The proper stat runs about $25ish

You might also want to check your thermostat. Its common for someone to stuff the wrong one in (a most 'cheap' parts places sell the wrong one). When the wrong one is used, the water pump will hold the stat open, and it never closes.

no... there is a reason engines have thermostats. If your temp is too low, you wont burn the fuel efficiently.

Yes, its in your user options.

Your water temp is WAY too low. Cover up your radiator with something....

Well hell, had you said THAT before... ;-) your super duty will pull it just fine.....

By great distance I mean more than about 15-20 miles......

I would not suggest tow-barring a 1008 with a 1009 for any great distance.

if you pull up TM 9-2320-289-20 from the resources section.... On page 867 you will find the backup switch in the schematic.

Sure can! Granted... i have never heard my starter relay....

1008's come with the detroit. 1009's have the typical Gov-Lock aka G80 limited slip from GM

Here ya go.... This should help you tremendously. If you were to replace the relay with more of a 'solenoid', you would use the large terminals on the 24v wires.

It still exists on the old site.

Have you measured for voltage at the starter on both the big wire and the small one on the solenoid?

In the TM...

Why not just wait for a response from the other 2 threads you already posted in?

I dont think I can make it out there at this point. My vaca runs out.. and have to be back to work monday :-( What I can do, is start digging through the schematics in the TM's (which you could look at as well) and give you some testing procedures. The troubleshooting section could be quite...

I made the bracket comment more to make sure he didnt snap another starter...

Bjorn, the purpose for this relay is to switch the start signal from the ignition switch to 24v. Remember, 99% of the wiring in a CUCV is 12v.
