Check to make sure it is getting fuel, try bleeding the fuel filter and look for good flow, check to make sure you have voltage at the glow plugs, try cracking the injector line at the injector to see if fuel is making it there. Never heard back on the M1028 brackets.

Does it crank over or do you get nothing at all? If it cranks but doesn't start it could be the glow plug relay or a control card. If it doesn't crank at all, try shifting the gear lever to neutral or shift it around and then back to park and then try to start it. Sometimes I need to do that with my M1009.

Did you actually CHECK the glowplugs and found them good? Or did you just go by the LOOK? I actually did the same once. The PO had put a new set of plugs in an engine. I did a simple test of the GP circuit and it showed good. After much expense and time I was no better off. So I began at the beginning and tested EACH plug. Yep, the ding-a-ling PO had "tested" all the plugs and burnt out all but one! A new set of GOOD plugs and I had the best starting 6.2 you ever saw!

If yours are good, and the new ones need a home, I may be buying.

I could use a set if you want to get rid of them. PM me.

Disconnet the glow plugs and try a very, very short shot of ether. Wayne

Have you found your problem yet? Did you check each glowplug seperately? I just changed mine and I tested them all seperately and found 5 dead and only 3 live! And the first one I took out looked almost new and tested fine. But the other three on that side were dead. My 1008 now starts like summertime and it has been down to 14 here lately!
