Right, I am considering going back to 24v and reinstalling the resistor pack. The GPs seem to heat up faster.
The GPs are new as the old ones failed in cascade style. They check bad with the ohm meter. I also ran the meter over all the wires in the card holder as specified in the -20 and...
I installed the new GP card I got from Antennaclimber (left) after the stocker (right) failed.
I notice the wait light stays on a lot longer with 12v than it did when the system was 24v. It still took two tries before it fired up too.
So my question is, are the more modern Bosch glow plugs...
I found a few CUCV pictures while looking for pictures of my service vehicle, the C-141B Starlifter.
Man this website is choking my work computer...bad. Trying again....
The glow plug system is still causing grief. I needed to move the truck out from in front of the garage to get the Liberty out and it fired up on the GP's second cycle- no problem. I left it in the neighbor's driveway (currently vacant) for about 15 minutes and tried to restart it but it...
After the new glow plugs it was starting great...for TWO days. Suddenly it wouldn't start at all. Lots of unburned diesel blowing out the pipes too. Today I got out the meter and opened the troubleshooting guide....again. I pulled the GP card out and put the meter on the wires- everything...
I parked on a steep hill nose-up all day, and the next day I parked in the same spot but severely nose-down, again all day. I don't know if that had anything to do with it but the day after that my brakes went spongy. Checked the reservoir and the forward chamber was almost empty, and I'm...
The sun finally came out so it was glow plug time. The truck didn't feel like starting and I probably misted a quarter tank of diesel out the tailpipes before it kicked off. I pulled it up in front of the garage and got the step-stool. I had picked up eight Bosch 80034 glow plugs for $65 from...
I experienced the dreaded No-Start this morning. It was probably about 48⁰, I cranked it a dozen times or so before it begrudgingly fired off. I took it to work anyway though, belts squealing with the alternators loaded down trying to recharge the batteries….
So anyway, I got home and...
I asked my wife how she'd feel if I traded the M1009 for a boat; she said she wouldn't be happy. She loves when we're out in the mountains crashing through the brush and not worried one whit about scratching the paint or getting high-centered.
One thing she's been asking for is a grab handle...
You can have a leak at the filter body that may not result in fuel escaping, but air entering. I had this same problem if I parked the truck nose-up. Parking level or nose down would cause fuel to seep, but it started just fine because that didn't allow air to enter. If I parked nose-up for...
