I got the glow plugs working using dogheads suggestion thanks to all. Without this site i would have been totally screwed. On the down side i couldnt get it to start, after going through an entire checklist i cracked an injector line and found my ip is just dribbling fuel. Anyone have an...

Card and relay are both bad. Im good untill friday, at that point i wont have enough money to stay or get home. Calling for high of 58 on friday.

Dead on the road in the middle of a 1200 mile trip. This morning the glow plugs didn't cycle. Is there any way to start a m1009 without using the glow plugs? Maybe the wd-40 trick or something, has anyone ever done anything like this?

85 m1009 25k miles daily driver. Lately its been throwing clouds of smoke during any acceleration, and my air filter is covered with oil. Any ideas on what the problem might be?

I got it home. Thanks anyway man. Ive never bleed the fuel lines before. No idea what im doin.

Yesterday I was driving on the highway (between 55 and 70) when i lost power. Wasn't sure of the problem, possibly out of fuel. Tennessee dot spotted me on the side of the road and loaned me 5 gallons of fuel. Turned it over once and saw the fuel lines (clear) fill up. The man suggested pouring...

Yeah, this place is a wealth of knowledge. I am physically unable to work on my truck as sad as it makes me. i have to have someone do the work.

A mechanic who knows the cucv is rare in my experiences. Does anyone know a good cucv mechanic in the nashville area. Or anywhere else around the country.

It seems to leak while running, and when parked. Hose and clamp are good, they look brand new, and dont feel loose at all. Why would it leak when parked, at a half tank? Brand new fuel tank.

Did not do the work myself. It is the first time it was filled since the replacement went in. I dont believe the sending unit was replaced, seal ring either. Its down to a half tank now, and still appears to be leaking. Going through detroit in a 1009, at 70mph, is a rough ride. It drove fine...

Is that common? A mechanic at a truck stop said it was probably a breather. He didnt even want to know what type of truck though.

Its coming from around the tank. I cant see exactly where, it pools up in the skid plate. The puddles vary depending on the angle when parked. Brand new tank, less than 2 months old. Had it leak tested before the swap.

Originally i had a small fuel leak fixed. Its an 85 from michigan so naturally the tank was pure rust. Now, one month later on a trip to tennessee i noticed, while filling up, the same small leak. After paying i returned to find a puddle of diesel under my 09. Is it possible to overfill an 09...

Whats cross-wind?

Ok. The problem is not in the ignition. No power to the relay when the key is off, 12v when its on. The problem isn't the relay, can hear it click when the starter is out. The wires on the starter were not crossed, or touching. Taped up the ends to make sure that didn't happen. Maybe...

I just dont understand how it goes from reliable daily driver, to a mass of problems overnight. FML

Purple/white has 11.9. Starter still had action with the purple disconnected.

Yes, completely un mollested. Only change is the doghead.

Tried to start the 1009 yesterday and the starter wouldnt stop. Pretty common, so today I did the doghead conversion. Tried to start it afterwards and had the same problem. I thought ok, maybe i did something wrong. Took it apart tried it again, same problem. I need help.
