Firstly a big thanks to everyone that helped with some advice...
Managed to take the truck for its maiden voyage to the filling station and backThe smoke seems to be noticeably less once it warms up to operating temps... so holding thumbs on it going away over the next few days.
Sadly now the time comes for all the teething problems... and there seem to be quite a few minor ones(Hopefully!!!)
700r4 related: Not seem to be a "park" click on the box. Reverse is the further most option. Freshly rebuilt box.. so hopeing nothing too serious. Also won't shift into overdrive when in "Drive"? I know a few guys done the conversion... but maybe I just gotta hound the shop that did the rebuild!
12 volt conversion done... but now I've realised the truck is not charging. Completly dead battery after shutting it off. Voltmeter not registering... but that could have to do with the 24v to 12v conversion. Removed the ceramic bridge on the back with no luck. Only running 1 battery.. if that helps?
Truck won't start when hot... except if I manually ground the GP relay. I presume this is time to put in a manual GP switch. Maybe the temp switch has given up the ghost... and there's no chance I'll find one loacally!
Thanks guys once more for all the assistance! Grin on my face driving to the filling station was worth the past 8 months for sure!
