Well my starting issues are a thing of the past. OK here's what happened from beginning to end roughly . Went to Napa to get a new glow plug solenoid. I believe they gave me the civilian version. (My fault). started having cold start issues and the front battery getting low? Something to...

Great idea. I will add a few additional grounding wires/straps. Thank you.

Bone dry.

I hooked everything back up and went to both ends of each side of the glow plug harness. Each side reads 24 volts when the glow plug is cycling. Isn't the card supposed to regulate it to no more than 16 volts? Well my new card from Hill Billy Wizard isn't. Need to have a word with them...

OK here is the latest. went out and checked the voltage going to the Relay. Its 24 Volts. Not 12 but 24. I disconnected the relay wire on the 24 volt block going to the resistors and just ran 12 volts straight to the glow plug relay. Measured the voltage to the glow plugs and its 11.98...

I will check first thing in the morning. Thanks.

Will check and see if the bleeder valve spews diesel out when I get home. Last night I went out and looked at it and the two wires coming from the top of the fuel filter manifold (red and black) were completely chewed through. Are those for the "water in fuel" sensor?

Before you adjust your shift points do this. Go under the vehicle and look up on the passenger side of the Transmission. You will have a shifting modual on the passenger side of the trans with about a 1" length of rubber hose connecting to the trans. When that hose gets old (80s vehicle) and...

A few months ago I ran into a strange issue. When I would start my CUCV I would smell an electrical burnt plastic smell. I knew instantly it was my Glow Plug card. So I disconeected it and continued on my daily travels. I parked the vehicle and pulled the card. No issues except every time I...

"IN"

For the Dana 60 rebuild. This would be the perfect time to throw in some 35 spline outer shafts.

Hi Guys and Gals, Well the beast is in need of some repair. Trying to recover my buried to the frame Campulance in mud with 150 of combined straps and Bow shackles. Well one of the 20,000 lbs rated straps broke and sent a bow shackle clean through my left rear door. The door was caved in and...

I hear they are looking for Submarine Techs........

Ive been to the junk yard several times trying to find the TV Bracket for someone. So far I have not found a one. I will keep looking. If I find two I will let you know.

Actually the 700R4 has a lower first gear (lower than the 4l80E) and I must say it has greatly improved the in city driving. You are correct about the Overdrive issue without a turbo. It definitely needs a turbo. Step Two.

I have 3 pictures of the TV bracket on post #126 of this thread.

The simplest and cheapest way to go is with a built 700R4. The 4L80E will also require drive shaft mods which are not cheap. Just another added cost. I will look locally for a TV bracket for you.

No turbo installed yet. Ive always had plans to but thought the OD trans and newer Tcase should be first.

I have had my Campulance back now for almost two weeks. I live at approx 6500 feet. Thats pretty high for a non turbo diesel. I took it on a trip to Overland Expo up and down some serious grades. On that trip I averaged 10.85 MPG. I was able to sustain speeds of 75 except on steep grades...

I have Dynamatt sound deadening , jute padding and high end carpet. I measured 13-1/4".
