Thanks for the info! I follow what you're saying about the lowered hauling capacity with a bobbed deuce. What's the capacity of the deuce compared with a bobbed one? But, what are the issues about with the bob-job? Are the problems with the skill of the person doing the bob such as drive shaft...

I need a truck for use on my 'hobby', but working farm. I'm kicking around the idea of a bobbed deuce with a winch and a dump bed. Could a deuce be fixed-up to make a dependable, rugged work truck for the farm? If you think yes, what vintage of deuce should I look for? Should I go with a...

The GP controller bypass with the momentary push button switch works great in my case! Thank you for your help and your patience! So for warm starts, I now manually actuate the glow plug relay via my momentary push button. I glow for a few seconds and my M1009 catches on the first revolution...

Thanks! I'll give her a short (knowing myself) - er shot.

Well, today I checked out my GP system and purchased materials to install a manual GP system due to having warm starting issues with my M1009. [Note that I had a local shop rebuild my alternators and another shop attempt to reinstall them. The result was a few fried wires, etc. And, still...

Thanks for the info about the blue wire. I can put my mind at ease about it. Tomorrow, it looks like I will be trouble shooting my M1009 glow plug control system and installing a manual glow plug set-up.

Yes. I replaced the the sensor at the drivers side rear (black and white wires running to it). When I removed it, coolant leaked out. However, I noted a similar connector in the wiring harness of which the aforesaid sensor was a part; it has a similar connection to the coolant temperature...

With engine off and the ignition on, I removed and reinstalled the pink wire from the injector pump solenoid (as suggested above) and the solenoid clicked on and off. So, perhaps we can rule out the injector pump solenoid? My M1009 did seem to start a couple of times fairly easily after 15...

Thank you for the response! When it's warm and I shut it down, immediate re-start attempts work. If I wait until it cools a bit, then starting becomes an issue until it completely cools down. Then it will fire right back up once I let the glow plugs heat, the wait light goes out, and after I...

Thanks for the information! As you may have guessed, I am having (warm) starting issues with my M1009. I read earlier posts and I have replaced my coolant temperature sensor with a cross referenced one which seemed to work for a couple of days. But now I am back to the hard warm starts while my...

Thank you! But, doesn't the time the glow plugs need to heat depend upon the outside temperature as well as how warm the engine is?

Once the manual glow plug push button set-up is installed, does anyone have any time - temperature information as to how long you hold down the push button?
