    M1009 Lights Work, Won't Start--Nothing when you turn key

    I had this problem several years ago. Truck was running, blower motor on high. Truck died and would not start. Blower motor would not work. Fusible link coming from 12 volt diamond in center of firewall was blown, but looked fine. Had to pull on it pretty hard for it to come apart. This 12 volt...

    M1009 Battery Disconnect Switch??

    Get some whiz nuts for this. The flange gives you more surface area to make the connection. And the nubs on the flange help keep them tight.

    Connect the solid fuel line to pump before tightening the pump mounting bolts. Makes it a lot easier!

    Fuel

    How many miles are these trucks actually being driven in a year? It will probably be cheaper in the long run to run on good clean diesel with a proven diesel additive. It will start better, run better, and last longer and be more enjoyable to drive without having to fix all the problems that the...

    M916A1 vs dead tree

    Nice job! I would go ahead and remove (so you can control the direction they fall) all trees right next to the building to prevent future damage.

    Oil Plug Above Filter Removal

    Look for a 3/8" drive external pipe plug socket the right size. Or an oil drain plug socket set will have the right size. They will fit it tight.

    Cold Weather Start

    All my diesel engines start better because the additive raises the cetane rating and they run quiter with the additive because the close tolerances are lubricated properly in the pump and injectors. I do not believe in waiting until diesel gels to try to remedy the problem either!

    Cold Weather Start

    One thing to consider here is ULSD begins to gel at about 12* F and bio diesel begins to gel at about 30* F. This is quite a bit of difference. The diesel will be ok in say a full tank but when it moves thru the smaller lines into the filter it gets colder and then plugs the filter.

    M101A2 trailered home from auction. This is why.

    Try heating the screws just enough to melt a candle good when touched to them. If you can get the right temperature the wax will melt and follow the threads down. Let the wax set up a little bit before trying to remove them. If the wax flows in correctly it will expand and the screw will come...

    (Redacted) CUCV Tailgate bolt

    I appreciate the useful information on locating these bolts at Lowe's. However the drill sgt quote using God's name in vain should not be in print on SS. Steel Soldiers is above this I believe!!

    Cold Weather Start

    I use Arctic formula Power Service in every tank during the winter and regular Power Service the rest of the time. You need the lubrication year round and the anti gel in the cold weather!
