The injector pump is not new, not rebuilt or anything replaced. It was just removed and built in on the marks like before. The injector pump is the only thing which is not replaced on the fuelsystem.... and the truck was stored for 15 years.

Now there is another disappointing update After 15 km we were stranded on the roadside to be towed away again. Until we had this failure, never come over this distance. The engine stopped just without anything else, no noise, just shut down - very popular at the intersection ..... You can...

Never to late for an advice or comment! The installation is correct with the timing mark. After we had solved all problems around the glow plug controller and electrical system is the problem - It have in cold engine temperature a very loud "combustion noise" in germany we call this typical...

I am agree with you Did have offer from car-painters about 3000-5000 Euro for complete new paint... so before investing so much money it will be complete disassemble, cleaned and grounded by color ground and rustprotection. Some people around us advice us to us car wraping - i dont know if i use...

A better perspective picture it need to remove the fender for welding - will be done just before painting This area is covered with the "air intake grille?" Difficult work but i am able to do this It would be nice to have a repair-shield for it but usually is that not an area where you can...

i know about the work of own in this lines (as i am metalworker and machinist) but i have no tools for it. We doesn`t had a great various on after market parts here in germany. I prefer to buy in germany as it is for privat people much easier and at least faster if the parts are on stock. I put...

Want to give you all an update: I couldn't done a lot last weeks after I had broken my right hand - so I need much more time as I want to come up with work. Lastly some of the electrical wiring was defect during the generator circle. I take new connections and now i should work right - but at...

this clock comes from my first car a Ford Capri II in the early 80. Thought 1997 after this clock went through some cars that it fit perfect in the M1008.

So after testing we must say the voltmeter is dead. So the clock become a famely member beside => VDO Voltmeter :D (y)

Couldn't have a look on the truck these days. We had yesterday a storm with much rain and friends of us need our help. Thanks cucrus for your helpful info, vdo is easy to got in germany and it is good to know that it is changeable.

As expected an elecrical wire failure. Both generators done their job again. At least next come up :p voltmeter don't work. Today we will have a look on it. If the streak of luck continues then it's just again a cable or relay and not the voltmeter itself. It is probably no longer available as...

All build up again around the glowplug system - it was not on the glowplugcontroller and not on any relais or the solenoid. It was on the electrical wiring failure. After figure out this and change the defect wiring no more problems at all in that case. It work very good - engine runs smooth and...

Register in another country will not change anything of the restriction if you want drive here the car. No mind from where you come. Maybe you be lucky and pass out of control.... but if you be controlled than it will be expensive. Today we can all still live with this as the Emissions still not...

EGR takes a lot of Power .... so I prefer the J Code. I am already restricted in Germany of environment areas where this old Dieselengines not allowed to pass if Emissions this forced. I could try to got the german historical vehicle licence (more than 30 years after build) but this have also...

Thanks for Information. Find this 135 HP on offered military trucks in advertisments in Germany. The correct engine specifications can be see in the official car documents on the VIN Number. Usually not shown in the advertisments.

Hi all, since I am looking around the M1008 found I different information about the HP. I thought only one version of 6.2 Diesel 115 KW / 156 HP and TH400 automatic transmission like ours. But I heard now often about 135 HP for that engine on the M1008. What is the difference? Or is it a false...

Didn't know this. Thanks for that Info. Another solution would be to got doorcovers in same color. The decision must not do today as before start in this job have to be done the technical work at all. I must confess that I never expected so much small failures on the system after longtime storage.

Sorry I missunderstood that. I would not paint the dashboard cover. It is in good condition. I had never seen a good dashboardcover or pad finish on paint, that means not that it is impossible. We colored only metalsheets and if necessary does we replace the dashboardcovers. Usually replacing...

... Good advice of the sliding window - physics should not been ignored (y) The seat back ist also still good, but will done both to got same material and same color. I know about the hard work for a good finish in painting. We will not do painting ourself - like the red color will it be done...

Hi all, next I have to think about is of the seats. The cover ist available but i don't want just cover new as the pad under cover is also in weak condition. And i want it a bit more "solid"... specially the edge will be claimed all time hardly. I think everyone know what i mean :D So i guess...
