Well after picking up my M1008 earlier this month and replacing all 8 glowplugs she fired up fine and I found that the power steering pump wasnt working. Fine.. I replaced it with a used one off another m1008. Everything worked after I bled the system and started to drive it. I noticed the...

Oh, one last thing now. got her running and new 1000ca batteries and she is not keeping a charge. I'm checking the alternators tomorrow and see which or if both are bad. :( headlights are bright and voltmeter runs in the green when she is running but the new batteries are near dead when I try to...

Well thanks for your help everyone. I was able to get the plug out with a shop vac. I tried a magnet but it wouldn't grab well enough. I could feel the plug in there with my pinkie finger and was able to find a hose small enough to get in the injector hole. Thank God for experience (doghead)...

I found it with a search.30mm. Thanks for the advice doghead. I will see if I can find a magnet that I can get to it with. Wish me luck everyone.

too late. It broke off inside. Now I need to get the injector out. Anybody know what socket size you need?

thanks. maybe l will just buy one

The old plugs came out pretty easy (lucky) except one which was swollen too far. All but two were swollen. 13g's were in it and I ordered wellman 070's...

Ok. Thanks. I am new to 24v systems. I guess I will have to buy the other battery. When the truck was running the volt meter was in the green all the way so I assume the alternators were working ok just the batteries were bad.

I just bought a m1008 from a surplus dealer and the batteries were weak. I drove it home 2hrs drive and later when I tried to start it was dead. I bought a new battery and replaced the rear battery which I thought was the weak one. Still the volt meter reads just below green, I assume the new...
