I guess I'm a total moron, I looked where you said to look(CUCV Helpful threads sticky) and found nothing saying snip away(which I will). Could you please help me find that subject?
Ok had to wait till Friday for the 8 degree temp. Its alive! I cycled the plugs twice and she fired right up. Im tickled ****less, didn't have faith but I do now!
Chesapeake, mine does/did the same thing. I changed all 8 glow plugs and the connectors so Thursday morning its supposed to be 8 degrees so ill see what if it starts. Last time it was single digits it wouldn't fire off.
I hear the glow plug relay kicking on and off, I just wondered how many on/off cycles and how long. if its cycling after the wait light goes out do you even need to turn key off/on? I just changed out my m1008's glow plugs and found the fire dept? had changed some/all, none of the old glow plugs...
My question is what is the glow plug sequence? I don't crank the engine till the wait light goes out. But when the engine doesn't start I turn the key off and repeat. is this correct?
I have a m1008 I purchased from GSA and it was a brushtruck for a rural fire department. My question is do I just hit the red paint with a DA sander and repaint or do I need to do something more?
Got my m1008 out today and went for a ride and the engine noise at 55 was crazy! Granted its been 20 something years since I last rode in one but wow! its shifting and the transfer case is in high. Normal?
