I've just bought an 86 M1009, It had trouble idling, you let off the throttle too quick and it will stall, it was probably a filter, or something simple. But I bought after the Portsmouth, NH Highway Dept. got a hold of it, painted it orange, and started running it on kerosene. So I figured I might as well check out the tank, so I dropped it, cleaned it, and im going to use some lubromoly diesel purge before i re-install the tank. But the sending unit was corroded on the inside of the tank, after sitting for two years with half a tank of off-road diesel... So to avoid future problems, I'm going to replace the sender. does anyone know the part number for napa, autozone, or wherever?
Suggestions are welcome for other mods/repairs. I started with the fuel system, and next is all the fluid changes; tranny, differentials, oil, filters, chassis lube, and whatever I gotta do to get it back into top running condition.
I'm new here, and to diesels in general, but I can take some flak, so have at it. I could stand to learn a few things.
