m1008 converted to 12v. some questions

[84cucv1ton]

still trying to figure this truck out. 8 new glow plugs. relay is a push button. gp get about 10v. thats it and stay on for 2 seconds then off then back on it you hold it in. relay could be bad? i do hear it click but it goes off real fast.

second thing. the starter. cranks over really slow. i know the batteries are good. to think of it maybe i have a 24v starter in there. there was nothing on the cast to say 24v so i thought it must be a 12v. how would i check and see?

as always thanks for the help

Mike, do you have any idea how the glow plug system is wired ? It sounds like a pushbutton in conjunction with the glow plug card ? Is the resistor bank on the firewall eliminated ?

nothing on the firewall. no idea how it was done

I usually run a wire from the 12v connector - 2 studs side by side one little one 1/4" - to the GP solenoid. Then I remove the GP card from under the dash. I don't recall what wires
I cut and ground there are two of them. I can look on Monday eve. Anyway Ground one pole on your momentary switch. Then the other pole run the wire to the two at the GP card and it should work fine.
