I just bought mine tonight. $13.88 at napa. Preventive thats my reasoning. Thanks Doghead!

I should do this mod especially since my hood is padlocked down.

I'm calling the card a module, 2 of them acted the same way. I'm going to look into the temp sensor next.

what signal does the module receive to turn the power off to the plugs. I know it gets a signal from the temp sensor whether or not to send power to the plugs, it could be the temp sensor I guess, because when the truck is warm but not yet at operating temp you can get a variable wait light...

The glow plugs don't cycle, they come on when the wait light comes on, the truck starts after I give the glow plugs 10 seconds, the plugs stay on another 30 seconds, then shut off. About 10 seconds after the glow plugs turn off, the wait light then goes out. I had my meter on a glow plug and had...

I forgot to mention that I replaced the glowplug relay and nothing changed. I'll look up under the dash for those other relays. Thanks

My problem was with a M1009. You can't move the crossmember to make it fit in the M1009. M1008 has more room back there but I think I would consider about getting another saddle tank, there was an option for duel tanks.

Hey partime, do't take what I wrote as fact. This is what I'm getting from it all. I'm hoping to see this verified by others that are more knowledgeable than I.

I'm trying to understand this system better. I read through the TM. I have a truck with the resistor bypassed. It would seem that bypassing the big resistor would be a good idea, but thats another thread. What turns the wait light off? It wants to stay on with the truck running. If the module...

Then with the big resistor out of the circuit, voltage can't raise above 12 volts so as a plug fails the resistance in the circuit rises so amps fall because the remaining plugs use less amps and no harm comes to the remaining plugs and the domino effect is lost. What is meant by "it should...

One of my trucks has this disconnected. I have searched and found out that bypassing puts more load on one of the batterys and disables or limits slave starting. I also understand how important it is to keep all your glow plugs working or you will see your voltage rise as each one fails, killing...

When I got this burb I thought good, I read somewhere that this big tank will fit a M1009. Today I dropped my tank and wished I didn't. Twisted off a strap bolt and played half the day putting it all back together. It was my fault for not measuring before I started. The tank will fit between the...

It was diesel. Aside from the filler, I think the actual tank would be the same.

The 40 gal tank out of a suburban I parted out definitely does not fit. I don't know if there was a 40 gal tank made especially for blazers but I can say for certain the suburban tank is too big. The glove box sticker on the Burb stated there was a 40 gal tank in that truck.

We can easily tell when a card goes bad by looking at the burnt component, but do they always show like that or is it sometimes the card looks good, nothing burnt but still be non-functioning?

One thing to remember with your snatch block is it will need to take the full load of whatever you are pulling. If you need the 24k by doubling your 12k winch your snatch block will have 12 tons on it. If it won't hold it it becomes a deadly missile. That is a small snatch block to be rated that...

The rag sounds like something good to try. The problem with any old screwdriver is you have to push in on the door panel as far as the screwdriver handle is thick to get the blade on the clip. Thats why a metal ruler or something like it works well. To put the clip back on when your done, put it...

The door panel will come off and you can push out the dent. Probably the hardest part to get off is the window crank. There is a wire keeper that holds it on. I just use a wide blade screw driver to push it off, watch where it goes. I think there is a tool the pros use. Once you get the handle...

I like the idea of 40 gallons. It should save $. I went to Idaho last weekend and had to pay a .20 premium for buying it there. It adds up. The downside is hauling around the extra weight but you don't need to fill it unless you are going to use it.

Its an adventure. One you won't forget. Time is the limiting factor for me or I'd take one again.
