I've got it down on the driverside. Took it all the way back down to the lift point: Here's the hardware I got off: 1. Alternator bolts 2. Alternator bracket with 2 bolts that go into the bracket between the lift point and the alternator. 3. Power steering pump bracket hardware...

Been a busy couple of weeks: Removed the front driveshaft to check the ujoints, the front one is shot but the back two are smooth. Bonked the front one out. Redid the clamps on the diesel return lines on the injectors. Replaced the fuel filter. Set the alternator brackets back on the motor...

I threw a belt on and held it tight with my hand, it didn't look horrible but the power steering pump looks pretty off compared to the rest of the pulleys, and there's something up with the driver alternator top bracket because I can't adjust the alternator whatsoever. Nothing's tightened down...

Pretty sure I just saw one for sale on hillbillywizard website. Under K30 parts you can find it. https://www.hillbillywizard.com/cucv-parts/cucv-fuel-cap-rare/ $59.99 as of 3/2/23

Found the thread talking about adjusting the vacuum regulator based on 20 at the pump and 8 to the transmission. That will be adjustments made when the motor runs. We ran into a bit of a snag with the new power steering pump and driver alternator mounted - the pulleys arent lining up quite...

Spent a lot of time over the past weekend and another 5 hours yesterday at the shop. Got the intake mounted with a new gasket and hardware. Getting those injector line clips in the right spot was awful, we ended up having to back the injector lines off. As she sits now, we just need the vacuum...

Been too long since I updated, Juniors back home locally for good. No more leaving for weeks at a time and coming back for a couple of days, thankfullyI put together my battery cables and Tom helped me get the starter back on with the new bolts I had bought at the very beginning of all this...

10-4. I need to switch the connectors around, I can insulate them when I do. Thanks for the heads up

In short... I know what I've got disappoints you guys in terms of being true to the original. I got the truck in this shape it was in: half the dash lights don't work, the glow plugs on a button, the engine wiring hacked to pieced to set it at 12V. LEDs, CB radio, power seats, an AM/FM radio -...

I'm replacing the 12V starter he had put in with a 24V starter, figured the dog head relay mod might save me considering he already chopped and moved the original starter relay, I figured it might give me a decent shot at keeping the 24V starter alive for a time. The fuel pump was electric when...

So... fuse box question. Top left corner in the photo, that's where he has the 12V fuel pump power drawing from (brownish/black wire). Two slots below it (the red wire next to the 40 amp orange fuse) he has the radio/CB plugged in to draw 12V power. If I hook things up 24V will these fuse slots...

Back at it today. Nobody ever seems to need me till I make plans to do something I wanna do... Since I'm working on hooking things back up 24V I thought it may be prudent to check where the guy had the after market radio, fuel pump, and CB radio hooked up to. The CB looks like it goes to the...

Little update for y'all... 1) I picked up all my wiring from West Marine - had a store right in town, super nice guys there. Got some thick cables to make battery cables and run 24V to the starter. Been waiting on battery terminal lugs to come in before I started cutting cable. 2) I got a...

I'm assuming this is to prevent the 24V bus power from contacting the solenoid signal wire from the starter relay? Honestly, the cable is completely out and it's gone. Was melted beyond belief. I'm replacing it with correct spec marine wiring, and adding the lugs myself. So it's the perfect...

Just what I needed, thanks @cucvrus

Thanks @Keith_J - I might keep it there temporarily while I doghead relay mod it, just to make troubleshooting easier. If it works, I'll move it back behind the dash. This might be a really dumb question, but does anybody know offhand what the stud sizes for the bus bars are? And the engine...

Is the starter relay in the stock spot? Seems too easy to do that doghead relay mod... thought I was gonna have to dig through wire hell to find it

Okay so here's what I found looking for the starter relay. Is this stock? This is sitting on the front of the lower dash about 2ft from where your right knee would be. I also took a picture of what's behind the dash...

Thanks Keith. I thought the doghead mod would be crazy complicated, but I looked up the thread and understand a lot more about the ignition and starting circuits. Warthog did an awesome job walking through the circuits. Going by the garage soon to check the status of the starter relay and...

Delays, delays, delays. Got to love hurricanes and problems at work. I'm going back to the garage today to take some wiring measurements, I've got a list of what I need, just not how long I need. These are the wires I took out when I was taking the old harness out. I'm going to sort out...
