So, I completed the fuel filter replacement today on my M1009. Switched to a Napa spin on thanks to the instructions provided by other SS readers. Works great. Started right up, no leaks, no problems. Turned the truck off and went on to other tasks.
The wife got home, asked what I had beed doing all day. Showed her and started up the truck. After about 20 seconds, engine starts smoking. Quickly shut it off. After inspection, the wire going to the glow plug right under the filter looks like the insulation fried.
After about 20 minutes, of doing other stuff, I started it up again. No problem, no smoke, seems fine other than the insulation messed up on the wire. It was getting dark and I had other obligations so I have done nothing else yet.
Any ideas? Was it related to the filter swap? Maybe I dripped fuel on it causing the problem? Maybe it got pushed up against something hot? Coincidence?
