Well sh@#.... A five cent resistor solved the problem. I cut the yellow wire that leads to the temperature sensor and put a 680 ohm resister in series. It turns out that at some point they swapped glow plug controller modules. I got a feeling that the temperature sensor isn't the one that...

Well..... I took the truck in to a local diesel mechanic. . He told me that the truck ran too good for it to be a IP problem. I had him installing a new shut off solenoid and I drove it home and it still wouldn't start hot. I tried hitting it with 24 volts just to make sure it wasn't hanging up...

airmech Thanks for the info. I'll check them out. I let the engines on GL go. I figured if I buy anything else my wife is going to kill me:twisted:

Not too far from Bamberg:-D I'm hoping to go to the Eagle's Nest in Oberzalberg when we go not to mention attending my second Oktoberfest.:beer:

I think he's more interested in getting his new toy running than showing it off. :razz:

It's probably not worth it. More hassle for the few parts I would need.:cry: Just thought that if I need a new injector pump, it might be worth having spare glow plugs, water pump ect. Too bad GL raised the minimum start bid to $150.

You didn't answer the question. Where at in Germany. I'm headin' back in September with my wife to Bamberg. Going for my Father-in-laws 75th Geburtstag. Those Germans know how to throw a birthday party:-D

I saw one on E-bay.

I just ordered a IP solenoid off e-bay for mine but the IP may be going bad as well. If the pump is the same less the solenoid it might be worth it just for the parts. Not sure though. You say that the water pump is the same less the pulley? I doubt if the engine even runs. It may just be...

Welcome to the board.:-D There's a lot of information available on the CUCV FAQ articles page along with all the tech manuals. Here's the link Cucv - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite Doc

I've been calling around to a few junk yards here in town. I'm stopping by one tonight. I need the 8 lug wheels. I think they have a set. I got pricing on new 37" super swampers for my 16" rims. The tires would cost more than I paid for the truck:roll:

That shoots down that Idea. There are 3 or 4 6.2L HUMMWV engines on GL in Columbus that nobody's bid on. I may need a new IP and I was hoping that I could pull the IP, glow plugs and water pump off for spares.:cry:

My gen2 light stays on when I first start as well. Once it's up to speed she turns off and stays off. The volt meter also just goes just into the green. It doesn't seem to be a problem. I'm not sure which is which but one Gen charges one battery and one charges both. Go to the CUCV forum and...

Most of my repair was bodywork. I've had a minor service light issue and now it looks like I have a IP solenoid going bad. She won't start hot. :cry:I've been posting about the problem over the past couple of days and received a lot of help. :-D I'm hoping to finish mine off by the 4th of...

I didn't have to pee and I couldn't get the wife up on the bumper:-D

How long have you had it? I started restoring my M1028 back in February, 30 hours a week sense then. I stripped her down to the cab and replaced a lot of metal. She's on the road as of last week but I still have more to go, gettin' close though. :-D

Does anybody know if any of the parts on the HUMMWV 6.2L diesel are interchangeable with the 6.2 Detroit in a CUCV?

IP Solenoid I sure will. Especially if it doesn't work:grin:

I just ordered a solenoid off Ebay. There may be other problems but I think this is a god place to start. Thanks for the link Westech:-D

IP Solenoid It does appear as though the IP solenoid is the problem with the hot start issues. I took the truck out for a spin and let her sit for a few minutes after I got home and she wouldn’t start. I ran cold water from the garden hose over the pump for about five minutes and she started...
