So quick question in regards to this same issue. Haven't driven the truck much other than in and out of the garage as I've been working on it (lift kit install, plow install, etc). I was also waiting on the paperwork so I can title it. Anyway, noticed the wait light was coming on...

Definitely agree. I've never afraid to say, "I am stumped, please help!". Which I think I did on here with this, and you all chipped in and schooled me properly. Can't say thanks enough.

Like I said earlier, I've always had a soft spot for the Blazers, love the 73 to 87 vintage Chevs, and have had many over the years that were either babied and beat. This just is another to add to the collection. I'll admit though, this is my first ever truck without spark plugs, so I was...

Oh **** Ya! She's alive! After Warthog tossed up that last schematic, I started digging under the dash and found two blown fuses. Threw a couple new ones in, hooked the battery cables back up, and everything lit up on the dash. Figured what the heck, once the "wait" light went out, turned...

The card is there. Now that I have the wiring schematic for this, I'll do some checking to see if that fuse to the light is burnt out or the bulb. Also I can bypass as you said to at least test to see if the module is bad.

Ok, so no card, no gp, no start. Guess verification that the GP card is there or not is my first step. Thanks.

Well, that would probably be safe to assume! Like you said, she was robbed of all the other things GP related. I'll look tonight. Right now I just want to see if she'll fire, and with the temps at where they are now, I'd assume she'd start even without the glow plug preheat cycle as long as...

So is the wait light supposed to come on every time you turn the key to try starting? I have yet to see it come on. I do notice a warm smell if I turn the key on, but it's very faint. Didn't know if that was from the glow plugs or?? Nothing I've found is hot to the touch, though. Maybe I'll...

So good news....got the last of the electrical hooked up tonight. Threw juice at it and things appeared to act like they should. Dash lit up as you see in pict below. Only thing that didn't light up was the "Wait" light, but am wondering that the mid 70's here right now kept it off. Is that...

What is the recommended size? I see one thread mentioned 30.... They clipped both wires to the starter to ease removal, so I dindn't have as much to work with. There is enought to go to the end connection on the bus bar, though. The guy that did the testing on the starter just bench tested...

Thanks. So one more question in general on the 24 volt system. THe cab is 12 volt then from the fusible link, but are the headlights and running lights coming off 24? The reason I ask is because this will be my hunting and plow truck once it's on the road and I have to transfer that over to...

Thanks, I was going to continue the GPR one, but since others were giving me other things to check in regards to the mechanical side, I went with a more general one. But thanks for merging, as I'm still getting the info I need.

Sorry for overlooking that. So I'll bring the power from that clipped wire on the 2nd battteries negative terminal to the left side of the fusible link as you showed. Then is it better to pull the power to the GPR from that post or run another directly from the possitive of the first battery...

Cool, thanks for the tip. Just did a quick search and it appears that the smaller red wire that is clipped on the second batteries negative terminal may be what was feeding the glow plug relay. If that's the case, I'll splice back in and run a new wire over to it.

Almost ready to fire the 1009 for the first time....couple last questions So tonight I finally got some time to really dig into this thing and take care of several of the little things I've found. First off, got the starter tested last Friday and it was just fine. Ordered up the bolts, got...

Yep, new bolts were the plan as that is what I was reading in the thread on here this morning. Thanks for the advice on the plate, will roll that around as well and check for any damage. The other things I noticed was that the speedo cable was unhooked and the eyelet was still on the starter...

Just a quick update. I hadn't posted any picts yet as I got a good schematic to go off of. I see what appears to be missing for battery cables, and all appear to be in the truck. Also got the starter tested and all is good there, so happy about that. Not sure why it was out. Ordered up the...

Thanks guys again for all the input. more pictures will be loaded up tonight. Sierra, thanks for the offer. Actually, I know a guy with a 1008 just donw the road from me. A stop at his place is on my list of things to do this weekend! This is going to be a fun project. Like I posted in my...

I don't believe it was converted. It came straight from Fort McCoy through the Gov't Liquidators auction. Both alternators are on, and I believe they were wired, but I'll double check tonight as it was just something I assumed they were. It didn't have the batteries in it or the starter...

Anyone have a part number for the resistor at the local parts store like there was for the GP on the attached link I found?
