I found out about them from TheDieselPage.com site. Bunch of testing and they found that these were better than AC-60 and when I bought them a few weeks back, they were on sale for $68 for a set of 8. Just check and they are back at their normal price of $80 for a set of 8...

Fearing the worst, I decided to tackle replacing the glow plugs. With a very happy surprise, all of them came out without any issues and none showed any signs of swelling. [thumbzup] I replaced them with a set of Kennedy Diesel Quick Heat glow plugs. Changed all of the connectors over to...

Could be the master cylinder has a bad seal at the piston side (which attaches to the hydroboost part) and it somehow drained back into that system. You could also have a bad rear wheel cylinder which could leak into the drum housing in the rear. Your soft pedal is because you have air in the...

I don't recall seeing it listed but did you replace your vacuum modulator on the trans? That was my problem... after replacing all the missing/broken vacuum lines. Now it shifts just like it suppose to.

How are you liking the Gear Vendors overdrive? I am about ready to pull the trigger on buying one. Visited their company last week and liked what I saw/heard. Would like a real world CUCV experience.

First off, I got your PM but not to bust you too hard but dude, it took me 4 times trying to read your message to understand it. Grammer, punctuation and at least reasonable spelling goes a long way. That said, here you go. In the harness that goes to the DUVAC/TwinPut (i.e. blue boxes) there...

Okay, here's a question for ya. If these glow plugs are rated at 11 volts and someone does the "12 volt bypass" to remove a faulty resistor bank, will supplying 12 volts to them cause them to burn out or swell?

Okay, this brings up a good question. Should the RPM's "snap" back to idle when you let off the pedal or should it "progress" back to idle (like a slow motion back to idle)? Being from the gas engine world, I am used to them kind of snapping back fairly quickly. My last diesel was 20 years...

So far, so good. Have it set to 10 seconds, which you can hear the solenoid click and the Wait light come on for 10 seconds then goes out. I can also use the manual override if needed or cycle the key again for another 10 second hit. I decided not to use the block temp sensor as they have been...

Just thought I should follow up. My electrical wiring friend was over yesterday to help do some work and he had seen this type of a timer before so was familar with how it worked. Using the TM, he figured out the stock glow plug wiring and how to modify it to use this new timer. We also did...

Yep, I just did the Doghead relay mod yesterday. Better safe then sorry.

When I did my 12 volt conversion, I bought a 12 volt gear reduction starter and had to buy a new starter bracket. GM has only used 2 styles, one for the direct drive (large case) and one for the gear reduction (small case). You have to have the correct bracket for the style starter you have...

Thanks mikelee. That is kind of what I was thinking the timed method would work. What I am still trying to get a handle on is, they include a 3 way switch, On, Off, Momentary On. I understand the wiring for the On position, it goes thru the timer to control the glow plugs but where does the...

Here's a pic I found online.

Hi everyone, I purchased a Peninsular glow plug timer, which will give me a set timed automatic glow plug control with a manual override should I need it. Problem is, I got the box late Friday evening and there are no instructions inside. I have searched the web for a wiring diagram but no...

Likely easier but I just bought this alt at $525. It's WAY more heavy duty than any of the standard alts. This thing can put out almost 90 amps at idle and about 210 amps max. With my plans of a 4 battery system, this alt works way better for my needs. I'll come up with a plan and looks...

Yeah, that is the original Sidewinder kit when they first released them. They since changed everything over to a front mount setup, I think to make more room for the A/C setup. Who knows? This old style would likely work better so maybe I need to find this manifold which would move the turbo...

Can you be more specific about FMS? A website by chance? I did a Google search and couldn't find a company named FMS in KY.

Let me add this pic, showing the bracket a little better. It still has the lower alterntor mounted, which I am not using anymore. I am only using the top spot. On the Banks kit, the crossover pipe runs under the front of the engine and comes up in front of the block on the pass. side. and I...

This system has to run on 24 volts so no go for me. As it is, from what I researched, they take a lot of current draw so you really need to have the engine running while you use it. They also don't have a thermostat so you really can't leave it running all night and have it come on only when...
