    1985 CUCV M1008 #2 GEN. Light

    Armada when a light remain dull even when driving, it could means that one of the three diodes is dead in the circuit board inside the alternator (needs servicing). As far the grounds, only one alt is grounded, the first one which is producing 12v between ground (ZERO) and +12. The second alt...

    Glow plugs by Indusa

    Uhm, wait a minute, I was talking about feeding 24v to the plugs through a switching current regulator, that would limit the amount of current they can drain, to obtain the same wattage=heat produced as when they are fed with 12v. I'm pretty sure that if you feed the plugs straight on 24v you...

    Glow plugs by Indusa

    Ok, you're right. The uneven drain at starting could mean not enough juice to spin the starter in very cold situations. But the idea of that resistor wasting the same amount of power the plugs are using, is somewhat upsetting... Wondering if it could be possible to wire each plug to a mosfet...

    Glow plugs by Indusa

    I see, they used that large resistor to drop 24v to 12v, probably to avoid having them to drain from one battery only. Honestly I don't understand why nobody at the project stage did think about producing real 24v plugs then, and remove the bulky resistor. Oh, well, however with the dual...
