Need to test run a 6.2

[Shook]

Hi
I need to test run a 6.2 in my project truck. I have no harness and no accessories right now, just want to be sure the engine runs. I have my batteries hooked to the starter. I will jump it at the solenoid on the starter to crank it. I will need to run a power source to the glowplugs to light them up for 10 seconds or so.
How about the injector pump. Aren't there 2 connections on it that need constant power to run? Anything else?

Brian, you will need juice at the injection pump. Is this a CUCV or HMMWV engine? HMMWVs need 24V at the injection pump. Are supplying fuel via the mechanical lift pump or an electric?

The only connection on the injection pump that is needed is the 'run' wire. On the CUCV engine, its where the heavy pink wire connects. Supply 12v's to run, and disconnect to shut off.

its where the heavy pink wire connects

Unless its a HMMWV motor!

Hence why I said "on the CUCV"

Duh! I'm such a dumba$$

Thanks Kenny and Mike. Actually the 6.2 is out of a civy G30 van so the injector pump is 12volt. I know which wire you are referring to. I had to test this wire on my CUCV one time.
We'll lets go tear something up.

Hey whats the good glowplugs? AC 11G I had a extra set but cannot find them in all my junk. Looks like I'll have to buy a set. I'll probably find them when I'm hunting something else, isn't that the way it goes.

thery are great.
and the people that run the place actually know about the product, this guy has been a pioneer in the 6.5l performance world.

I've bought some stuff from Walt at SS. No problems at all.

No worries with SS. When they say the military uses the same glowplugs, believe them. I was going to replace the GP's with a set of their 24v self limiting plugs in the cucv I had just gotten from GL, and after pulling a couple out of the truck, found that they had already been replaced with the self limiting type.... same brand as the SSdiesel.

I'm going to try them. I bought a set this morning.

Thanks,

I found a few good used 11G AC glow plugs here. I am using a M1009 glowplug harness. I noticed that the 11G glowplug flat prongs are a little wide for the original M1009 connectors. Guess I'll have to cut these off the harness and put some wider ones on. Is this the norm?

 

[mangus580]

yes, the other option would be, to grind the tabs on the glow plugs down a little bit.

 

[Shook]

I had thought about that but knowing my luck I'd mess a plug up. Hmmm maybe a good pair of metal snips could cut a little off. We'll see.

Thanks,
Brian

SS has GP terminal adapters I believe, cheap too.
