Not disagreeing that the problem is the relay... but you haven't described your other symptoms with the glow plug components. Wait Light On/Off? Do you get the Clack when the relay is engaged? Run through the troubleshooting steps on pages 2-63 of TM 9-2320-289-20. All parts work together...

Has anyone used just the civilian glow plug temperature sensor instead of the stock/original yellow/black? I just did an engine swap and wiring harness, and the donor engine that truck the came from had a civilian glow plug temperature sensor. I was looking for how to wire it in if possible...

+1 on what Recovery4X4 said. Take your starter to a repair shop and have them test it (Not the local parts store) Your going to find something is shorted in the starter/soleniod. Do NOT buy a cheap starter off ebay or the parts store. They will not last! Have that starter rebuilt by a...

TM 9-2320-289-20 GLow Plug Relay and Module Replacement. Page 4-24. That will show you were the relay and module are located. Those two areas you need to use the voltmeter to run tests. It should pretty straight forward, since you didn't make any changes. Not saying you do or don't know...

+1 on the rebuilt. Look up Alternator / Starter rebuild in your yellow pages or Google. IF the rebuilder is not familiar with the CUCV 24 volt... just hand him the starter and give him a gentle reminder and he can get the parts and then install. I think I went through 2 of the gear reduction...

Welcome to the club! Good luck in restoring your rig!

King Pin & U Joint - Just Finished a Rebuild I found it a little difficult to get the information I needed for a "king pin" rebuild and the "u joint" rebuild on the front axles. The website was helpful as always looking at old posts... but "front u joints" and "king pin" were the terms being...

+1 to Warthog. You can spend the $120 now and have a fix for a month to X months... or rebuild the original OEM 24v. Even with the warranty of the new one... not knowing when the starter will go, pulling it out from a location you don't want to be (garage/street/work/etc) taking it to the place...

Can't go wrong with the tilt! I switched mine out. When looking for a column... be sure and test the blinker return lever. Engage the blinker level up or down and turn the wheel to see if it pops back when the wheel is straight. My whole fiasco that put me into a tilt column started because...

Now thats good advice. I read a lot trying to diagnose mine when it happened and missed that tidbit.:beer:

I agree with dstang and the other posts about pressurizing the system to check for air. I found with mine that if you open up the top vent (black twisty thing on top of the fuel filter base) and then just turn the truck over till diesel comes out the discharge rubber line. (Process for removing...

Just had the same thing happen to me. 1986 M1008. I was replacing all the belts (alt/alt/steering) and had just put it all back together. I reconnected the battery cables. Jumped in the cab to start the truck, turned the key, waited for the glow plugs to turn off (wait light). It turns off...

The "what would happen" is you would start breaking starter bolts weekly/monthly and investing in long reversible drill bits to remove the broken bolt, and then you would get to know your auto store guy on a first name basis as you would replace the bolts so often. On the flip side, you will be...

I found 2 and 0 at NAPA. If they don't have it in stock they can order it and usually have it within a 1/2 day to a day.

Kelly Schmeits I live in Hurst. West of 35E but East of 35W. About 10 miles from DFW airport. I would like to be added to the list. It would be good to hook up with other SS members. K9Vic and another friend that have M1008/1010 live within a 3 mile radius of me.

Thank you gentlemen! I just placed the order. RalBelt I should have been looking in the 34P instead of the 20P. DOH!

I am attaching the two pictures from the TM 20P... I can't seem to locate the part number for the water pump. I used the advanced search for +water +pump +part +number and did not see any part numbers for water pumps. Rock Auto shows two AC Delco water pumps and I can't tell the difference...

I just bought the ST85 yesterday... checked the box and it was made in China. I complained stating that I come to NAPA to get parts that have "better" quality. Asst Manager stated it was made to "Napa specs" but he did knock the price down to $50.

I did not hear anything... but I have bad hearing so it may have made a noise and I just did not hear it. I will get a new single pole switch tomorrow and try that. Thanks again for all your help working through this. I do wish all these diagrams would go in a sticky some where. You did a...

Thread: Glow Plug - By Pass Help I am not sure how long you can hold current to a glow plug. My old setup ran the 24volts to the inside of the truck to a switch, then to the bottom pole on the relay. If I held the switch down too long then it blew out the switch. Plus I just spent $100 on...
