Hey Guys, Trucks going up for Sale. Been sitting in my shop for way too long. Wasn't allowed to have fun hobbies anymore (still not I guess). Everything is the same. Barely any miles put on it since my Last post. Shoot me an email for the particulars that may not be mentioned in this thread...

Where abouts is the fuel shutoff? Is it near the pump. The only click I get when engaging the ignition is the glow plug relay. I have a dead man switch on the neg side of the system (assuming it's for security) it seems to be fine.

Ok, I got it to fire. One or more of the Glow plugs are sh!t. Truck WILL NOT start without them. So I jumped the rail directly to the battery and the Effer starting in less then one turn. As for it dropping power, I have no idea... it hasn't done it again. I'm still going to eliminate all...

So no-one has any insight to my starting issue? I changed the starter so the battery draw is gone. it rolls over nice now, but seems to kick out power at about 3 seconds on the key. Also doesn't start. Is there a shutoff solenoid on this or an oil pressure switch or something I'm missing? Glow...

So this is our little tour truck for showing people how the Water Buffalo live on our farm. I figured this truck would be a wee bit better for that then my 80. Its a 2003 79 series with a 1hz diesel Problem is, I got this truck from a mine up here in Ontario (well, off a friend who got it...

Dude, you're famous!

Awesome thanks Max!

It's the compushift 2. It is sh!t. Was is a thread by @turbophil? I'll have a look, see if I can find it. @gdctaco has his *useable* but it's not perfect. I'd be happy to have mine like his

Ohhhh upright. No, I'm not that either :-D

Hey! I may be Canadian but I am NOT UPTIGHT!!! hahahaha

Any of you guys that have done the Dustin Cummins swap have any luck with the shift controller? Specifically with A343f tranny? Just wondering what your parameters/shift points are set to. I'm having a hell of a time getting the truck up to 50... and when it gets there it's SCREAMING it's head off

Absolutely awesome write-up budday! Helped me HUGE ;-)
