I doubt while pushing a snow plow you will ever twist your M1009 suspension as much as cucvrus did in Rausch Creek . You won't have the clearance with a plow frame mounted. I have had to hand shovel out my plow trucks many a times because of just minor "miscalculations" of terrain under the...

Not uncommon for the glow plugs to fail in rapid succession. If one goes down the power will increase to the others and burn them out as well. Its known as "The cascade effect"

You have yourself a real golden gem. Looks all original, please if you can try to keep it that way.

I think you should replace the rusted and rotted fuel lines first. That's probably the source of your problems.

The new sensors come with a thread sealant already applied "See photo". As far as your wires are concerned, the sensor acts as a switch. 12 volt in one side and when cold it stays energised "normally closed circuit". As the engine warms up it opens the circuit/switch preventing 12 volt power...

Does it puff any smoke when it skips or surges? It sounds fuel related. Bad/sticky injector? Bad injection pump? Other than the surging the engine sounds strong and I would lean towards a bad/sticky injector. Another thought, Try unplugging the cold advance wire when its warm and idling. Maybe...

Master switch off on the bottom of the battery box?

I think you may have to invest in a ladder

You may have a glow plug temperature sensor that's going bad and it's telling the glow plugs to cycle. When the engine is cold the glow plugs cycle for a short period "30-60 seconds" after start up. That's why you may get fluctuation in the meter. If the temperature sensor went bad it will keep...

Of course we will expect photos after your project is complete.

Do you think someone at customs liked that M1009 more than you think?

For issue # 1 Replace your cold advance temperature sensor located on passengers side rear of engine by the last fuel injector. When engine is cold it always sends power to your cold advance solenoid when the key is on. As engine warms up it opens the circuit and drops power to your cold advance...

So that's where the fraze "Slow boat to China" come from.

I'm recovering from major cervical surgery at the moment. I think I will be mobile enough to get you a photo in about a week. Fold your seat back out of the way and feel the very back top of the base seat through the leather. You will feel a metal rod spanning the back. I didn't want to drill...

And no narrative? Fresh coat of paint and your back in business.

My God, did that truck ever run? If it did it was a ticking time bomb or at least a definite "walk back home" when it failed truck.

german m1008- Obviously all of cucvrus "Built in a Barn" are # 1s. So I can't lay sole claim to that designation. Speaking for all, I assume there will be photos posted of your new ride when it arrives at port. I am anxious to see if it looks as good on German soil as it did on American soil...

I agree fully with Squirt. You need 3 things for internal combustion, gas-air & spark. If you don't have spark you won't have combustion. Replace the condenser and it wouldn't hurt to add new plugs and wires.

I think they are a great idea. As far as the office chairs durability? I've seen some pretty hefty women sit in those type of chairs at my old office.
