your batteries were not shorted or missing so the truck was able to jump start from the nato plug. If any one wants an exercise, take your front battery out and try to jump it. or take your front battery cables loose and connect them together and try to jump it. The jump start does not work...

The system is designed for a jump start of a dead battery. If the front battery is bad, the truck wont run. If the 12 volt alt dies, the truck will only run until the battery no longer opens the IP. It is a jump start system for a low battery, it is not a fix for a shorted battery. It will not...

if your front battery has a dead short or dead, you have no 12 volts until your alts start producing. thus you cant heat glow plugs. if the front battery is just dead, it will produce 12 volts with the 24 running through it so the IP will open. IF the front battery is completely shorted or...

I have a compression gauge and correct adaptors to check through the glow plugs if you need to borrow it. I travel to college station a lot Will be going tomorrow morning. I could probably meet you somewhere on 290 and let you borrow it. this way you know if it is valves or cylinder and not a...

For those wanting to keep the resistor for jump starts, it takes about one minute to connect it when it is needed. just leave the wires connected to resistor leave the resistor in place and just disconnect it from the 24V terminal and tape it up. Disconnect it from the glow plug relay and tape...

I don't feel bad either cucvrus, all the parts we discussed are sold at autozone so we did not derail the thread. LOL

your speed will be down to 55 or 60 tops unless you make changes. IF that is ok, the power as far as speed will be the same but your torque, hauling and payload will be much better.

Disconnect the wire that goes from the 24V block on fire wall above heater fan and disconnect the same wire from the resistor. The wire on the other side of the resistor needs to be removed and reconnected with a fusable link to the 12 volt terminal block that is next to the glow plug relay...

through all of my reading over the last 6 years since I got into the 6.2 and 6.5 is that the 6.2 has more crank failures and the 6.5 has more head failure due to cooling issues. In many threads on the 6.2 I read they believed heavy torque at low rpm broke the crank. It may just be coincidence...

The 6.2 can be a good motor if you do not push it to hard. putting a turbo on will wake it up and give it more power but be careful one the gearing. a 6.2 run at heavy load and low RPM is know to have crank failures. When you put the 4l80e in you may need to change the gears. The motor...

The glow plugs pull some where between 750 and 1000 watts of power. It would take a larger converter and the resistor is more reliable. If you do not need to jump the truck from another 24 volt truck, just bypass the resistor. If you have another nato truck and you want the jump start ability...

yes, you can have to much grease packed in the caps. There are some varying opinions on u-joints. Some say sealed are best, grease ones are bad. Some like the other way around. Most serious off roaders are now using sealed u-joints because they are solid and not hollow. Thus much stronger...

Curious why not use 6.5 block? All of that upgrade to stay 6.2 you can still detune a 6.5 and have a little better block. I would stay away from TCI controller. The US shift is the same or I think better. I had a real bad experience with TCI. They sent me a trans controller with an efi...

I would try them, so you can give everyone feed back on the site. Looks like you are the first to run across them. They look like there would not be much of a balance problem with them. rich

I think it will work but I believe if you run the inserts the 24 bolt ones are much better to run. Less weight and balance much better. I don't have any but I did research them when considering to use them and that is what I learned. I also learned that I do not need them. Others may know...

If you cant find anything, best to monitor fluids over time. It could also be your trans over flow. If it is to full or gets hotter than normal, fluid can come out overflow/pressure port. It has a steel line coming out of the tranny about 3 inches. you can put a clear tube and small plastic...

if you have a fuel leak, you would have hard starts and long cranking times. if your truck starts right up, it is an oil leak

they normally only come out of line if you jack with them trying to turn them back. it is actually best to try and roll them forward back to zero and not backwards I was successful in doing this with one of mine and nothing broke when it flipped over. i have taken a two apart and managed to...

get rid of the run flats and keep the hummer rims and tires. use pvc sleeves so you still get double bead lock. run flats are useless unless you are actually going into combat. They will ruin any tire if you run on them very long. centramatics probably wont fix it completely, will help...

put a jack under the frame on passenger side near radiator and jack that side of the truck up for a little more room. Remove the drive shaft it is easy and worth the time to get out of the way. you can just unbolt it at diff. and push it over to side or tie up out of way. normally don't have...
