    I removed 2 glow plugs a couple of minutes ago and had the Mrs crank the engine over for 5 seconds. I have no fuel visible from the glow plug holes. I repeated this test twice. I do have fuel to the injector lines though. I'm thinking clogged injectors. Any ideas?

    I appreciate all the help. I'm at work so I'm slow to respond but I have a new fuel filter assembly installed. It is a wix base with screw on filter. I filled the filter with fuel, assembled it till tight plus a 1/4 turn, then let the electric fuel pump run until clear, steady fuel came from the...

    I reseated all of them. Then cranked till the battery died. I feel like i'm missing something.

    I didn't realize that they can thread on and not be seated, some didn't quite line up and I just threaded them on thinking it would seat itself. I will fix that right now.

    Hello everyone. I am still having a devil of a time getting this M1008 in service. I had my IP rebuilt by a shop and reinstalled it. The truck started up quickly and ran very well for 2 days, and about 40 miles. The only issue was some stalling on deceleration followed by extended cranking to...

I just went outside in my bathrobe and slippers in 30 degree weather because i had an epiphany. There is definitely no fuel coming...

    Well I purchased 1 new battery and the other one is charged up. The connector was adjusted and I am getting 11v every single time. I removed the return line from the injection pump and replaced it with a clear line. While the motor is cranking with the line disconnected i get very little fuel...

    I cleaned the pink wire and pushed it down all the way. Then I cracked all 8 injectors and cranked about 5 times. The injectors that were cracked for the first time were dry. I checked voltage at the screw on top of the injector pump that the pink wire connects to. It was 0. I pulled the wire up...

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. D-stang- I cracked the 4 closest lines cranked it and found diesel fuel and some bubbling around the nut where the line goes in. I also checked my plug resistance and found them to average 2.8 between the block and terminal on the plug. Warthog- I...

    I have a new to me M1008 with 44k miles. I have installed an electric fuel pump and get a strong unbroken stream of fuel out of the fuel bleed outlet. While cranking I get no coughing, no hesitation, no signs of the truck attempting to come to life. The glow plugs are getting 11v at the...
