Well good news guys, after sticking the optima off my dads tractor in the m1009, and lots more cranking, I discovered a fuel drip in the line from the filter to the IP, so I fixed it and tried again to bleed the injectors, after a few cranks, I got fuel, I hooked back tight, and a few more good...

Great news man, glad to hear she's back on the road, sounds like you might have still had a bit of air, but should have idled funny.

If you have 9 psi out of the filter, sounds like the lift pump is fine, I believe it pumps from the tank to through the filter to the IP. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here. But kinda sounds like more of a quality issue still, I believe the IP is either a go or no go situation, where if it...

No its with the glow plugs in, not really able to remove them without pulling the Turbo and exhaust manifold off the passenger side, its a really tight fit.

Barrman makes a good point, sounds like at this point its not so much of a fuel flow issue, as it is a fuel quality issue, try running it from a 5 gallon gas can with fresh diesel and see what happens.

Well after cleaning up all the wiring contact points, its cranking about as fast as a Gasser would, but the 12v starter draws so much amperage that it takes a pretty quick toll on my already crappy batteries, so I gotta find a way to keep enough charge to keep spinning it. The odd thing is...

It may not be all 8 injectors, but on an 8 cylinder, 2 dead cylinders can cause a whole lot of grief. Unfortunately if its got anything to do with the IP, I'm of no help. I too am having fueling issues. But when I first got my m1009 I had one glow plug not heating, and when mine would start, it...

Yea, sounds like it starving itself, make sure your air filter isn't plugged up, that will starve it for air, and it will act just like fuel starvation, and make sure the exhaust isn't plugged anywhere either, if both check out, sounds like it might be time to pull the injectors and make sure...

There really shouldn't be much pressure up to the IP, like 5 to 7 psi is about all it needs, if that. But it has to have atleast 1500 psi from the IP to pop the injectors. Does it have any exhaust smoke while running? And if so what color?

Yea, the IP solenoid is working, I even checked it when I had the top off the IP, and everything seems to be moving fine, so I guess ill just keep trying to get the injectors to bleed, it just sucks because the starter draws so much amperage it kills off my batteries pretty quick. Like 2 or 3...

Well no luck, its like the IP isn't doing anything, its got fuel in the bowl, but if I crack an injector line loose, like 3/4 turn to where the line can move a bit, its like a get a drizzle at best. Any other places to check?

Ill give it a shot. Hopefully that'll get her to fire up. Thanks

Well took it apart, including pulling the cap off the IP, nothing was clogged and the ball moved freely, along with all the linkages, and the bowl was full of fuel, but with an injector line cracked loose, it appears that there is still nothing coming out of the IP. Any idea's?

Yea, I double checked the delving numbers, to make sure, because I too thought it might be a 24v starter, so it sounds like time to convert it back to 24v I would rather have the factory wiring if I have to pull the starter, it will make later diagnosis with the TM's my h easier. Thank you for...

12v direct drive delco starter*

Ok, I will check it over, and let you know what I find, hopefully that's it. The trucks been down for a week, and unfurtunately the temperature here is In the teens, and it wont fit in my garage. Lol another quick question though, it has a 12v direct drive delving starter on it, and even with 2...

Thanks warthog, I will check that here in a bit, the truck is currently at my dads, and since it was my daily driver, I gotta find a way up there, if the return is plugged, is there a way I can get it cleaned up enough to get the truck home?

Ok so I searched the forum and the TM, and still can't figure this out, I need help. Here's the story, I bought the m1009 and when I got it home, began looking it over, and it was all hacked up, the wiring was a mess ( lights wired to house wiring on a toggle switch) I rewired most of the truck...
