Ok, thank you ccatlett I will look at that right now. Johnfire, thank you also. I hope to put pictures up soon.

OK i did the 12v. swap. But now I get an arc at neg. when reapplying the ground,and the engine trys to turn over. i pull the starting relay, reapply the ground/neg to the battery, still get a spark.. Any suggestions would help.

Ok. Thanks again John for your trip down for the resistor block. And very nice meeting with you and chatting. On to my next prob. My wait light does not come on. I think it might be the actual glow plug controller. I think I have made the decision to go 12 volt. Is there a heavy duty starter...

yes i was getting 24volts there.

ok.i think they gave me the wrong thing. They gave me a starter solenoid instead of a glow plug relay, i now am getting the glow plug relay. But i think it already messed my resistor up. because im getting 24 volts to the relay..... What should i do to find out if it bad.

Ok, I got it runing withthe help of all the members here. Now i let my truck Idle, and i had a bit of smoke comming off the resistor against the fire wall. Normal? or what could it be?

ok turn key nothing jump starter? and how?

oh by the way how hard is it to swap it to 12 volt? That might be the bettersolution.

thanks fellas, i will crawl all around this truck tomorrow. I am going to look through it all. I cant find a wiring schematic, but hope to find one soon.

Not anything now. What is the little device to the right of the glow bug relay on the fire wall right behind the motor?? that is where the clatter comes when i let the key in on position. everything dies out if I let it in the on position. but I'm still getting 24v combined on batteries.

this happen all before i put the relays on the floor, I put them on the floor to locate the clatter buzz noises.... I will relocate the relays, but I think I was told to unbolt them so if it ever sticks you can yank the relay out to avoid the Starter burning up. That is if I heard them...

ok, i have 12 on each, 24 combined....I turn the switch to let the wait light go, and while waiting it dims out. Thats bad ground? or is there a voltage regulator?

cranks a little now all i get is clatter

Ok, if this doesnt work, i will look through the whole forum and manuals. My truck wont start. Now, i hear the relay. But if I let the glow plugs warm up, after about 30sec.+ i get a wierd buzz behind dash. other then the relays cause i have them laying on floor to look at. I have no clue...
