Cucvrus, I have read your restoration posts and marvel at the lengths you go in your restorations. You are thee CUCV expert! I definitely respect what you have to say. If I was restoring this truck I would make it original, including the resistor too. I bypassed the resistor, because I don't...

what I mean when I say bypass the resistor is bypass it with 12 volts not 24 volts, by only using 12 volts there is no "full whack" ever. This protects your glow plugs from burning out because the resistor will let your 12 volt GP's receive over 12 volts in many circumstances, and when one burns...

I have a tendency to look at electricity in a wire like water in a pipe where amps is the water and volts is the pressure. So it is hard for me to wrap my head around the thought of the solenoid turning off and on a few hundred times in the blink of an eye to flutter and buzz. Then complicate...

Yeah, I thought that before, and put in a new one a couple of years back. The problem, if I remember right was the temp sensor read hot so the glow plugs would not come on. Now they stay on too long. I'll read that trouble shooting section again, but it doesn't explain how the system works, like...

My sons M1009 has an issue of the glow plug solenoid not turning off when it should after startup. 1)First the truck would not start unless you gave the solenoid a whack. That told me it probably wasn't making good contact inside and we needed a new one. Got a cheap one off ebay and it didn't...
