Long answer: No expert but I'd suspect your step down resister was starting to go, or one of your plugs was bad... whatever it was the controller didn't detect the proper voltage and defaulted to a protective mode where it cycles in order to heat, but also not burn out the plugs... IIRC this...

:-? had 4 good starts then big fail... was in a parking lot.... luckily I had wrenches with me so I loosed the bolts and tightened them back down. Fired up. Drove home and swapped in the .040 shim... have had the stomache flu (yes over thanksgiving) and haven't been anywhere but the...

The horn switch activates a relay... it could be part of the problem too... I just trouble shot a very similiar failure... I traced it to a loose head lamp fuse... I cleaned the contacts and pushed them closer together with my test probe... we'll see how long it lasts. After I did this my...

I took my fuse block apart today to trouble shoot some frustrating electrical issues... Here are my pics I hope it helps... it helped me to understand how the blocks were wired and what the electrical diagrams were telling me. First find the two bolts and remove them, then place a flat head in...

I just trouble shot a few electric things today... lost all lighting and had already bypassed the tactical lighting/black out switch... so I poured over the electrical diagrams. I think the simple answer is by passing the power for the head lights first through through the tactical...

Thanks for closing the loop on this one. Glad you had a spare! Good luck with the warranty. I followed the TM when I discovered the bad ground... would you believe it doesn't direct you to check the ground! :mad: And it scrares the crap out of the inlaws when you hit the accelerator to...

I just put a push button on the light blue wire at the controller card in case it fails this winter... here are my pics. GP bypass and card bypass complete! ETA: Doghead, I updated my sig... my M1009 is a 1986... thanks for the positive word. It means a lot coming from you!

It fired and ran good for almost a month!... Then it would go 'pop' but it didn't sound like a full on, 'Im a weak solenoid... or you got weak batteries' pop... I surmised the gears weren't meshing by the sound... but the bendex wasn't protruding enough to start the starter spinning... it...

i guess I was misinformed or miss-remembered... I understood shims weren't required with the 28MT & the TM is written for the 27mt. That said, I just put the shims that were on the old 24v 27MT back in between the starter and the block (didn't tear anything apart to measure), just like the...

Ok... we got a great thread on starters and bolts here... but what about shim's? I'm pretty sure that I read the 28MT starter didn't require shimming. But now my new 12v 28MT starter solenoid clicks and won't start and I'm wondering if it needed shimming... any thoughts? in the delco...

I installed a standard 3/8 in line prefilter. Fram G3 Disposable. They are cheap and readily available. See my post here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/48444-electric-fuel-pump-install-2.html

I had my civi 6.2 die on me like this... and when I put the pink wire on the solenoid no click... check the ground... one of the two bolts on the solenoid will have a flat tie to another bolt on the IP (near the throttle linkage)... just put a short wire on the grounded terminal of the...

i can understand that! too bad my junk yard didn't have newer suburbans or I'd have used their seat too!

I can't speak for any other truck... or 'right or wrong' but I pulled the very slightly damaged bolt when i pulled the old 27MT bracket... I got my metric tap/die set out and it didn't match... whipped out the SAE and 5/16x18 was perfect... hit it with just a bit of oil and the die spun...

Not an expert but as I understand it: In the couple diesel engines I've worked on the fuel is constantly being sent to the injectors, but not at enough pressure to 'pop' them and inject the fuel. When the IP needs a cylinder to combust it sends a pressure pulse to that injector, once the...

I'm having trouble with my truck.... I park my civi J code diesel nose up in my drive way and it always starts on the second kick of the starter after sitting all night... then its good all day on the first touch of the starter... I've checked the glow plugs with an Ohm meter... they are...

You don't need to to the mod... but you probably should remove and bypass the starter relay... see this post: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/76791-cucv-under-dash-starter-relay.html

not sure what seat you are referring to. but i just mounted a seat from a 90's suburban in my 87 suburban. the shoulder straps on it were on a retractor that bolted to the ceiling/wall transition and wouldn't work... so i pulled center lap belts from two other seats and swapped them to the...

I just bought and installed a new 12v 28MT starter from ebay as part of my Roscommon Electric 12v conversion. Seller was RareElectrical... $90 shipped! Got it in less than a week. I bought two new starter bolts for a 6.5 (GM 15544950) from the local GM dealer... $16. I also bought the...

Just like everyone harps on here... when looking into any task with your MV... take some time and read the TM... and when TM is said think more than one manual... start with the -10 operators manual then -20 and finally the -34. the -p manual are exploded parts and wiring diagrams and are very...
