Hey everyone, looking for some quick help here. I'm at work and I went to leave to pick up dinner and my truck wont start. Its a 1986 M1009, 6.2L diesel. I can tell the glow plugs are not coming on. I turn the key and the "wait" light goes on for quite awhile then turns off. And I can see decent voltage so I know the glow plugs are not lighting. Whats the deal? I'm going to go do some searching now in the diesel section and see if that turns up anything.

Thanks for any and all help, I would really like to get this home tonight to avoid a tow

Finally had some time to mess with it. Loose connection with the wires at the glow plug relay. Got the truck back home
 
None of the glow plug parts worked and half were missing (nitemare)on my 1008, I wired it up on a momentary switch and changed all the glow plugs. The only part i bought was the glow plug harness since that was a mess, the plugs were all either broken or wouldnt stay on the glow plug.

Glad you got it running and home....
