Being able to actually check the timing is something being discussed in another thread. Notice, basically nobody knows how to do it or with what tools? That is because it really isn't needed for these engines. Do some of us want to know just because? Yep. If your 1009 starts, drives down...

The -20 manual has a huge 70 some odd page electrical troubleshooting section. Does the heater fan still work? The fuse for it also is part of the charging circuits. Check that fuse and the very bottom fuse on the box which is the 24V fuse for the Alt 2 circuit. follow the -20 and let us...

Same basic comment as Kenny. Have the glow plug card, like it and John is good people.

The only time my 1009 has not started was when I was 60 miles away in the family Suburban with my Scouts and Jennifer had to run to town in the 1009. I could hear the glow plugs cycling on the phone and the starter turning and turning and turning and turning. It made me hurt having to listen...

Parts trucks that became projects that needed other parts trucks. Yep, Green Iron Disease is very harsh. Most of the high ware items are also ones that should be replaced new for safety reasons. I am thinking brakes, suspension and steering parts here. If you are looking at using used parts...

Mine shakes pretty bad in the 600's as well. Take it up to 725-750. Made mine smoother. Of course, a new IP will make it really smooth. Keep that in the back of your head.

What rpm is your idle at? I have the same basic hook up to read rpm. Never even tried to look at the timing with it.

That "port" is the fuel return port. Fuel leaves the pump that way and goes back to the tank.

It has pretty much been covered. Just a few things to add. Brake systems seem to all be bad or about to go on all M35 trucks. The more you drive it, the longer things last and work right. I had new everything in my Gasser M35 in 2008. I drove it 2-3 times a week and never had troubles. I...

My wife will ride in the 1009 and has even asked to drive it a few times. We were invited to go on a ski trip this winter. She asked me if we could take the 1009 instead of her Suburban. Amazed me because she has never even sat in one of the M35's and does not like to ride in, much less drive...

Cool, thanks for confirming that. I have a set of short injectors, but no lines for them besides the older long injector lines.

Your right Chris. That guy does look pretty pizzed that his picture is being taken.

Is that the way it works? Long injector lines on short injectors, but not short injector lines on long injectors. I know one way will cross over, but the other won't. I have enough trouble getting some of my long lines on long injectors to line up and stop leaking that I haven't gone looking for...

You said it isn't tires, yet you describe a tire related vibration. Does it do the vibration power on and power off? Does it stop above a specified speed? You have new drive shafts, what about the ujoints? Front wheel bearings ok? Brake rotors round with brake calipers that actually...

You can pull the hub with the brake drum still attached. Makes things go faster and it is easier to turn the drums in a brake lathe if you are going to get that done.

Put a 7/8 on the injector and then give it just a hair more with the 3/4. If the injector moves, undo the line, tighten the injector and start over on the line. Yes, that is the glass ball fitting. Any trash or gunk in there means the IP needs rebuilt. It is on top, has a rubber hose going...

I don't know about those lines Tom. I got 6 6.2's at the house right now and none of them have the lines on the nut. 1988 is when they were supposed to go to the shorter injectors across the production line. Those injectors need different injection lines than the older long injectors. I...

Estrum, That line is loose at the injector. Use a 3/4 open end to just snug it a little bit tighter. Have you pulled the return line fitting from the top of the IP and checked to see if it is clogged? Clean that out if it is plugged and it should run great again. Of course, that being...

There is no need to replace anything until you take it apart and inspect all the pieces. A new bearing will fail just as fast as an old one if there isn't grease on it, tighten too much or too loose. Take it apart before you buy anything. Unless you just want to have a spare set sitting...

The early 101 trailers never got the same bolt patter as the M715. There was an adaptor made to mount the M715 6 lug on the M37 pattern trailer though. Only used 3 lugs on each side. Not really something you want to go far with. People have put different hubs on 416 trailers so they match...
