so my new plugs came in, and the plug extraction tool came in, (I am impressed with the jj and a racing glow plug tool, works like a champ) pulled all 8 open and swollen plugs. chased the threads and used a shop vac just to be sure, however i doubt it was needed, I could not see or feel any...

ya that is a good idea to check other wise you will be like me and trying to get 8 angry puffed up plugs out... on another note I ordered the jj and a tool just a few min ago.

well then i will order those.and use the ac13g's for my spares in my spare box for mexico. but will be pulling for the relay from the front battery to ensure this dose not happen again... this sucks. also i think i'll be ordering a glow plug puller and keeping it in my mexico tool bag too just...

i ordered ac-13g's should i just run them tell i get something else? thats what i pulled out and theh seemed to work fine. i hear they are not good though?

oh... i thought it bleed off voltge for the whole truck. i thought they ran most everthing through the resistors. thats why when the brake lights come on or turn signals are on the dash lights darken a little... guess i need to get the wire diagrams and really check them out. it seemed to me...

if i remember right the humv's run a true 24v system and the studded plugs are for them i may be wrong but its been a while. on a side note my mercedes plugs use studs on the end also not spade terminals...

if the resistor was shorted wouldent it cause other problems with the interior lights and functions? I saw a video on youtune about a glow plug puller from a company jj and a racing. called left a message.no answer back yet. im thinking about just running the relay off the front battery. anyones...

I to am having glow plug issues now. My cucv would not start. ohmed out the plugs and found most were open. so went down and they cross reffed it to a autolite 1110. I had a buddy turn the key while i measured the voltage with the wire off of the plug and got 24vdc. no drop but read that it will...

my cucv starts hard the time in the morning, its still been in the 70's and 80's in the morning, and have to crank it over a little in the afternoon after work. but if the engine is warm it fires right up no prob. this just started a few days ago. when it fires in the morning there is a...

thanks for this thread. it really helped me.. Im having starting issues as well but think I can figure it out and thanks for the bracket part numbers.

Tcucv, to answer your previous post, all you have to do to fit 35's on is get the orw zero rate leaf, and move the front axle forward, I'm my opinion the axle is too close to the firewall on these style trucks any way,( something any one can see turn your tires and get out and look, they are...

the front stock shocks were the limiting factor for flex, they were working as limiting straps, have my new shocks on and the only place it rubbed with this set up was the fender well bulge on the front of the fender well of the drivers side. it worked well, and ya I trimmed the fenders but not...

hey I saw a maroon CUCV 1009 in Pico Rivera CA the other day when I was there for work, nice clean unit. seen pictures of it here, but dont know who's it is? and cant remember where I saw the pics.

i had this same prob when I first got my cucv, turned out that one of the contacts in side of the bulb mount was corroded, and cracked. I replaced the bulb socket that I bought from autozone for a couple bucks, and now everything works great.

couple new pics for update, got the new tires on and wheels, now running 39x13.50x17r BF-Goodrich Baja KR tires on 17 Inch caddy esclaide wheels. still need a new rear window, crank and gaskets though.

here is my cucv updated, got the caddy wheels and 39x13.50x17r BF-Goodrich Baja KR's mounted from our trophy truck, had to trim the rear fender a little on the back of the rear opening to clear, but not too much. and have only a 1 inch lift front, with the axle moved forward 1.5 inches, just...

Bigger Tires, Lift Kit, and Gas Mileage. Three words that just don't mix.......... Hate to be bubble buster.......:razz: dont know about that quote..... bigger tires, lift kits and millage go hand in hand if its diesel.. had a f250 crew cab 4x4 short bed that got 25+mpg unloaded on the freeway...

i get 19 in city and 20 to 21 on the freeway with 35's, and 17 in city and 23 on the freeway with 37's on, but you have to stay in the sweat spot, all diesels have a spot in the power band where it likes to be and that spot differs from truck to truck even with the same engine. worst I have...
