    Last (and only) cold start advance/high idle post/question

    Thank goodness on the 6 days a year- cause the fast idle and injection pump advance have juice going to them long after the M1009 has “warmed up”. Good news: both disconnected, not so good I could not locate the temp sensor on the passenger side head..? Left (driver’s side) sure thing. Plus...

    Last (and only) cold start advance/high idle post/question

    Truck is not where I am, but will be tomorrow. Let me be sure I understand correctly. There is a temp sensor - back of passenger head. It runs the injection pump advance and high idle - via a green wire (to both?). The wire should have voltage prior to warmup -no voltage after. The truck can...

    New injection pump and binding throttle mystery

    Turns out: I had an injection pump and lift pump installed. The throttle was sticking (at about 3/4 open) only when the engine was running. My mechanic found this 14066255 throttle solenoid was extending - but not retracting. When unplugged the truck seems to run fine. What is it? What does it...

    New injection pump and binding throttle mystery

    The shop is checking that out. Hope is anything but the pump. We will see.

    New injection pump and binding throttle mystery

    Yep, maybe so… we will see. The road to daily driver isn’t always that smooth or quick.

    New injection pump and binding throttle mystery

    I bought a rebuilt injection pump from Hilbilly Wizard. I decided to have a local diesel performance shop install it. After installation they are trying to sort out a throttle that “binds at about 3/4 open”. They tell me it happens when it’s running, but not when not running. I know it’s a...

    First fuel leak located - sort of…

    Weekend is more of a time frame for my Camaro at the warehouse. I’ll probably start on Saturday, in case I decide to finish on Sunday. I’ll send the IP on the truck back as a core after I get the new one on. If I understand correctly - I’ll turn the pump gear (by turning the motor by hand) to...

    First fuel leak located - sort of…

    I ordered a rebuilt injection pump from Hillbilly Wizard and will start all the fun when it arrives. Until I get the M1009 a little more presentable it is living at the business I own - about 40 miles from home/home garage. Getting all the tools I might need to the truck is tricky- so, I’ll...

    Jumping off the injection pump bridge

    I ordered an injection pump (Hillbilly Wizard- not inexpensive). I watched a couple of videos - in one the guy thanked cucvrus for the help. I’m hoping between that, a lift pump, and any/all new fuel lines- I’ll have an noticeable difference. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    First fuel leak located - sort of…

    Is it a remove intake, unplug and unbolt IP, install “new” IP? If yes, what is the best currently available replacement? Or is there an easier/better way? Thanks in advance

    First fuel leak located - sort of…

    I “you-tubed” changing the injection pump - looks like one of those jobs that I’d rather write a check than do myself. This has me trying to find a local guy. Central Texas area - if anyone out there is or knows of someone.

    First fuel leak located - sort of…

    I guess it’s all relevant- “good news”: I found the end result of a fuel leak. Some know I’m planning on new hoses and a lift pump to (hopefully) aid in a starting problem. Now I just need to find where the starting point of this leak is… I’ve been told it’s probably fuel line filter (spin on...

    Replacing lift pump

    Thanks - this is exactly what I was looking for. I’m going to clean it up and track the lines this weekend. Should have the pump by next weekend - all the fun.

    Replacing lift pump

    I have a new (Hillbilly Wizard) lift pump in-coming. My truck is at my business 40 miles from my home garage. I’m trying to gather up everything I might need. What size/lengths of gas line should I have on hand? RTV and grease (to hold the shaft out of the way)… any other supplies, I haven’t...

    Sagging door of doom

    I hear you. Been doing this (car thing) 5 plus decades. I’ve never once walk back to my tool box to get the correct sized wrench (after guessing wrong) without saying to myself “lazy man always finds the easy way”…

    Sagging door of doom

    Drivers door is sagging. Are the hinges easily adjusted, or should I plan on new hinges? Or new pins? Or..? And how much work? I’m guessing it would be easier with the fender removed, but would rather not.

    Fiberglass top questions

    The areas where my top was painted black (camo pattern) are in pretty bad shape- I’m guessing sun damage. The fiberglass fibers are exposed. Should I repair- if yes, how? Or replace - if yes, is civilian top exactly the same. I found a top close and affordable.

    the list goes on.

    I wish I would have read this first - I would have saved myself this little bit of work.
