Welcome from just a bit North of you.

welcome man! definitely read all you can. The wealth of knowledge on this site boggles the mind, some of them have answered pretty much every question you can imagine and get cranky repeating themselves for the 20th time (or more). Google the question followed by steelsoldiers in your...

Welcome from Canada... do yourself a favor and go through the CUCV stickies. Also searching on this forum can be tricky but if you google search your topic and add steelsoldiers it helps narrow it down. Glowplug relays, Starter relays, Vacuum issues and bears, oh my. search em. learn them...

mine is already done and has been for 7 years or more. Im tracing and sourcing out a problem and just making sure its all wired correct while Im going past....

conclusion today, that the slave cable was rubbing against the weapons support plate,

holy crappola, something all the owners out there should run and check

not to resurrect the dead here, but Im tracing a fault and my searches brought me to the moon and back. I have only a manual push button on my GP's. Doghead, this guy went wrong grounding the blue line then adding another ground off the manual switch correct? I read it twice and it seems he...
