Ok I finally got it. Once I continued to jack on the oil pan after it was picking up the entire front end the engine came loose. After that the mounts literally slid out.
After rereading the tech manual it states:
If only removing engine mount (21) or engine mount brackets (17), and
no other engine components have been removed, engine should only
be raised until there is enough clearance to remove bolts (22). Raising
engine too far may result in damage to...
Thanks for the reply. I checked this out earlier but still do not see how the engine is not free. I removed bolt #16 in the tech manual, and 3 bolts that hold the rubber mount to bracket 17 in the tech manual. These 3 bolts are not shown in the tech manual you referenced, but they are shown...
I am trying to change my motor mounts, but I am having no luck removing them. I took the 3 bolts that hold the mount to the engine bracket. I also took the bolt out that runs through the engine bracket and the mount. I removed these 4 bolts on both sides of the engine. I placed a jack with a...
I have already done the resistor bypass. I ran a cable from the front battery positive directly to the glow plug relay. I am also using AC Delco AC60G glow plugs with a new ST85 glow plug relay.
Oh the starter and motor cranks forever. It is definitely turning over quite well. If I put in new glow plugs it will fire instantly. However, every time I start the truck it gets harder and harder to start until the glow plugs are fried. In one of my previous posts I posted an update on...
I only have voltage on the top post once the truck is running. I checked for about five minutes continuously after the truck was running to make sure the relay was not passing power.
Thought I fixed my glow plug issue, but I was mistaken. I have ran a 2 gauge wire from the front battery positive directly to the glow plug relay. I put in 8 new AC60G glow plugs and the truck fired instantly. However, everyday that goes by the truck gets harder and harder to start. Bought...
Thanks for all of the information. It sounds like there is a good chance I ruined my brand new glow plugs. I will have to wait until tomorrow to check it out again.
Ok did some more testing and looking. On the relay the top large post has a large red wire coming from the resistor as you mentioned. This post has 25V. The top small side post has a blue wire that has 0V when sitting and 12V with the key in the run position. The bottom small side post has a...
