    MV Parts store fuel filter kit install/review

    So after weeks of the kit sitting in my room I finally got around to installing it. For those unfamiliar, this kit converts the truck to a pair of spin on fuel filters, like the jatonka kit except I believe this a far better setup. This kit comes with all new fuel lines from the tank to the IP...

Took it for a test drive today and it's developed quite the dripping fuel leak. It's leaking from injector line #5 on top the hydraulic head. Loosened the nut up, there was...

    Does anyone have any experience with his kit? I did a little searching in here but nobody seems to have tried them. I'm in the process of rebuilding my LDS, which I have a thread running on as well. I flipped my lift pump on yesterday for some reason because I was bored, and immediately got fuel...

    Engine knocking LDS-456

    I had kinda figured this noise was normal, as I've had some other diesels that made a similar noise, but after asking a few people who said that doesn't sound right for a deuce, I got a little concerned. I searched on here some and I found an old thread about somebody's LDS (my truck also has an...

    Now that I've got my relay panel in and hooked up with help from some members here, I've slowly been trying to figure out the lights and whatnot, and have run into my next issue.

    M1010 relay panel wiring

    Finally tracked down a new relay panel for the 1010, only to find I have no clue where any wires go. There's the connectors for the relays, which ones go where I don't know, and then there's a few cut wires from the fuse block, as well as wires with ring end terminals on from both the truck side...

    So I bought a new gp card for my 1010 since the stock one is starting to get a little finnicky and it's been making fir some pretty hard starts sometimes. Now I know that it's SUPPOSED to be on the left side of the steering column, but I sure as **** can't find it. Either that or I'm just blind...

    M1010 electrical

    So i just bought my first M1010, which also counts as my first MV. Now I know a little bit about the 24v system, but I know the M1010s also used a different system than the 1009s, 1008s, ect. Mines had the top alt removed, and some of the wiring is messed with. It looks to me like the DUVAC box...
