2-1/2 months later and the truck is running again...finally! Whoever did maintenance on her before me has never heard of Loc-tite. I have found different size bolts connecting the torque converter of which 5 of the 6 were loose. The starter had a 12 volts solenoid. The transmission bell-housing...

Skinny: I'm all for a manual prime, just not sure how to go about it. I saw your thread about the FM100 spin-on filter upgrade and plan on doing that after I figure out this timing issue on the IP. One problem at a time, if you know what I mean. I have no problems priming a new filter but...

Finally got my new starter in with the correct 24V solenoid. Started bleeding the fuel lines and got about 15 attempts in. On the last try I heard a terrible grinding noise. Looked under neath and saw the starter nose had broken off and was dragging on the flex plate. (pics attached) Took it...

Thanks, good advise. I did all that in the engine compartment before trying to diagnose my problem. I also did the DH relay mod a couple months ago. The only electrical connections I haven’t gotten to yet are behind the dash. I’ll take care of them when I get the truck running again. The...

I like the 24v system also and want to keep it. Napa wants $244.00 plus $44.00 core charge seeing my core is 12v and they won't take it in exchange. I gave OReillys the GM part# 10479611 and they came up with an alternator. No help there! I think I'll just bite the bullet and go with Napa...

Thanks Warthog that all make perfect sense. So what are my options? Can I have my old starter rebuilt for a 24v system or should I look for a stock direct drive 24v? If I have to go stock any suggestions on where to look for one? Never mind...I found a post in the classifieds. Look like Oreilly...

Finally got to work on my starting issues again this weekend. I did as Muddobber40 outlined earlier in this post and it looks like the starter is the problem. Bench tested and she makes a bunch of noise and won't turn. All fusible links tested okay. All grounds checked & cleaned including both...

Is this what you call the fusible link??? Do I check voltage , continuity or both?

Bottom fuse is okay...replaced it with new one anyway. Well go over trouble shooting manual this weekend. Any other helpful tips I should look into?

Thanks cpf240, good info. Thanks Warthog will check and advise.

The problem; 1984 M1009 motor will not crank over. I get dash lights & GP wait light, but nothing when I turn the key to start. The Gen-1 light goes out & the water temp light comes on when I turn the key to start. Other then that nothing happens. I checked the engine fuse in the fuse block...
