https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/meet-mr-rusty.140975/page-7 Check out my Meet Mr. Rusty thread. I encountered this on a few CUCV's where the glow plug wires were burnt and bad upstream from the glow plug connections. I made a few new glow plug harnesses and just installed them in their...

Brad could it be fuel related? And if you think it is the glow plugs I would recommend removing them all and bench testing them. I use Ac Delco 13 G glow plugs and replace glow plugs as they fail. Seldom do I just all out replace all 8 unless a customer or vehicle requires I do that. Good Luck...

A+ if that is what it takes. Do as you must. i am not doubting that works for you. I just scare easy on any RPM above idle when the engine is cold. I like the heavy knock knock rattle rattle rattle and the Vroom. It sounds the same in English as in German.

I must agree when you follow them instructions on a cold morning and the engine does start. You panic and release the pedal and it shuts off again. Then you start it all over again. i have been starting them with just an idle and once they start slowly accelerating. It makes me and the engine...

I disconnected my fast idle solenoid yesterday on the Mule. It wanted to idle fast all day. What tells it to stay on fast idle? I am thinking the 2 prong sensor on the right rear passengers side head. I never had one fail. I replaced them as a misdiagnosed glow plug issue years back. It is nice...

29 degree cold start test. The Mule. No block heater facing east. 20 seconds glow/wait light time. 3-4 seconds of cranking and fire in the holes. Bone stock 13 G AC Delcos All stock set up with everything. Glow plugs cycled 4 times in 1 minute and then the cycling was over. In gear and on the...

Tell us that when it is -10 and you don't have a block heater. I was referring to a general rule 12 months out of the year in all weather. The fact that they start is all I care about. I never have an issue. When it is real cold 10 - -15 I save the poor old diesel CUCV the pain and suffering and...

I only do about three second cranks of the starter. Question is, why on earth would it be worse with brand new glow plugs? I was reading over this thread again. If you only crank it over for 3 seconds and you started the glow plug process over 7 times in a row. That would really do a number on...

Do as you like. But I would replace the copper sealing washers on the bottom of the nozzles when you reinstall. That's just me. Do as you like. it is a few dollars for a set of 8 and you can have the extras around for the next nozzle you pull.

Don't get excited. It is not the end. Which 2 are stuck?

9 chances out of 10 someone just cut the wire because they read that was the BBD. bigger better deal. I only ever had one bank of the resistors fail in all my years of driving them. I bought every one of the resistors I could get my hands on thinking they were going to be a problem. Now I just...

Either way it is an easy fix if you choose to do so. Just remove the resistors with the 3 1/4" 3/8" headed hex bolts. and it the wire is missing replace it if you choose. it is 10 gauge wire. I used red and crimped new eye ends on each end. Hooked it all back up and it starts and runs as...

I think it has an intermittent glow plug relay. The rev of the engine was all the fuel that was being put into the cylinders while you were cranking it and it was not starting. Like a flooded gas engine. Check it out and get a picture of the engine. the ballast is a black rectangular box on the...

See if you are getting voltage thru the relay at the master cylinder. It should be the bottom side hot when the wait light is on. Of course the top side is always hot. Hot meaning positive current.

Do you have a test light and voltmeter?
