Just installed new injection pump and new injectors. Now it won't run at all. It will start, idle rough and pour white smoke out the exhaust, then will stall. I've tried over and over and it won't idle smooth and stay running. I also installed a spin fuel filter and electric fuel pump. What's...
I just noticed on one of my m1009s that the metal clamps/clips that attach the metal injector lines to the intake manifold are missing. Is this something I should worry about?
I'm in the process of putting on a new IP. I removed the intake manifold and stuffed the holes with some rags to keep crap from going in there. I didn't think about the actual bolt holes though, and washed out all the crap that has accumulated in the engine valley. I noticed that most of the...
I'm pretty sure the IP is toast. But to make sure, I need some second opinions. M1009 died while driving and would fire right back up then idle rough and die again. I cleaned out the fuel return valve, which was clogged, then it ran fine for a couple hours. Then it did the same thing. I...
The other day my 1009 suddenly lost power and stalled. It would crank right back up, then blow out a lot of smoke, then stall gain. I removed the fuel return valve and found it clogged with small pieces of coffee ground looking pieces of something. I broke out the glass ball and reinstalled it...
The other day my m1009 shut off and would start back up and idle rough, blowing out a lot of smoke through the exhaust. Through here I found out that the fuel return valve on the IP was clogged. I removed it and took the glass ball out of it, the valve was clogged. I reinstalled it and drove it...
I need some help. I driving down the highway and all of a sudden, I had loss of power and had to pull over. The m1009 started idling rough and blowing blue smoke out of the exhaust. I let it sit for a minute an started it and it drove fine for another 30 miles, then it did the same thing...
First off, I know to look at the tm, but I'm away from a computer (posting from phone) for a week or so and I can't look up the manual. I have press the pedal hard to the floor for it to downshift while trying to pass someone. Is there a way to adjust the kickdown on the th400?
I just turned off my ignition and removed the key. But then after about 1 second, the gen 1 light and oil light on the dash turned on and has stayed on. When I start it back up, the lights go out as normal. As soon as I turn the key off, those lights come back on and stay on. Any ideas?
Just picked up a new to me m1009. When you first start it up the power steering works fine. After driving it around for a few minutes and warming up the steering pump starts making noise and the steering wheels gets harder to turn. Also, the when you try press the brake pedal hard, a loud...
I won one of the m1009s on govdeals.com that were located in TN. From the pictures, one of them looked pretty bad, the other looked pretty good. I won the one that looked pretty good. Fromt the ad, it says the batteries are missing so it doesn't run. As far as I can tell from the pics, it looks...
The m1009 I just picked up has the steel wagon wheels on it and I want to change them out the correct stock wheels. I haven't had any luck finding a set. Any ideas on where to look?
I picked up a m1009 on the cheap that needs some work. One of the metal oil cooler lines that run in front of the radiator is broken. I am having a hard time tracking down replacement parts for that. For now, I would like to bypass the oil cooler. is there a way to plug the holes in the...
I bought another m1009 that had a small fire under the hood. All battery cables have been cut and removed. I have no idea where to begin replacing these cables. What gauge are they? Does anyone have any pictures that they could post to help me see which cables go where? I have the wiring...
I'm trying to track down why my tail lights or running lights aren't working. Changed all bulbs and fuses and check all the wiring and connections, everything seems ok. I'm thinking its my headlight switch because if I pull the hazard light switch, all the tail lights and running lights work. Am...
Im kind of stumped. My taillights stopped working. The brake lights work fine as do the turn signals and blackout lights. I checked all fuses and changed the bulbs. Any ideas?
Any ideas on where to find an engine harness for an m1009? I picked up a cheap m1009 that had a small fire under the hood and melted all the wires on the passenger side.
I've recently bought two 1984 m1009. One of them has had some sort of rubbery undercoating sprayed on the undercarriage. It looks like it was done a long time ago because it has worn off on a lot of places. My other 84 has no signs of ever being coated and is quite frankly rusty as ****. Did the...
I recently purchased a m1009 from govdeals.com that has quite a bit of rust. It will need all new floorpans and rockers. The undercarriage is covered in surface rust (no real rot visible). It runs great and has no mechanical issues. I just went and looked at another m1009 local to me that does...
