Wait light has been an issue on my rig for some time. It is very inconsistent. The past few days, I’ll turn on the key and the wait light is off with the relay under hood staying silent. Voltage also doesn’t drop. When I start the truck, the wait light immediately comes on and the relay...
I haven’t had a chance to tear in the wiring but the past two days have been warmer and the cycling has been going away after the truck is good and warmed up. Could it be that the thermostat is too low and I need a hotter one?
I put about 8oz in half a tank of diesel Andy then I filled it up and added another 16oz.
Any tips on getting her freed up and running again besides waiting until it warms up? I don’t really like that I had to leave it at a customer’s business.
We’ve had single digits this week. My CUCV froze (fuel gelled) while idling on a job site yesterday. I put additive in the fuel as well as a new fuel filter. I was using cardboard to block the radiator and the defrost ranges from 100-120 degrees. Anything I could have done differently?
Yeah the old one did it as well. I’ll have to try and trace the wires from the sensor the the card. The two wires have electrical tape so could be an issue with the connection somewhere. I’ll check and report back.
Update: I went to town about an hour ago and it took a few times cycling the GPs to fire up. But I let her sit for about 20-30 min to warm up and I blocked off the grill with cardboard. When I came outside to leave, the the GP card was no longer cycling and off I went. After a few minutes on...
I just checked resistance on the one I pulled out. Showed 9000+ in my garage. It’s 5 degrees outside but probably a little warmer in the garage. I brought the sensor inside to test warmed up and see what it reads. It’s definitely working. I tested it under hot water and cold water and it...
Thanks. When I said recently, I meant within the last 10 months for the total list.
Two months ago I rebuilt Gen 1 due to the romantic glow and I also had the intermittent clicking noise with volt meter abnormalities. Yesterday I changed plugs to AC Delco 13gs, it had another set of AC Delcos...
Thanks. I thought that the clicking was coming from the glow plug card but I wasn’t sure. Tomorrow I’ll put a piece of cardboard in front of the grill and see if that helps warm it up and stop the cycling.
Hey Fellas,
I’m having an issue with the volt gauge and electrical system. My batteries are fully charged and I went into town this evening to top off with diesel before the impending snow storm of the century hits Oklahoma. So the truck was warmed up. I noticed a clicking noise under the...
Interesting....maybe it’s normal then. However, I just got back from a quick trip into town. I ran the blower/heater on high, lights on, and had the windshield wipers on full blast. The alt gauge stayed in the yellow on my way into town and the wait light came on and stayed off for the...
