixed. Have the WIX parts and connectors have to make a bracket and get some new fuel line.

    M1009 Will Not Start

    This truck is driving me Crazy. As soon as I fix one thing it's something else. It has always started well. I did a 12 volt conversion and had some electrical problems that I fixed with help here. The new starter turns it over better than the old one. It was a little hard starting in that it...

    Volt Meter Connections for Rosscommon Conversion Single Alt.

    You gentleman are the best. I will try to digest this new information. I wired the light and gage exactly as I found them wired to the old gage and old gage light. The wires I wiggled where the ones to the light up in the dash. I didn't mess with the relay wires. All I did was check voltage at...

    Volt Meter Connections for Rosscommon Conversion Single Alt.

    Warthog your help is greatly appreciated. Checked the connector for the relay and I do have power to a pink/blk stripe wire with the ignition switch on. There is a black/white stripe wire and 3 other black wires going into the connector. 2 of the black wires come together to the same connector...

    Volt Meter Connections for Rosscommon Conversion Single Alt.

    Thank you Warthog. The meter was dead. I thought it might be the meter and not the wiring. I thought there may be a reason the new meter wouldn't work due to diodes or something for the 24 volt system. You answered that question. I will "try" to figure out the wiring diagram and hopefully fix...

    Volt Meter Connections for Rosscommon Conversion Single Alt.

    Thank you gentleman. Is there a reason that the original wiring won't work. I know it was set up for 24 volts so I assume there is something there that might cause it not to work.

    Volt Meter Connections for Rosscommon Conversion Single Alt.

    Thanks rsh4364 said with a laugh. I was hoping to install it to the original wiring connections. Already have the light working using the original wires. Do you have a suggestion for a + that is only active with the key on? I could use one of those splice connectors and run a wire from it to the...

    First I would like to thank "rsh4364" and "cucvrus" for responding to my post for help. I finally skinned the bear today thanks to all the incredible information many of you have placed here on this web site.

    Glow Plug System Problem

    Got my starter problem fixed. I pulled the new start switch out and found it had power and when manually selecting start the Dog Head relay worked. I did open up the wiring harness to check the wires to the start switch and other wires on the steering column. I am guessing the old start switch...

    Glow Plug System Problem

    I replaced the 16ga fusible link wire on the red wire to the starter relay and the 2 wires on the 12 volt harness block on the fire wall. I have power to the Dog head starter relay red wire and good continuity on the purple wire from the dog head relay to the starter solenoid. I have power to...

    Glow Plug System Problem

    This is just a junction for the 12 volt power cables, there is nothing behind it that connect to the bolts on the front???? The reason I ask is I am going to replace the fusible links and one of the connectors in the picture connects to both post. Since I converted it to 12 volts can I put a...
