I have tried to read as many threads as possible before posting this question. Have a glow plug system issue where the Wait Light does not come on, GP Relay cycles every few seconds about 6 times then stops cycling (GP Relay 1 year old) and no start. Batteries are fully charged, Engine Control...

Thanks for the replies. I'll try this weekend when temps get above freezing.

Looking for some advice with what I think is a voltage gauge issue that when truck is running gauge stays in the high end of the yellow range, never goes into the green range. New belts, new drivers side alternator, 2 new Optima Red Tops. With truck off, front battery voltage is 12.5 and rear...

I have followed all the wonderful threads with regard to alternator issues. Have determined that Gen1 alternator is in need of a rebuild. Going to order the rebuild kit from CUCV Electric as many have suggested. Was also thinking of buying a new alternator from Rare Electric " OEM Isolated...

Fixed!! The wires going through the firewall and then to the blower had a spot worn from vibration. Wrapped good with electrical tape and now all is good. Thanks to all! Much appreciated!

Thanks for the info, I will start looking for the short. A week ago I was brushing snow off the hood and a fat mouse came out of the cowl right above the blower motor. Probably the cause of the problem.

Having a problem with the blower motor blowing the fuse on my 1986 M1028. This problem just started yesterday, before that blower worked normally at all speeds. Now when I turn the blower on with the truck running the fuse blows and the Gen 1 light comes on. When I turn the blower switch off the...

No did not bleed the system, only bleed the fuel filter as suggested. What is involved with bleeding the system?

It appears that the fuel line I drilled thru and repaired is the Fuel Return Line. Does this still mean I have air in the lines?

Thanks guys, tried your suggestions and still no luck. Pulled pink wire from IP, used Warthog's trick with the tube and bottle, cranked three 10 second cycles waiting 30 seconds in between cranks (solid stream of fuel each cycle, about a quart of fuel pumped total) closed the bleeder valve and...

Have 86 M1028 that ran like a swiss watch. I am installing a Western plow and while drilling a hole in the passenger side frame for plow mount I drilled the lower fuel line. I have replaced the damaged fuel line with a section of rubber fuel line and now truck will not start. Truck starts for a...

I spent most of the week end working on the welder/generator. Turns out that the starter solenoid was bad. replaced the solenoid and engine cranks. Had no spark so replaced points, condenser, cap, rotor, coil, wires and plugs and the engine fired right up. Thanks to everyone who helped me...

I cleaned all conections, checked the ground, installed new deep cycle battery and still just clicks. It clicks at the starter and at that shiny thing with the tube on it. I did take power directly to the starter and it did engage and turn the engine over, so not the starter.(thanks for that...

Dose anyone have a good condition bench seat for a M1031 near Michigan? Mine came with M1009 seats in it.

Thanks all for your input. Manuals will be very helpful. I see now how the unit pulls out on the rail system. I removed the spark plugs and every thing looks good inside the cylinders I then pulled the panel in the passenger side front compartment and removed the shroud around the flywheel and...

Just picked up a M1031 Contact truck with a G204 Hobart Welder. Tried to start the Wisconsin engine of the welder and the starter just clicks. Thinking it has a bad starter. Dose anyone no how to get at the starter for removal? It is located on the back of the engine up against the front wall of...
