Ok so i was driving home the other day from school and my truck is shifting really hard and i have to let off the gas to get it from 2nd to 3rd. and as i am on the highway it doesn't want to go faster than 54mph and i have gray smoke coming out of the exhaust when i am going 54, is this a...

ok well i am in process of converting my truck now to 12 volt, and i no longer have a starter relay the owners before me just put in a push button switch for the starter. so i will just send 12v to that push button. and hope that converting the system fixes the problem.

ok guys im sorry lol yea i must be completely stupid but, i just got a brand new gear reduction starter on my 6.2 cucv. do i need a remote solenoid? or why does it engage when main post connects to power not starter switch?

it still has 24 volt but i was going to connect it right to the battery which is 12v and then i have 12 volt where my manual starter push button is so i will switch it from 24 to 12 there also.

anyone have a 24 to 12 conversion for starter, i need diagram. engine turns when connection top post on solenoid to power ?????? so im confused

ok put in the new gear reduction starter and confused about the wiring now, shouldent it be the big wire/ top post goes to constant 12v(or right to 12v battery terminal), and the small wire/ left post on starter solenoid goes to 12v. and for my starter switch i have to relay it is a manual set...

ok well looks like i am going to get a flexplate too, and there is 24v where there is supposed to be 24 and 12v where that is needed.

this is the worst section

yes the glow plugs are also a push button. and in teh engine bay i have like ternimals on the firewall that are 24v, and on the driver side there are 2 that are 12v.

yea let me go take a pic, also i am not sure if it matters but the people before me have a starter push button no relay? would that make a differnce?

no they were all 24v starters and im not sure yet on replacing the flex plate i dont know really if i need to?

it is most original, i still have 24v post's with the two optima battery's, and i also have 12v posts.

ok i just took my starter to the rebuild shop and they gave me a free brand new gear reduction starter, just hook up 12v to it?

it is a actual starter shim. and i was told after the i think 3rd time it broke that i should shim the passenger side bolt only to bring it closer to the flex plate. and there is like 4-5 teeth that have like a 1/8 grinded off of the teeth should it still be good?

the flexplate is just a little warn looking but i think there is still plenty of enough on the teeth to catch

when i first installed the starter it sounded normal and i shimmed just the passenger side. and then about 2 to 3 weeks it started gettting a lil louder and then it started to wine, and now it just makes a noise like a ele. motor.

yep the rear bracket is on

alright so getting a new flexpalte sounds like it should fix the problem am i right?

where is a little section that is warn but seems like it shouldend really be skipping
