    odd steering noise

    oh, sorry, Its a 1986 m1009. The noise seems to come from the area where the steering shaft enters the engine compartment

    odd steering noise

    When I'm sitting still or a low speeds, I hear a knock under the floorboard when I turn the steering wheel left and right. It feels like a bump under the floor. I checked and the frame where the steering box is not cracked. What else will cause this bump when I move the steering wheel?

    Wierd turn signal/running lamp question

    All lights on the 1009 work, except for my driver's side marker lamp and running lamp...Well the lamps sort of work. When I turn my left blinker on, the turn signal faintly lights up. The running lamp doesn't work at all. Also the left marker lamp doesn't work at all. Any reason why the...

    glow plug wire connectors

    How loose should the plastic connectors be on the glow plugs? Also, how hard are these to change?

    another starting question

    I just replaced all of the them with new wellmans. Of course, I do have a leak in my injection pump on the seal where the accelerator shaft attaches....maybe this is the cause of starting problems. So if I hear the relay clicking then that means I've got power to the glow plugs? So I don't...

    another starting question

    I turn the key, the wait light comes on, I hear the relay click under the dash.... Does the relay making noise mean the the glow plugs are being turned on? I'm thinking of installing a manual push button for the glow plugs because it takes a minute or so to start the truck up when its cold.

    New tires and Line-X

    All I did was take the seats out and drove it to the line-x place. He did all the prep work for me

    Tell me what I'm supposed to hear

    RE: Tell me what I The only time it smokes is when I first crank it up (the injection pump has leak thoiugh so it probably gets air in the lines... and it will have a little bit of smoke when I get on the throttle. But it doesn't smoke just driving normally down the road

    RE: Tell me what I no oil in the coolant, no coolant in the oil. Now you're saying black and white/blue smoke is normal or not normal?

    Tell me what I'm supposed to hear

    When the 6.2 diesel is idling, what noises should I hear. What are bad noises? I listened to the motor while it was idling, and I could hear rattling noises in the top end, like marbles rolling around a tin can, this normal? Also, where the exhaust mounts to the manifold, there are two bolts...

    New tires and Line-X

    I removed all the seats, seat belts, etc and took it to them. The total cost was $600 for it. I'm really happy with it, makes the inside of the truck look so much better.

    New tires and Line-X

    I just dropped some money on my 1009. I had 4 new BFG A/T KO's 31 x 10.5 tires installed. I also had Line-X sprayed on the inside. The tires made a big difference. My Goodyear wranglers rode like crap, shook me out of the cab going down the road. The line-x looks outstanding....Pics to...

    my first MV, 1986 M1008

    I'll look at after work in about an hour. What is the exact name of the damper, so when I go to the parts counter I won't look like a total moron.

    my first MV, 1986 M1008

    I'll go look at them more closely. I'm thinking that the lowest pulley was the one wobbling...which one would this be, and how to replace it?

    my first MV, 1986 M1008

    Please explain the damper a little more. When I had the m1009 running yesterday, I was searching for the chirp that my engine was making. I watched the belts and noticed that one of the pulleys, can't remember which one (maybe even more than one), was a little wobbly. Is this what youre...

    Chirp in the engine

    Try not to roll your eyes when I ask this quetion....I have never owned a diesel until now, so I'm still getting used to the noises, the smoke, etc etc etc.. When the m1009 is at idle, I can hear what sounds like chirping noises coming from under the hood. When I give it a little bit of gas...

    Signs of an old motor?

    Sounds good, I'm just worried about things that aren't there! I guess its because I've never owned a diesel.

    Signs of an old motor?

    It is a chevy 6.2. I don't know how well the military maintains their vehicles. Mine came from Ft. Jackson, SC and had 122k miles on it when it was released to GL. I'm hoping they took care of it. This is my first diesel, so every knock, tick, smoke, etc makes me question..
