My 1985 M1028 will not start and im not quite sure why. its been haveing trouble for a few weeks, but today it would not start at all.
The wait light comes on and stays on for a long time (nearly 30 seconds). I hear the solenoid click.
So far, I've replaced the air, oil, fuel filters, and batteries. Yesterday after replacing the batteries, the truck started right up.
This morning though it would not start, so I went ahead and replaced the glow plugs because I thought that might be a problem (because of the long wait light). I also cleaned the control card with an eraser.
I've checked the voltage on the batteries and the voltage at the glow plugs. Both are good.
I tried taking the truck out of park and putting it back in park. No joy. Tried in Neutral, no joy.
does anyone know what could be wrong?
what I am missing?
