There is a controller card installed, however I believe he disconnected the light blue wire and ran a black wire from the front of the relay to the switch. So i guess the manual switch is the only way for the glow plugs to work. This isnt the first winter , However i have always had a really...

When i hit the switch i do hear a Clunk sound, glow plugs were checked with a test light and I do have (1) which is not working the other (7) light up the test light. Truck is very had to start and a decent amount of white smoke while cranking. Rebuilt starter was installed last month along with...

Good afternoon all, I have a quick question , I'm trying to figure how the previous owner wired the manual switch , I have read and watched all the videos on this subject and still can't figure out how he did it. The relay has a red wire that runs to the switch under the dash it's attached to...

Cucvrus, Looks like you were dead on, the back battery has a cracked terminal. Have not replaced yet but with your input on it, this must be the reason.

Good Morning! I have been having a new problem with my m1008 symptoms are as follows: Truck hasn't been started for 2 weeks, I needed to pick up some workout equipment from dicks about 9 Miles from my house, Truck starts right up no problem. Drive it for about 20 to 30 min down the road, run...

Is installing an eletrical fuel pump as easy as , just finding the section of rubber hose on the passenger side frame , installing a pre filter , then installing eletric pump and then just running that hose to the fuel filter? AND of course hooking up the switch to the ignition.

10-4 , I will replace all lines at least I know then , that half of the truck is taken care of, I would just need to address the leaking problem or maybe that might solve it

I will also do the clear hose trick to test that as well!

Thank you gentlemen for the prompt responses! So, I did replace the fuel lines when I changed the filter base, and from everyone's responses, I do believe I have an air leak, Ijust thought it had to be the filter base bc I never really had a hard time starting untill early summer, when I would...

Thanks so much for your prompt responses guys! So, I did put new lines in when I changed the filter base and filter. However, I have not gone through the lines running from the tank all the way up. As you gentlemen have stated I do believe air is getting in somewhere, but I was baffled by the...

Me and the Lord talked and after seeing what I'm going through he was okay with it! But good looking out

Hello all! So my problem is this, let me start by saying I read tons and tons of posts about this issue all through the internet, and I haven't come up with a set way to determine my problem. So what I'm asking for is how you guys would go about determining the problem, as in what to check...

Sounds good, I think I remember seeing a video of a guy and he filled that hole where that switch went with some kind of epoxy bc he said it was hard to replace since they were not in civlian models, I had orginal thought that was my problem bc I have read of people with similar symptoms fixing...

Thank you so much for answering! What do you mean pressure switch? I'm new to deisel engines lol I understand everything else and will check and post back, so I read somewhere and someone said something about a return on the fuel pump, they were saying if something was bad on that it could be...

Hey guys, so I have a problem starting my 86 m1008, I've done a lot of research but can't figure it out, so here's the problem , when I go to start it cranks over and starts no problem but within 5 seconds it stalls, I do notice white smoke ( don't know what that means) after it stalls I've...

All my lines are little waked out but I believe that the cab lines are slightly lower then the beds lines

Thanks guys for the great info, I don't think the frame is bent but I'm going to check, there are no cracked leafs, so I think I'm going to change the bushings on the rear leaf springs and mine as well just change the body mounts and make it a day project, the bushings on the rear leaf springs...

No not to much noise , I did notice alot of flex though , up and down and stuff but I wasn't sure if that was due to the lift and or it being old lol but the leaf spring bushings look good , have you guys changed the body mounts before and if so is it a huge under taking ? Thanks for your help!

thank you!! I will measure that in the morning, if the bed is off too what else could it be? Thank you for the help
