glow plug for hvmee in m1009

[AllenEM]

is it ok to put early 6.2 hmvee glow plugs in a m1009? are they 12v or 24v?

 

[emmado22]

HMMWV glow plugs are 24V.. CUCV's are 12V.

 

[AllenEM]

even the older 6.2 hmvee's

 

[jwaller]

sure you can put them in but they wont work. hmmwv plugs have a round connector on the end and cucv's have a flat spade connector.

 

[emmado22]

Yes, all HMMWV's are 24V. The 6.5, 6.5NA, and 6.5Turbo.

To our experiance here you can use any HUMMVEE glow plugs. They are all 24 Volts. You have to modify the connecting harness. HUMMVE glow plugs have a regulator built in, M1009 glow plugs not, this stuff is in the glow plug control, as long as it works (Never over 120000 miles to European experiance.)
24V glow plugs are a considerable change, if you change the pre glow sysrtm as well. The registor is obsolute, the harness should be home made for the 12/2.8 Volt stuff is unuseable. The pre glow module than also is for the trash.
Try hard!

Hmmm... I wonder what was done to mine ? Someone made connectors and put round ones in my CUCV. I gotta put a volt meter on them. I got a feeling the idiots at fleet Main put the wrong glows in and made them fit.

pre glow system? what is that. If I change the connect to the round and remove the restor pack and run 24 volts to the glows wouldn't that work?

 

[WorkingDeuce]

Hmmm, 24V glowplug conversion and upgrade from the dumb CUCV 12v box in the process(wheels turning).

Oh well might as well throw an Optimizer 6500 in there while we are at it(sarcasm).

The M998 system is longer lasting and more reliable in cold weather,right?

Maybe AllenEM can break new ground for us after acesneights1 posts a pic of his fine piece of motorpool mechanic engineering

The maintenance budget for M1008/M1009 has been ZERO for how many years? If they were still using them they would have to have come up with something from the existing parts pipeline just to keep them running,eh?

just put the hmmwv plugs in with a push button a make it work. cheap and simple.

 

[AllenEM]

that is what i was thinking bypass the restor bank and put a push botton to turn on the glow plug relay so 24v to the glow plugs right?

 

[AllenEM]

well I installed the 24v glow plugs bypassed the restor bank and installed a push button. now I not getting voltage thru the relay. I not 100% that the relay worked before because all but one glow plug looked good. going to get new relay this week sometime.

 

[AllenEM]

HUMVEE glow plugs are working great now that i have a good relay. push the button for 5-7 sec and she fires right up.

thats great to hear. now make sure you keep the as cool as you can. don't overheat them. about once a month take your ohm meter and check them all too see if you have 1 going bad. you will notice is will slowly get harder to start. thats the way my hmmwv works.
