    Bosch 80034 (Duratherm ?) Resistance in Ohms

    12 volt starter turns the motor over at the same speed as my 24 volt starter. Yes, if you pull from the front battery for gp power, it is a good idea to swap batteries front to rear occasionally for longest battery life. My other reason for full conversion; 3. Both batteries are equalized...

    Bosch 80034 (Duratherm ?) Resistance in Ohms

    You can bypass the resistor for glow plug power but leave the rest as is too. I actually went all the way because; 1. The positive terminals of my batteries (actually front positive rear battery negative) were hitting my hood on articulation. This was because of the battery relocation the p.o...

    Bosch 80034 (Duratherm ?) Resistance in Ohms

    Don't tell Rus.. Mine doesnt have a resistor. I converted to 12 volt. As for my glow times, the truck sits at 9,000 ft in the snow. I think the temperatures are warmer where i measure(at my camper) than at the lot 3 miles away. My longer glow is probably due to the stupid cold and long days...

    Bosch 80034 (Duratherm ?) Resistance in Ohms

    I think so too. That is why i bought the other glow plug card. But my wait times are identical. It bothers me but i can't find anything wrong. Maybe I'll swap my spare gp solenoid in just for the heck of it but i believe that would either work or not.

    Bosch 80034 (Duratherm ?) Resistance in Ohms

    You mean the after glow cycling. I get that too. On particularly cold mornings i get 3 cycles of afterglow with the aftermarket card and a couple of longer afterglow cycles with the stock card. I do find it strange that my wait light goes out before the actual initial glow cycle stops. But it...

    Bosch 80034 (Duratherm ?) Resistance in Ohms

    I am glad you got her fixed up. With either my after market glow plug card or my new production stock card, my gp system does the following; At about 0 degrees. No block heat. Key on, wait light and solenoid for 30 seconds. Then the wait light goes out but the solenoid stays on for another 10...

    Bosch 80034 (Duratherm ?) Resistance in Ohms

    Two of my bad 60g's swelled up enough to need channel lock plier extraction. Ditch that resistor. Just make a wire with ring connectors; 8 inches in length. Connect from gp sol to 12v terminal. Disconnect the resistor bank at the 24v bus. Done. Don't wait. Mine was already converted but i...

    Bosch 80034 (Duratherm ?) Resistance in Ohms

    My spare set of AC60G's measure .8 to .9 ohms each. Your duratherms should be in that range as well since the whole system is built to supply about 12 amps per glow plug. 12 volts/1 ohm= 12 amps 12 amps x 8 plugs =96 amps. So you whole gp system can pull about 100 amps during glow operation...
