So I have a m1097 with a serial number of 500813 and no year model date here in Texas. What are my options to get a title when there is no model date on my paperwork? I searched for this subject on SS before I asked. Thank you

I wonder why it says to disconnect the glow plug controller?

I found it. And I am going over everything. TY!

Had a new one...still not working. Transmission light still has not come back on. Re-checked battery wiring. All is good. TCM is getting power. FYI - I appreciate all the help.

Don't have a way to check for codes....

AWESOME!!! I have an extra and will try. Thank you brother!

Same thing. This time I replaced the breaker, the TCM, and I made sure the TCM was getting power. Then I just bypassed the breaker. Still in limp mode. 1997 M1097-A2.

Pulling them today.

I was told the same thing by someone on another site...pull the plugs and mix some Marvel and ATF 50/50 and fill those holes up!

I turned to motor over a couple times by using a long handled socket wrench and putting a socket on the crank shaft bolt.

No white smoke. Using the starting fluid should have made the motor kick even if the motor wasn't getting fuel. Yes, the fuel pump is working and fuel was coming out the bleeder valve. I guess at this temp the plugs are not working or creating enough heat to ignite the fuel. Thank you...going to...

Turning over really nice...good pressure coming out of the tail pipe, just won't ignite. Glow plug control box and wait light seem to be working. Used a little starting fluid and still nothing. Not even a stutter...it's in the 80's so it's not cold.

Got it turning over! Oil was dirty, but no metal shavings, water, or antifreeze in the system. Now it's all about getting it started. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

The TM does not cover this well for me, so I need y'all's help. 6.5 Optimizer, New batteries, new starter...Motor turns just enough to make the fan blade move an inch every time I start it, but won't go any further than an inch. Will turning the motor by hand for a while help to un freeze it...

Repaired leak. Just need the right thermostat for the 6.5l non-turbo. Any idea what the OEM numbers are for a new one? I was told the old thermostat was for a 6.2, and that is why I was having troubles...here's the old one...

After pulling the thermostat out and running without one it ran fine. After 5 miles temp was around 190, 10 miles 210 and fan came on and went off as needed. I am considering the upgraded cooling kit. Any thoughts? Also, THANKS EVERYONE who had something to say about this issue. I can now move...

No water in oil...with the photo of it leaking coolant from around the fan, I guess the pump is leaking and the wind from fan is pulling coolant into the area around the shroud...pulling off the side panels to get a better look. But then again, there seems to be a good circulation going to and...

Leaking from behind the fan shroud.....and of course the leak stops when the motor is turned off.

I was thinking blown head gasket too...will check the oil tomorrow to see if I have water in it.
