Oh man, I'm sure! Turbos are the way to go. Was the '95 GMC originally a diesel truck...or did you convert it?

After swapping the IP, I had the IP advanced about 2mm to the drivers side. After driving it some, I decided it seemed a bit too much advanced. So I backed it off to only 1mm advance to driver side. It seems to run a bit smoother now. Also I did remove the air cleaner to do this. Now that...

....that was my first suspicion on the noise so I pulled over to check and found it not loose. I'll look it over again today.

Well, I havn't put a gauge on the fuel line to verify prime loss, but thats just what I'm figuring. The glow plugs are nearly new. And, each time the truck has done this malfunction, the engine has initially started up fine...it just died after 5-10 seconds. That's when I had to crank and...

Well, the truck is running much better throughout the entire throttle range with the new IP, I'm happy about that. But, I still have an issue with the fuel system losing its prime sometimes when the truck sits for a while. I've read where others have found leaks around one of the sensors on...

Well I've got it FIXED!! I checked all the other stuff and had no where else to go but an injector pump swap. I still had my doubts as to the IP being the ultimate problem, so I bought a used pump off ebay for about a 100 bucks. I swapped it in and the truck is running normal again through...

Thanks for the warm welcome and all of yall's advice. I am LOVING this truck, and if I end up having to get the IP rebuilt, I'll know I should have lots of reliable miles ahead. I am going to do a little homework with the TM, but judging from Matt65's checklist, I'm down to either a...

TM stands for "technical manual" correct?...Thanks a ton for the link to the manuals, I'll be getting into them shortly. I am for sure having an issue of some sort because the full-throttle bogging wasn't present before the 400 mile trip home a couple of weeks ago, or at least it wasn't as...

My all-stock '85 m1008 is lacking power beyond half-throttle. It runs fine from zero to half-throttle, but opening the throttle any more than that acts like fuel starvation. It wont put out any black smoke even at full throttle. If I push the pedal to the floor, the engine "bogs" until I lift...
