No resistance to the lightbulb over my head I see what you mean now. A resistor is not constant. I always thought a resistor was a limiter, or a reducer, like connecting a straw to a hose. Thank you doghead for explaining it. CUCV Electric's website was great. Thanks for sharing. (For...

Is there a post that explains this? This is not the first time I am hearing about it, but I can't wrap my mind around a resistor that changes the resistance based on the amount of flow. Is there a post on this somewhere? In today's language, one might say it is a "smart resistor". I am...

Tonight, I measured the voltage to the glow plug relay and found it was getting a full 24+ volts. Decided that phase two was more important. I took apart the gp resistor and found it was burnt out. I cut the wire, added a new terminal and bolted it to the 12v diamond bus above. Phase 2 is...

Abbylind, I just researched this and got some good information. "Antisieize makes it impossible to obtain proper torque." Autolite.com says, "Anti seize compounds are typically composed of metallic, electrically conductive ingredients. If anti seize compounds come in contact with the core...

GPrez, good info. I found the tools you are referring to, the OTC 6005 (min $70 on Ebay) and the jjandaracing.com Glow Plug Tool ($95 + shipping). Both grab the threads of the gp and forces it out as it lifts. They both seem a little pricey for something used so seldom. One thing I could do...

Does anyone know why I have to raise the piston to the "top dead center" in order to get out a broken gp tip? I have not seen any advice on this site to do this so it sounds like an engine movement I would not want to do when there is a broken tip. Concerned and confused

Thanks, Mistaken1. I have all the TMs downloaded (and use them frequently) but can't find a GP system flowchart to save my life. But I think I found what Doghead was talking about, page 2-62 of TM 20, "Electrical Troubleshooting - Glow Plug Module". It isn't a flowchart but it takes me leaps...

Thanks, CPF240. I am very glad you saw that I accidentally referred to a 12 volt bypass. I will look for a good link.

Thanks, Philjafo. I will look for those resistance values and test each one.

I just bought a M1009. The first thing I did was the Doghead Relay modification. I followed the instructions and it took me 30 minutes. Easy and I feel I accomplished something. [thumbzup] The next phase has to do with the glow plugs. This is a work in progress. My concern is that I might do...
