its kool... by the way, what plow set up you have, and hows it work for you? im looking for a plow asap. im thinking a 85 blazer set up, old beat up stuff out there tho.
from what i gather, if the system works as its designed, the resistor can fail, then the gp's will get 24v and roast-....at any time. then broken little chunks of gp in the combustion chambers. if im wrong someone please correct me, im liking to be in control with the "button".
yep, a magnet, thats what i was thinking. im greatfull i havent had this problem, an old friend of mine who has a trucking co and a 15 truck fleet never has replaced a glowplug on any truck. he plugs them all in- block heaters. im thinking non of the gp on those trucks has ever worked. go figure.
exactly. on my 1028 its plain to see the 24v going into the resistor, then to the solenoid- before i disconnected from that source and went to the 12v bus on the firewall. the resistor was not stepping down the volts. its a done deal now, works like downtown now!:)
just replaced the fried 0070 gp's(new) with new AC60G's, and new clips, connected the solenoid to correct 12 bus. seems to work fine now. oh, do have a gp button on the dash already, mabey the installer thought the resistor worked to auto-reduce the 24 to 12v. NOT. my gp's can now only get 12v...
