    Doghead relay mod not needed after July 1985 production

    Not quite sure from the photos, but it looks like the purple wire might be where the red one goes, and the red one might be where the purple one goes. Or the other way around. I could be wrong. For future readers, when doing this mod, make sure that you solder the wire ends to the terminal and...

    Doghead relay mod not needed after July 1985 production

    I noticed this the day I posted to it. I wondered why DH never fixed it. I assumed that it must be some inside joke that I was not privy to, and that in time would reveal itself. I have never questioned the validity of the DH relay mod, but now that I know that it is actually in print in a...

    BOSCH Duraterm Glow Plugs

    DH--- So, would you opt for Delco or Bosch? Bosch being a couple bucks more. All other factors equal.

    Gen 2 wire plug readings help

    OK, the solution to this one was so far out there that I really hesitate to post it, but it goes to show that anything could happen. The problem was in the alternator. The little tab that locks the plug in place was broken off and had fallen into the alternator and found itself wedged in the...

    major starting problem, please help!

    Is it really posting a link to an "auction" if the item only has a “Buy It Now” option? :razz:

    Non "Made In China" parts list.

    Thanks Dozer. I spend about 20 hours a week either attempting to procure, or assisting in the design and manufacture of parts we want to make available. In the early days of retail, there was a clear distinction between China junk and “Made in USA” . Later, that line got a little blurred. As...

    Gen 2 wire plug readings help

    One other thing he is doing this afternoon, is grounding the #1 wire test. According to my FEFI method (thanks Eric), my troubleshooting techniques usually involves a jumper wire or swapping something. So here goes this one. For the GEN1 exciter circuit (brown wire only...not the red wire)...

    Gen 2 wire plug readings help

    Great visual on the firewall connector Joe! That will be a lot of help for a lot of people. He does have battery voltage on the big red wire (1 RED-2N) His #2 on the 2 pin is good, but nothing on the #1 (1 BRN-25). Nothing else in that circuit that I know of except that firewall connector...

    Has GL grown a funny bone?

    I clearly don’t have much of a problem with glow plug controllers, and for that matter, resistors, but I really am not a diesel guy, so I was thinking of performing this bypass to my M1008, I do have a lot of Amish friends around here. So does anyone out there have clear instructions for the 6.2...

    Gen 2 wire plug readings help

    Thanks Tim, but I’m not sure. So I took the 1008 out the other day, and as I got on the road, I noticed that she was pulling to the right a little bit. Now, instead of thinking like a normal guy, and assuming that I need to check the air in the tires, I had visions of bad bearings and frozen...

    Convoy lights on M109?

    As the lights were meant to be seen mainly from behind, you are talking about mounting them higher than the box ? I would be afraid that it would be really cutting it close on those low underpasses.
