The shift pattern is different on the 205 and 208. . 205 has shift indicator on shifter knob and 208 has shift indicator at base near floor.

thanks will do.

Thanks for you replys. The reason I asked, I saw a picture where someone used a piece of wire with a fuseable link (from the resistor). Is there any advantage to use that, other than you have it? When I did the bypass on my other truck, I used the positive cable from the removed slave.

Thanks for the reply. I understand the advantage of the resister bypass. I was asking if there is an advantage to do it one way or another. (ex. running from the front battery(+) to the glow plug relay vs. running a wire from the glow plug relay to the 12 volt bus? Is there an advantage to do...

Is there an advantage(or disadvantage) to doing the bypass one way or the other? I will be doing it soon on another truck. Thanks

done it on my new second truck.

Nice looking job, what did you use to cut the bed?

I'll take a shot at it, thanks

How about a section devoted to errors in the TM's. I know there are some errors that could cause problems if followed.

As far as your volt meter goes there is a resistor on the back, it looks like a rectangle between 2 of the posts, it is a 300 ohm resistor and they sometimes go bad. You can check it with a ohm meter, with the truck off, take your ohm meter( set it on the ohm range) and touch the two posts with...

Warthog, are you talking about my post?

These may help some. I got these off this site.

I went to radio shack and got (3) 100ohm resistors and wired them in line(series?). Others posts said you can get them at mouser.

You may want to check if the 300ohm resistor on the back is working. My voltmeter was not working when I got my truck. I changed the resistor and it now works. Good luck

I recently installed a manual glow plug switch as a backup to the glow plug card. I spliced into the light blue wire, took that to the switch and then grounded the other end of the switch. My switch didn't work at first, I had to reverse the wires on the manual switch and now it works.

Did the Doghead starter relay, bypassed the resistor and added a glow plug switch.

The glow plug wires burned out(on the passenger side). I plan on replacing the glow plugs and wires. I read somewhere that the glow plug wire is a fuseable link? Is this special wire or can I use any 18 gauge wire? If it is special wire does NAPA carry it? I also plan on installing a...

Does anyone have a TM in PFD format for these?

It's all relative!

You can download the tech manuals(go to the resources tab at top) and learn alot of info on the vehicle. Here is a portion: Basic information you will need to know about the trucks is contained in Table 1-1. Table 1-1. Tabulated Data DATA Make Weight: Curb Payload/ Passengers GVWR GAWR (front)...
