    Dead short glow plugs

    ...the solenoid and it does not blow a fuse. As soon as I hook it up it blows the fuse. I looked through the wires and I cannot see any bare spots hitting anywhere. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I do have a hillbilly wizard glow plug card installed and it has worked fine for the past 2...

    M1028 help

    Solenoid tests open on ohms with key off... Was possible suspecting it was the card and I have a spare, but didn't just want to try it without some definitive troublesooting, I think I have a resistor too, but not sure at this point where it is at... Voltages correct b4 and after,with both key...

    M1028 help

    Probably the solenoid welded itself shut. Could be the control card if the output transistor failed short. The solenoid main lugs should have 24 volts measured at the top or resistor side with key on, engine off. The lug with three orange wires (2 large, one small) should be 0 volts except...

    M1028 help

    I have a M1028 that just started wanting to smoke the resistor on the firewall, that is for the glow plug system, need help with working through the problem, is it the glow plug card, the resistor, the solenoid relay, or the glow plugs...???

    Sorting out new M1028 Starter and vacuum hose questions.

    Have a few questions on getting this M1028 on the road again. Here's the quick back story. Picked it up 2 weeks from Sheriffs dept. w 33k miles on it. They owned it since 1996 when they got from military with 13k on it. Tires looked new but had a 2010 date code , so been sitting a while...

    Glow plug relay question

    Keith_J, Thank you for the replies. In most images/diagrams I've seen the greenish wire is adjacent to the 12V terminal and the pink/black is next to the glow plug terminal. I just don't want to hook it up incorrectly and burn up anything...including the new control card I purchased. Sent from...

    M1028 plug and air tank in bed.

    Wiring diagrams are function specific, glow plug controller card is found in the -34 TM appendix E-7. Thanks for making provenance clear. How many crayons did you find under the seat? Ammonia works well to clean the spittle from the windows ;)

    M1028 plug and air tank in bed.

    I got the truck direct from the USMC. They added the tank. The rectangle plug is for a glow plug controller? I've searched all tm's and can't find this plug on a wiring harness for dash.

    M1028 plug and air tank in bed.

    Looks like the holder for the glow plug card. The air tank is something the prior owner added.

    Interesting. So turn key to on position, it will fire the glow plugs and light on the dash as pre glow until temperature good enough to start. Start and it will cycle after glow until the motor temps rise and idle smooths out. And the original system makes it easy to detect when GP are going...

    Dark Seas M1008 Project

    Welp, I just got a new GP temperature sensor because I accidentally broke the old one, and I got a new GP wiring harness from HW that came in today because there were all these bare wires going up into the dash and I was tired of looking at them. Pretty sure there's still a GP card in the truck...

    ...diagrams (corrected) are available. Yes, the new card is expensive but all other parts are inexpensive. While a push button is dead simple, the only real benefit would be a plausible theft deterrent. I would recommend looking over the existing glow plug card and make a financial decision.

    Dark Seas M1008 Project

    ...be a really stupid question, but it's been bugging me since it crossed my mind. I am replacing the glow plug harness between the glow plug card and the glow plug relay/temperature sensor due to frayed wires. The way the truck sits, he has a manual glow plug button wired to push 12V directly...

    Yet Another M1010 Thread

    ...Odometer reads 10,500 (no idea if that's accurate), it appears to be relatively rust free. It has a manual glow plug button and the glow plug card has been bypassed. There is a manual cutoff switch on the dash to disconnect the batteries. Only apparent leak is on the fuel filler line. The...

    Rats nest wiring, setting 12V back to 24V

    Yessir glow plugs and everything work fine. I think the harness is original, only thing he added was some aftermarket LED blocks on the front grille guard for better night visibility. I could get it to crank and start until last weekend, seems like the starter he put in died. Took the...

    Rats nest wiring, setting 12V back to 24V

    ...of this forum...it has all the info you need to go over all the wiring plus there's one just on the alternators to get them to work right as well...this stuff is pretty straight forward to get going...it doesn't look like the harness has been chopped up...does the glow plug card still work ?
