I have manual glow plugs and am never going back to the stock controller. I'm travelling until 6/10/24, but if you don't find anything by then PM me. My m1009 probably has this connector still and I'll chop it off and send it to you for the cost of shipping. I'm not sure what condition it's...

Hillbilly wizard probably has what you want. I'd give them a call if I was you I have a spare pump and hydroboost unit/master cylinder, but I think I might have tossed the auto pedal set when I did my manual trans swap. I probably have the lines, but you probably don't want to put used lines...

Ok. I'm officially an idiot. Right after posting this I figured it out. And based on the TMs I think the phantom drain problem I was having (drain on the headlight fuse with the headlight switch plug disconnected) is impossible with a factory electrical system. Hence my confusion... After an...

Hopefully this is a quick question for the CUCV electrical experts. I have a 240 mA current draw on the 12V battery connection with the key off. With the 30A headlight fuse removed that is reduced to 35 mA, which is about what I would expect for a CUCV. I have reviewed the TMs and both of...

Coming from someone who has been fighting a turbo swap in a 1009 for the last month, it's not worth it. Especially if you don't care about the performance gains. The banks kits are too hard to find and the 6.5 swap is just not worth doing. I got all the 6.5 parts from Craigslist for $500, and...

Do you by chance have any photos of how you have the CDR hose connected to the intake? I barely have any space between the front of the turbo and the batteries. I already bought new smaller batteries and have them less than half an inch from the inside of the front clip, but there still don't...

Well, today I discovered the oil dipstick tube hits the 6.5 driver side manifold. I massaged it into a sort of S shape so it will fit between the manifold and frame, but now the dipstick wipes against the tube on both sides and makes it impossible to read the oil level... Anyone have...

I have a vintage air kit in mine (1009, but the truck is the same where it matters from the firewall forward) The compressor mounting was extremely annoying with the 24v system and I still have belt wear issues now years later. Really the only good option is to go 12v and replace one of the...

Thanks, that's very helpful. I see you have the 6.5 turbo CDR instead of the original CUCV one. Do you know if there is a performance difference, or was it just easier to fit the 6.5 version?

I was looking at the S&B intake. Not cheap, but very easy and I'm tired of working on this project... Any chance you could share a picture of how it fits? They don't publish dimensions for the air box, and I have a lot of AC hoses and wiring on that side of the motor

I got the engine started up tonight and it seems to run well with the minimal timing advance from my last photo. I ran it for a couple minutes with the intake off and did not notice any leaks, so I installed the intake and turbo plumbing. I have another mostly unrelated question, but it...

In case anyone has this question in the future, I ran the wire off the front of the starter up to the fuel pump area and up onto the inner fender with the slave port cables, and from there back to the 24V block on the firewall. It's a relatively long cable, but it's the cleanest way I could...

The starter cable on my 1009 was routed from the 24v bus bar under the frame and to the starter when I got it. This seems unusual and I'd like to return it to the factory routing, but haven't found a diagram in the TM showing what that would be. Can anyone share a description or photo of how...

Yes. There is a $150 core charge which is not refunded if you do not send the old pump in, but if you pay it you do not need to send in the old one.

I bought it from Badger Diesel on the recommendation of a few members here. He was easy to deal with on the phone (a bit gruff, sort of reminded me of myself haha), and was up front about having a large backlog of parts ahead of me in his queue. I got the pump delivered about 3 weeks ago after...

I installed the new pump advanced by the width of the reference line. It was significantly advanced before and ran well, so hopefully this is a good compromise with the new pump. I'm sure I'll have to adjust it, but I'm just looking for a good baseline to get up and running. Photos of the new...

Sounds good, thanks. I was thinking a stretched chain would retard the cam and IP timing, so maybe someone was trying to bump the IP back to where it should be relative to the crank. Of course the valve timing would still be off in this scenario, but a timing set is more work than bumping the...

I'm replacing the injection pump on my m1009 and after cleaning off all the grease I noticed the timing mark was significantly advanced, about 0.100" Why would the previous owner have advanced the pump like this? To compensate for a worn timing chain? The truck ran fine but the IP was leaking...

I got the 6.5 heat shield, will try to fit that up this weekend. I think that will help a lot. The latest issue is apparently the SM465 slave cylinder interferes with the driver side exhaust manifold. Has anyone ever had a manual in one of these trucks with a 6.5 turbo? If so what did you do...

Ok, a short update with a couple more questions and photos With the short injectors installed and a tiny bit of bending on the starter heatshield, the turbo manifold seems to install without any interference. I don't have the injector hard lines on yet but I think they will clear no problem...
