    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Except, if it's your resistor, you're gonna toast those glow plugs in short order as well....

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Not a problem with the relay. The resistor uses its own resistance aling with the resistance of the glow plugs to reduce voltage to 12v. ANY variance in the glow plugs or the resistor will cause either low voltage, which means higher amps and burnout, or higher voltage and burnout....once one GP...

    Fun with PA DOT officer ending in putting me out of service + $1200 in fines

    This is Bravo Sierra..... When I drove my M934 from Ft. Bragg to Seattle, I specifically called my state's Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (WA)...Which said that private = private = NO CDL.... I then called every state in my planned drive back, NC, VA, W.VA, MD, PA, and they ALL said that if I...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Fri. was my first 'real' test for my mods, batts having sat for a couple months without charge, using my batt disconnect switch to remove ANY draw from ANY system..... and testing the O-rings I changed out on my fuel pump in terms of there not being any leaks causing a loss of prime..... I...

    Deuce crash in Winston-Salem, NC, 11/2017

    I'm betting the family will sue for 'wrongful death', saying that the vehicle shouldn't have been on the road...

    Voltmeter - mapping voltages to markings

    I originally bought 2 similar to that one but fully encased, but opted for the round one instead. Round holes are easier to drill :p

    Ignition Lock Cylinder/Hot wire/Push-button start?

    Personal preference, really. If you can wire something simple like I did, it shouldn't be a problem. This I will disagree with 147%... Modifying isn't 'hacking into'.... Yes, there are idiots, but then there are people who design their modifications, and do so with reliability in mind. My...

    Ignition Lock Cylinder/Hot wire/Push-button start?

    Had a guy I know whose light switch went out on him.... Seems everyone has problem with those electronic switches... I'm thinking they were only designed to run with LEDs and people are running them with incandescent bulbs.

    Ignition Lock Cylinder/Hot wire/Push-button start?

    I removed the entire switch... ... Then used a voltmeter to check outputs at each position. I did have to remove the steering wheel to remove the locking pawl.....

    Ignition Lock Cylinder/Hot wire/Push-button start?

    I isolated Ign 1 and Ign 3 because it created a loop where the alternator was keeping the fuel solenoid actuated, not allowing it to turn off, hah. Make sure you do the same. For what you want, sounds something like this... https://www.amazon.com/KDL-Ignition-Switch-Carbon-Toggle/dp/B012NDSVS4/

    Ignition Lock Cylinder/Hot wire/Push-button start?

    Switches came from a member here.. Relays came from Amazon. Luckily, the system is super simple... You need to worry about 3 things... Starter, Hot on Run, and Hot on Accy. Constant 12V+ Red Ignition Switch Harness Starter Purple Ignition Switch Harness Ignition Pink Ignition Switch...

    Voltmeter - mapping voltages to markings

    Amazon has a dual voltage meter..... Less than $20.. I have one, need to install it. Per SS policy, NOT an auction... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0721PQCKD Easy to monitor each batt, front 12V and rear 24V combined.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    With people asking $1k+ for hard tops, it's really hard NOT to just weld one up.. ****, even a shop would charge less than that.. couple hours plus materials.... I'm 6'2 though, so I don't know if I'd make it that tall.. I do have a 934 though, so it may work...
