Agree with everything the guys have already mentioned.
The CUCV stickies will have the belt sizes.
Replace them all at same time. Not just two.
If you haven’t already, replace every single rubber fuel/vacuum line.
Including the 2” piece on the transmission vacuum modulator.
The rubber...
Sounds like a modified electrical system.
A stock system operating properly will not cycle the glow plugs when engine is warm.
The GP temp sensor will tell the GP card not to activate them.
No wait light illumination either.
Has the wiring been modified?
Are you giving it any throttle...

The LED bulb draws almost nothing.
If you rotate the headlight switch all the way...
Installed a transfer case shift indicator light.
The ACDELCO bulb socket worked great
A Philips 194 LED bulb will not get hot in the tight space and puts out plenty of light
More than enough to see the selector and isn’t distracting at night.
The CUCVs didn’t come from factory with the...
