    Is there a "normal" glow plug cycle time?

    Didn't the TM tell you what action steps to take as a result of your malfunction?

    removing 6.2l injectors

    When I replaced my injectors, I used this: Amazon.com: OTC 5060 Detroit Diesel Injector Socket: Automotive Yeah, it's a little on the spendy side but I didn't want to risk buggaring up my new injectors -- or messing up my cores, for that matter. It's a really nice tool because you can put...

    Looking for second opinion on low power

    I never tried "cleaning" mine. I went straight for rebuilt. It's kind of a pain to take out the injectors and bleed the steel lines so I decided that if I was taking them out, then I was going to put rebuilt in. Also the rebuilt ones were only around $150 or so. Note that apart from carbon...

    Question on Ignition start bypass to push button

    I would advise that you approach the diagrams as a bit of a skeptic. You don't know if any other bubba-the-electrician wiring was done in there. Most likely the diagrams match your vehicle 98% but it's that questionalble 2% that could be harboring your issue.

    Two thumbs down for any company that spells HMMWV as "HUMVEE"

    Draining rear battery

    If you have Fleet Farm stores in your area, you can pick up alternator rebuild kits there. I picked one up for 100 am 27SI rebuild for $16 or so (I don't remember the exact price, but it was quite reasonable). I haven't used the rebuild kit yet, though. I know it said "Made in USA" so that...

    Warn PN64402 or Powerplant on 84 M1009

    $4k for a winch? Your truck isn't even worth that much.

    Air shocks for small lift ?

    Just put on a set of 33x12.5R15's and be done. I'm running BF Goodrich All Terrain/TA's in that size on my M1009 and there are no clearance issues. Also there are a lot of threads out there on lift. I recall one where a guy used a 2" lift kit from Rough Country, so there is such a thing as...

    Insuring a CUCV (protecting an Investment)

    Liability only coverage and "just don't get into an accident" are my plans. I think that runs me about $118 twice a year.

    fuel injector rebuild kit

    For the price, it's hard to beat a "professionally rebuilt" set. I got mine for roughly $150 after core refund. They were rebuilt Bosch injectors.

    Nashville TN

    I would take off the flywheel inspection cover and see what's going on with the starter gear and the flexplate ring gear. IIRC, it's held on with 6 bolts so it's not too difficult to take off (can be kind of a PITA to get around the steel lines for the transmission, though). Probably goes...

    Fuel leak and priming help question for new M1009 owner

    Changing that mechanical lift pump is a real pain in the rear. I believe there's a troubleshooting procedure in the TM to check if it's working. Something about catching the fuel over a specified amount of time and measuring the quantity. Note if the diaphram inside the pump is shot, you may...
