I would have to say the easiest way to operate and monitor the glow plugs, relay,and gp card is to correctly install a push button switch. I installed mine after my card wouldn't send the needed ground to the relay. I bought the napa relay and dr diesel glow plugs from eBay. I control the on/off...
On a side note don't get crazy and take apart the vent side window while your in there! I recently bought all new seals and rubber trim for the windows and found out that the vent window is a sealed unit. They will sell you a seal but its seems that the windows is fixed to the frame of the...
I left the resister in place and am running a gound side control "Push Button" switch for the glow plugs attached to the glow plug card, I start it on cold starts with 3 sets of 5 sec on 3 sec off, and the truck pops each time. Another good upgrade that no one seems to tralk about is tghe High...
I have a fresh rebuild on my 1009 with the banks sidewinder, 3" to 3.5" side exhaust stack, 3" round cold air filter, turned up IP pump, slightly advance timing on the pump as well. I also run the LA jungle path and usually run at 70-74.9 mph I have been getting 19.6 mpg as well
the coolant sensor on the driver side will not make it NOT start. I currently have mine unplugged as my dash coolant light flickers on at times with normal engine temps. So for now i have just unplugged it and starts like a champ.
Have you checked the timing for the IP pump? there is a mark...
The Alternator is offset by a few degrees resulting in a future belt issue.
the upper and lower brackets for the alt are bolted to the head and the brace is bolted to the intake with no noticalbe gap to adjust the alt. The alt is off about a 1/2" towards the firewall causing the "v" belt to...
The 6.5 won't work or the Humvee header either. You'll see it for sale for the 6.2 but I have installed 2 banks systems and the problem is the gap is so close between the frame and the bolts with studs on them that they won't clear unless preinstalled into the manifolds. I used dumdum tack to...
I just rebuilt the engine and put on a NEW banks system. I fired it up the other day with just the down pipe. 3 feet of pipe straight off the turbo. After 2, 10 min breakins I had a little line of oil in the exhaust tube that I could feel just enough to coat your finger.
So banks...
It looks like it was the GP card, CUCV Electrical gave me a tip to gound the card at the blue and light blue for the relay and the wait light, both work, so time to swap out the Card. I bought a new unit from CUCV E. Truck started as a result once I ground the light blue for a few sec. Its a...
cluster
curious I have a few gauges that were not original to the car/cluster. Can I pop them into a port and rewire them independant of the harness on the cluster, Voltage, oil psi, coolant temp etc. I have gen 1 and 2, seat belt, wait, and a low coolant. Just curious I have a spare cluster...
I just fired up my rebuilt m1009 after many questions posted on this site and some help from cucv electrical! I had a 24v short to ground from the passenger alt. This equaled alot of smoke, burnt fuses, spot welded connections.
Next issue was no glow plugs, replaced relay with a napa st85...
