    M1031 generator speed control

    Sarge, I noted u & jbolty was thinking of rev up eng to get power. Also said something about putting on a hand throttle. I don't think this is going to work because the govenor acutally increases the speed of the engine (6.2) when a load is put on the generator. For instance when I hook mine up...

    Troubleshooting a transmission

    Unless you have already done this, the FIRST thing I do when I get any of the trucks or blazers from GL is pull trans pan and check the filter.

    How long do you activate the glow plugs?

    It all depends on how on temp. of engine. As my general rule if truck has not been run overnight & temp. is above 40 deg F I normally just push in button & count to 10 (approx) 10-12 secs and try to start. If it don't fire after 10 sec, then I hold button again & count to 5 and try to start...

    1031 contact maintenance truck

    Glad they helped you. Any type 220v welder say from Lowe's (lincoln 225) Remember the air compressor that comes and wired to this unit is running off of 220v 3ph. Just set your welder in the truck and plug it into the 220v "single phase" outlet as most of them are 1ph (single phase). Should work...

    wot start acts like out of fuel

    NO . Sounds like the resistor on firewall may not be reducing volts from 24 down to 12 & less to the glow plugs. Use volt meter -set it on 200 DC volts and ck when you turn switch on & hear the solonoid click volts should read 24+ for a sec or two then go down to 12v or less. If its not doing...

    M1028 Trans switch from TH400 to 4L80E

    Thanks guys. As I understand it the computor module in GM3500 contols everything in truck, engine etc. Trying to isolate just the trans functions would be a task. I would have hoped that someone might know of someone beside TCI (who seems to be more hi-perf oriented) which I don't need --I'm...

    M1028 Trans switch from TH400 to 4L80E
