Have had an electric temp sensor in place of the glow plug temp sensor on the back of the driver side head for the past 5 years at least. It's been fairly accurate, 180-190s after extended driving. Past few days it's suddenly reading low,not going over 140* ever. Temp goes down to low 100s any...

All the external lights work. It's ok. 35 year old truck always has to have a problem. Let it be this for now Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

I have my old (bad) one. Turns out one of the long bolts that holds the starter together is about 1/4" shorter than what my dead starter had. It was probably always holding on by a few threads and just came apart on its own. Swapped the bolts around .... It started right up Sent from my LM-V600...

You fix one issue, you find another one. I think my starter just grenaded itself. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

Very educational. Thank you for the write ups. I started unwrapping the wrapped harnesses, looked like really old electrical tape, not sure if that's from the factory. Found another loose cheapo wire union. Pulled it off and fixed it properly with heat shrink tubing and some soldering...

Have been all over that sticky for several weekends now Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

Interesting observation from today: Accidentally started the truck without the dash harness plugged in. No squeal at all. As soon as I plugged it in... squeal away. The semi new belts are the notched ones. Gates brand. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

Driving me crazy. My first Alaskan winter. When it started to get cold the alts started to squeal slightly, and Gen2 would stay lit when turning the truck on. A small throttle bump and both would go away. As it got colder the squeal and Gen2 stayed on longer until now only the squeal goes away...

Another up for the copper-nickel brake line. I redid my entire brake system a year or so ago. Got a an inverted flare former, a bag of fittings. Everything was fairly standard and easy. Just don't forget to put the fittings on the brake line before forming the flare Sent from my LM-V600 using...

Right, found my issue sort of. Hackjob wiring is my issue. Random 12v lead spliced to instrument cluster plug. Stock configuration it's not there... *Snip* Issue is solved Parking brake light doesn't work anymore but, for the most part alt is charging correctly. The wait light, 4x4 light...

Regitar USA. Something like that Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

All assembled correctly. The new regulator says USA on it New voltage regulator does not cause squeal. But still not outputting around 14.8v. At least I can drive it and it won't sound like a shit box. Co workers are tired of my "alternate" car and want to see the "big green menace" lol...

Lots of alternator posts from what I can see. Going to add my own. Had a whine coming from one of the alts, couldn't tell which so decided to rebuild both. Rebuilt passenger Alt, no issues. Rebuilt driver alt, whine now appears at higher rpms and output voltage does a yo-yo from 9v to around...

Not my picture, I don't want to take mine apart again, but... There's a large (larger than the other ones) spade connector right behind the bolt in this picture. The wire that connected this to the 12v source on the firewall was bad. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

Holy crap well that nightmare is over. PO replaced a fusible link with this fuse holder. Fuse inside was so melted I couldn't even tell what amperage it was. Fuse holder itself was melted too. No continuity. Guesstimating 15A. We'll see if the link melts This magnetic lead tester was awesome...

I am attempting to return my m1009 to stock wiring (for the most part), with regards to the GP and starting wiring. I am having some issues. What I had and what I've done so far: PO put a 6.5 IP in. It recently died. Got a rebuilt 6.2 IP from Badger Diesel. The 6.5 IP was drawing power from...

I just did mine, in the Fairbanks winter, in my garage. Its not hard and not that easy either. There are videos on youtube. I followed one of them. I did not need to drop trans or jack my front end up, only the flywheel bottom cover had to come off. You may need to manually rotate the engine...

Rear main seal replacement. Old rope seal came apart in my fingers. I could only find about half of the original seal, the rest looked disintegrated. Thought I was about to snap my breaker bar getting those bearing cover bolts out, don't think I've ever seen it bend that much. Only took about 7...

Now that I'm actually in Alaska... Do you have a source for the 205 t-stat? Having trouble finding one. For the rest of it, I ended up adding the 1000w block heater, 80w battery warmer x2, battery charger, 40w fuel filter heater. Found some 24bolt humvee rims with the matching load range e...

Found the source finally. Happened to be sitting in there when a deluge started. The seals between the top and the sides of the bed. Temporary fix for now. After I'm done moving I'll do it properly. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk
