Is this going to be like the Gasser Tipper you bought a few years ago? Pictures of the bed posted by different people as it moves around the country and never getting to Florida? Good find by the way. I would like something similar myself for a project truck I am messing with.

The switch is my guess to. Just a guess for now. I have another switch that I plan to just plug in from underneath and see what happens.

Lots of razor blade cut pie shaped wedges for the wheel wells and 3M spray adhesive to hold it on. The front required cutting at the heater outlet and coming off the tunel in the front.

Do you by chance mean utility spot light? You want a movable one like police use on the A pillar or something lighting up the back of the truck in the tail gate area. More info please.

Check the grounds anywhere and everywhere on the truck as suggested above. I would also suggest reaching up behind the dash and making sure the big plug that has all the wires to the gauge cluster is all the way seated. I had one come loose once and all kinds of silly things were happening...

It turned out great. Post number 32 shows Colton cutting in the rear seat mounts of this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?90738-M1009-aka-RED-project-under-way There are some more pictures later in the thread with everything installed. We installed a stereo system over...

I have a M1009 that only works on high speed now. Won't even move in low. The other M1009 works sometimes on both speeds and other times won't even come on or just stops somewhere in the sweep. I haven't tested anything on them yet, but am thinking switch as much as motor. Just another part...

Sorry to hear about your friend. I saw the news stories, but didn't know him myself. One of our teachers used to be the dispatcher over there and I am covering for her so she can go the funeral tomorrow. We got ball joints, tie rod ends, axle u-joints, brake flush and a few other things done...

When putting power to glow plugs that are out of an engine like Karl did. Please put on safety glasses. I have had a few go "POP!" as soon as I put power to them. Little bits of hot metal go flying when this happens. Why put power to them? I wanted to see why it was only pulling .8 Ohms, or...

Did you pull the gauge cluster to swap the bulbs or just reach up to do it? The big plug on the back of the cluster, the copper leads on the cluster, the ends that have to be clean, the holder, the contacts on the holder and the bulb all could have an effect on if it lights up or not. Plus the...

The stock system is designed to come on when the coolant level is below 125°. Any 6.2 you have seen start "cold" without glow plugs either had the coolant that high or had a glow plug system that wasn't working correct. Will a 6.2 start in warmer weather without glow plugs? Sure, it might...

I think we need some more information here. Fresh clean diesel, new filters, just started doing this, just got the truck running after it was under water for 15 years, etc...?

Another problem is the truck was set up for power steering. Caster angles used to be changed between non power and power steering vehicles. The K5 had only power as your choice. Putting a non power box in there would make it very, very hard to steer at slow speeds. I just searched and could...

No tailgate. I made my own and made my own hinges modeled after the stock ones.

The 6.2 returns a lot of fuel to the tank at idle. How much is a lot? I have never measured it, but when running engines in a can. I have a fuel supply hose and a return hose. The return hose has a steady stream coming out of it. Same on my M715. I can see the return going into the fuel...

You mean the silver thing at the bottom right corner of the fuse box? That is a blinker relay. That is what you hear clicking when the blinkers are on. Two pieces of different kinds of metal inside. When they get hot, they more and seperate breaking the circuit. They cool down and touch...

The starter button gets its power from the master on/off switch. Make sure it is all the way up when pushing the red start button. Mine did that for a while until I swapped out switches and all is good. As already said, start simple, cheap and easy. Then start to worry about the big stuff...

Have you had biodiesel in it the entire time it has been acting funny? That would explain a lot.

We plan to drive it to the meeting next week Mark. That is why I finally brought in to work to finish out the time consuming stuff. He has a band competition Saturday and it wouldn't get done in time otherwise. Chris I started giving him tools as he was adjusting the rear brakes, brake spoon...

Having typed what I did yesterday. I of course had a leak today. One of the non clamp end caps came off on my way to work in RED this morning. It is one of the set I got from Badger. I have spares and all is well again. I had another end come off the M715 a few months ago. That is why I...
