No overheating here... its like -1 out!! I just have yet to see any real reason for wanting to convert it.... Personally I wish my wife's 99 Suburban was 24v.... My 1009 starts 10 times better than it! I guess I cant grasp why people think the CUCV wiring is that complicated. It really isnt.

Easily could.

Not for nothing.... but how is hacking up your wiring, not really knowing exactly what you are doing, going to make it easier to diagnose/fix than a setup that many of us here can help you with off the top of our heads? You realize that the military system is every bit as simple as the civvy...

Why not fix the problems as to why it wont start. First... go through the glow plug system. Make sure its all up to snuff. Wellman 070 plugs, working controller, etc. Then, if you still have trouble, put a block heater in. Have it set to run for at least an hour prior to start. All your...

Nope and quite honestly... why do you want it? to collect salt water and rot out your fenders even faster?

Thats actually a ton easier than you think ;-)

That is the rule as me & chris last discussed it yes. We really want all the advertising in the classifieds... But this still allows for it to be pointed out for exposure and discussion. That said... I would prefer that it not happen for EVERY item put in the classifieds... but I understand...

I dunno.... the fuel burner in my 1009 has a problem... I have to keep turning it off. Even on low... and the window open... I roast when snowplowing!!! rofl Hands down... Fuel Burner!! Now that I have it working... I wish I had one for the wifes suburban!!

If you have 1/2" sticking out, I would not go to the drilling game. Get some really good penetrating oil, heat/soak many times. I have even heard of people heating it very hot, and dripping melted candle wax into the threads... You still have plenty of bolt to grab on to... I wouldnt try to...

I have one someplace.... I wonder if its covered in snow right now... rofl

The rule goes like this... Items for sale belong in the classifieds. If its posted there, you are allowed to post a link in a forum post about your ad in the classifieds. Items for sale on ebay are allowed to be linked in members items on ebay. If its not on ebay, or not in the classifieds...

Sounds like his pedal start system went awry DH! 84... there was a thread about 1-2 months ago with the same problem. I forget the outcome, what it was called, etc. But I remember seeing it. You might try looking for it?

If your truck wont start when the wait light goes off, your GP system is not up to snuff. I would suspect like jwaller says... you have failed plugs. I have never had to wait any longer than the light (routinely dont even wait that long) even in 5 degree weather. Certainly have never had to...

Personally, I suggest the block heater for anything under about 20.... Not that it needs it, but its SO much nicer on the engine. On cold mornings like today... I have the 1009 plugged in, when I leave for work, I switch the cord to the wife's burb. I just put an outside outlet in, fed from a...

They are 2 separate sensors. I think the CUCV has 3 total. One for the high-idle/cold advance circuit, one for the glow plugs, one for the dummy light. The Dummy Light sensor is on the drivers side head toward the front. The wire is green... and really easy to mix up with a glow plug wire...

Thats probably the easiest thing at this point... toss in a known starter.

Ah... In that case, it sounds more like not enough 24v :-) IF the starter relay under the dash is bad... it could cause it. You could have a loose connection down at the starter? A bad rear battery? And of course a bad starter. Test the rear battery first as its easiest.... if that tests...

I thought the 103 was longer than the 105?

Lance... what is chattering? The relay under the dash? Or the solenoid on the starter?

Lance, I would look at all the 12v connections.... Fusible Links, etc. Its sounds like you arent getting the full 12v from the front battery. BTW... My 1009 has started a similar thing to this... The front battery is weak. Saturday and Today both, it required a jump on that battery. I load...
