Wow, now old age and schooling makes a difference.

I still burn my coal at 25 million BTUs per ton. A ton of coal will fit "belly high" on a standard pallet. Because of the Ukraine war, the price of coal in upstate NY just increased 40% to $310 a ton . Still cheaper than buying local "seasoned/split wood or bagged pellets.

Rick, That is considered US property and you should do the right thing and return it.

Its the new generation of RICH kids that want these trucks. "Mommy will buy it for me"

For those of us that are lazy or in a hurry, there is no need to remove all your glow plugs just to test them. Just unplug the wire to each plug and test continuity by grounding 1 lead and touching the other lead to the spade tip on the plug. If you show continuity your plug is good. If you...

Rick, Them tires are so old they have no date codes.

Nice Video; I guess I stand corrected and would have never guessed. Being fortunate at having 2 trucks to compare with each other, that both run and start identically, I just assumed that all was just perfect. Both my rides are stock and have new or at least newer plugs and act the same way...

antennaclimber Both my trucks have a "cycling after glow" when cold starting. So as you stated above, do I have really good electrical systems in both my trucks? Or do I have issues with both of my trucks? The TM's state the "glow plugs will cycle up to 90 seconds" after start-up. I had a...

It's a ways out but you can count me in with my M1008 "Easter Find" if nothing gets in my way.

Your glow plugs are not cycling after startup and are causing a large draw on your electrical system. You changed your other parts twice to no avail. I hate throwing new parts at an attempt to solve a problem but now it may be time to try another glow plug card.

You may want to try replacing the wiper motor/pump with a OEM remanufactured one first. They have a lifetime warranty, cost about $70.00 and may solve that very common problem of your washer pump not working. Make sure you order for a 1984 model year - they have the washer pump built in to the...

I still think you may have a bad card, temp sensor, or both. The video shows on "your volt meter" that the GPs were/are fully activated when you started the truck "I assume when the engine was already warm". Also the GPs after glow never worked properly in any of your videos. The after glow...

You have me thinking again. I think the temp sensor is a normally an open circuit "when cold". When the water temperature rises after starting or when it has already been running, the sensor loop closes and that tells your glow plug card that the engine is warm and doesn't need the glow plug...

Rick, is that the "medical type" you're growing there?

Your daughter should win this on her own. She got my vote.

The water in fuel circuit would not draw that much power and should have no effect. You are still getting a huge electrical draw "most likely" from your glow plug system. In your video, that rattle noise and then the back to normal acts as if your glow plugs are still heating in till the system...

That is an AS-3900 antenna. They are very common but unfortunately some eBay sellers think they are worth their weight in gold

He hasn't been online since July of 2011

It looks like you are getting a heavy electrical draw on your charging system. The volt gage should move into the green shortly after starting and pulse back and forth as the glow plugs cycle. It's possibly a problem with the glow plug system. The engine temperature sensor may be bad and is...

I would bet there is a critters nest in the heater squirrel cage. I had that happen to my 1009. Take the damper cover off the passenger's side air duct and reach up to the fan squirrel cage to check it.
