I once bought a 6.2 with a light engine rap. After putting a new crank kit in, (crank shaft, main & connecting rod bearings) It still rapped. Took the head off and imprinted on the piston top was the glow plug tip, its disintegration stamped in the aluminum. After replacing the piston &...

I have not had this problem. My CUCVs were all out working before I got them. Two are 12V and one is 24V start but messed with. None use the 24V to !2V resistor. All have 12 V coming from glow soleiniod. This is also true of my K-30s which were 6v glow. The AC -12 Gs have worked for me...

I was also checking this rig out on GL thinking it was was nice. After seeing what it went for, it seems to me that one could put a new dump frame on a regular chassis and come out ahead. I realize that collecabiltiy is important. But some of us can justify getting a deuce only if we can work...

The Chevy 6.2 is a low compression diesel that needs glow plug to start when engine is cold. regardless of air temp. If fuel delivery is ok, try to take out one glow plug. Take care not to break glowplug if heavely carboned, twist it out slowly. if it breaks, you should be able to retrieve glow...

I,ve changed most of my 6.2 fleet (7 trucks) to manual control as the factory systems have failed. I jump ground to glow plug control solenoid as described by others. Be sure to use 12 or 13 volt glow plugs on this conversion. The civilian 6.2 used a 6v fast glow plug ( ie AC G-9). This plug...
