That's my feeling as well. I have a question if you don't mind. My truck has the original style glow plugs and wire connector plugs. (32000 miles) many posts on this site recommend switching to the AC plugs and a wider connector to fit. I have one bad glow plug. Should I just replace the one bad...

Easy to test with a test light just to see if they are electrically open or not. I skipped the ohmeter tests. The main failure is when they become open, or lose continuity. Clamp your light onto the front battery positive terminal, unplug the glow plug and touch the tab with the probe. If the...

Interesting question. I just figured when they went bad but I'm interested in other opinions.

The vent windows on the CUCV trucks were better sealing than the civi counterparts for some reason. The dealership used to use them to fix annoying wind leaks if the customer agreed to black metal parts instead of chrome. *Edit: Oops, I hope this isn't hijacking. Just thought I's throw some...

These trucks are wired differently than the civi cousins.The upgrade is a great idea on these trucks due to all of the different circuits that normally run through the single 30a fuse. (headlamps, turn signals, horn, etc etc) It all stays under 30a so the fuse does not blow, but due to the high...

High enough to keep the light off.

Jccomer9, I reused my old o rings but bedded them in vaseline after making sure the grooves were clean. Worked great, no leaks. Recovery4x4, I don't get it.

No no K9Vic. Sorry, you missed my points all the way. The mod did not cause my relay to go out, but the inner wear and poor contact inside the relay caused it not to be able to get a good connection once the voltage was lowered. This has been discussed here before and is a common problem after...

Interesting that a lot of members complain after the glow plug resister bypass. I liked the cold starting better before also so I think I am going to put it back to 24v through the resister. The light stays on longer now which is not a large issue, but even after cycling the key twice the truck...

Just thought I'd give an update on this in case it helps somebody. I bought a 168 peanut bulb at the store and swapped out the 194. Gen 2 system starts charging as soon as rpm's come up like it used to. Thanks for putting that into my head patracy. Information obtained on this forum states Gen...

I appreciate you trying to answer my question with a real answer instead of a joke, as I truly didn't understand. If the rear battery is isolated on it's own system and used for starting, then how come the starter wouldn't engage even though the front battery was dead? (I left my lights on)...

I have zeros in the front with stock steering and the steering wheel is centered too. Axle is also forward one inch.

By charging the front battery with a 12v charger it also makes it back to the rear battery doesn't it? I killed my batteries stone dead and just hooked a charger to the front and in a couple hours all was fine.

Not a terrible price, but seems somewhat high seeing as it does not run and has brake problems. Probably needs a drive shaft too. Lots of rust on the interior chrome. Body looks clean and straight though which is a bonus. I'd say wheels and tires were added but they look good to me. If you are...

Looks like the paint just came off the air cleaner and it rusted?

I will have to do that when it warms up a little outside. The 1 downside to my truck being so tall is that I can no longer fit it in the heated garage. I don't know that much about this 24 volt system but apparently if the front battery is charging it eventually makes it back to the back...

The bulb is a 194 and the rest of the dash bulbs are 168s. I believe that I read that this is correct. Revving the engine does not do the trick like it used to. Even driving the truck at 65 mph does not put the light out until it's ready to start charging. The truck has 34k on the odometer and...

Did a search and could not find anything on this particular problem. Charging system was working great until one morning I noticed the Gen 2 lamp was burned out. Replaced the bulb and socket and lamp stayed on while running and Gen 2 was not charging. Lamp would go off after about a mile of...
