the wiki only had the part number that i could see.

I wonder if they sold me the housing by mistake, it was a special order.
guess i'll wait and see when it gets here.
Hey guys what are you paying for the hockey puck thermostat part #42995?
Oreilys just drilled me for 43, plus 7 freight and tax so like 53 bucks.
Or is that the typical price?
thanks
Eric, welcome, great looking truck.
You need to replace your Glow Plug Relay, and your starter relay.
Go to the 2 FAQ's sections to figure out what to do.
Do the "dog head" starter relay modification instead of the plug in relay.
Beautifull truck. Congradulations!
Edit to add; Do not forget...
First off, are you even in the city limits?
If you aren't they don't have **** to say about it.
If you have no home owners association then neither does anyone else.
Hey,
Thought I would name names to give credit where credit is due.

Thanks again, and merry christmas to you guys and your families.
I think it may just be the seat belt alarm.
It made a buzzing sound the other day for the first time after i grounded it.
Had the alternators tested. Well, not bench tested but they put a 24 volt test light on
the batts. with the truck on, and they said it was reading 27 volts.
Then they put...
I will tmrrw. For now, it's coming from the top of the fuse box, don't know where from exactly. It's a skinny wire, like the smallest ive seen on the truck.
Its black with a white stripe.
Okay, "dog head relay conversion" still going strong.
Fixed the lights, I missed putting a fuse in when i changed all the fuses, thats all it was. lol
After having the starter rebuilt, it starts and runs.
Whether the original issue was the starter, or the alternators i dont know yet. Having...
Ok been digging thru the manuals but cant find a diagram for the lights.
Anyone have one they can post?
I've already changed all the fuses.
P.S. I just went thru my 3rd starter relay in a row. They are lasting about 3 starts on average.
I thought the borg warner was gonna be better and that the...
I know, lol, i checked that first. i'm feeble, but not that feeble, lol.
I've got company so i cant even get back into it till tmrrw.
Hope all you guys had a good thanksgiving.
I'll be back im sure begging for more help.
Partial victory!
Put new starter in yesterday, and it starts!
But... Now the lights/turn signals don't work, lol.
Im just so happy that the truck starts again it doesn't even bother me.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Yes he's an older guy who seems to know his stuff.
He actually worked on another CUCV for a guy locally,
did his alternators.
Hopefully, after the starter is done it will start, then i'll take it
to him to check the alternators/charging system.
Thats his main area of expertise, so with any...
So Rick,
Before i go pull the starter and have it rebuilt, what do you think that is?
It's definitly turning, i took cover off and watched it while my buddy turned the key.
Ok batts. topped off.
Starter turns but bendex does not kick out.
So it must be the starter.
Removing tonight, taking to starter guy in morning.
At least my electrical problems are over.
Oh ya, borg warner starter relay part # is R3066 on box.
It looks exactly the same as the AC40 from auto...
Progress!
Well today I got the cover off the bell housing.
Had my buddy turn key while i layed under truck with safety glasses and a
headlamp on.
Apparently either the starter relay or the ignition switch was bad because after
changing them the starter activates but is no longer running...
