Sounds good cucvrus, thank you so much again man. Yeah I hold onto neighbors packages and knock on their door when I see them home or turn them into the main office to notify the correct recipient all the time. Don't know why that's not common sense. Especially for a package... like, come on...
So I walked down the other side of my building and knocked on their door, this really ghetto looking dude came to the door and I asked him about it and at first he looked at me like I was nuts, but when I explained I was supposed to receive a few bolts for a truck project I'm working on, that's...
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...
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...
This might 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...
The guy I got it from had tags on it from 2017 and put temporary tags on it when he wanted to go hunting. Was wondering if anybody had experience registering and insuring CUCVs recently. I'm in Brunswick Co if that matters, I know our emissions and stuff are a lot more lenient here. Don't really...
Also found on TM 9-2320-289-34 (not 34P)
Page 313-319 of the pdf. Section 4-7 Front wiring harness replacement - seems to describe the process of getting to the headlights to replace wiring, might help also.
Edit: TM 9-2320-289-20 pdf page 297. Is this what you're talking about?
TM9-2320-289-34P
page 127 of the pdf - FIGURE 50. BLACKOUT HEADLAMP AND HEADLAMP ILLUMINATING COMPONENTS.
Attached the two pages, saw you were on mobile and it might help. Hope it helps.
Bit of an update:
Didn't expect to go up to the shop yesterday, didn't hear from my friends about meeting up to get back on it. Wasn't mad, the last of the parts I need are still in the mail coming by Fri/Sat.
Got a phonecall as I left work yesterday, it's an emergency - one of my friend's old...
They did it right in front of me when I first dropped them off. The DS was absolutely mint, looked a little rough but put out correctly. The PS alt only put out 40 amps when tested, so he dove into it to figure out why. I didn't ask what they ended up changing out since I got there pretty close...
@Keith_J @ezgn Thank you guys, I'll be getting on it soon - big thanks to @cucvrus for being kind enough to send me some replacement studs I was missing. I've got a few injectors to get out and vacuum lines to put in while I wait. Then it will be valve covers, new injectors and glowplugs this...
Well this helps me a lot haha - I was only finding ones for $120+, cheers.
Edit: I got the $65 dollar one and noticed after I ordered that the same seller has the same part listed for $45 so if anybody else is ordering one double check for the $45 ones first!!
Done recently:
Old engine wiring out and sent to HW with old PS pump to trade for vacuum regulator valve I found broken and hopefully a glow plug harness.
Valve covers and air cleaner taken off and painted black.
Injectors and glowplugs out.
Drilled broken starter bolt out, all good.
Took off...
Hey Kevin,
Where did you happen to get your hood release cable? Mine is frayed pretty bad and I need to replace mine soon too (or I'm going to be in for a very bad time when it finally gives)
That would really help Keith, thank you. No rush - I won't be back in the shop until next weekend probably.
Edit: Keith, pictures would be greatly helpful but aren't necessary - DIVE DIVE figured out that the valve cover bolts are listed in TM 34P Figure 6 - I was looking in TM 20P. Looks like...
Good afternoon SS,
I think I'm messed up with valve cover bolts. Here's 2 pictures of what I've got - 6 studs, 10 short bolts. I had to find a few (3) replacement bolts around the shop that look like they could work.
That's really cool. We make sodium and potassium citrate as well where I work, just branches off the main citric line and gets a heavy dose of sodium/pot hydroxide prior to crystallization.
Heard of "industrial" and "cleaner" uses (apart from food grade going to Coca Cola, etc.) never thought...
