Truck (M1009) runs out great for the most part. I did notice the crank pulley "wobbling" this morning. I guess it's time for a damper. I was wondering how the heck PFC Snuffy managed to bend the crank pulley until I read a damper thread.
Trans doesn't want to shift into third until 40-45 mph. I'll do a fluid and filter change. I suppose I'll check the vacuum pump too, but I didn't see a vacuum line going to the trans. This is my first auto tranny I've owned so pardon my ignorance in that area.
Slight vibration, feels like driveshaft. U joints feel tight. After reading horror stores about forklifts I better check into it more. Truck was purchased and titled by previous owner but not drove much.
Changed glow plugs this morning and starts great now, but I don't have any "wait to start" light. Maybe just a bad bulb? Where is it exactly in the cluster?
Thanks for the help guys. I've tried searching for most of this stuff and I think I've got a good general idea on what to troubleshoot. Just have to find the time. I'll get around to reading the PMCS and maintenance pubs when I get a chance too.
Radiator also developed a small leak while driving today too. I guess that will make the damper change a little easier. Hopefully it isn't rotted to the point it will need a new core.
