Go buy a P4400 kill-a-watt and plug it in somewhere you can see it. It will display frequency. $20 to $25 with shipping.

So did you download the TMs and follow the troubleshooting procedures? What results did you get? Inquiring minds want to know.

Perhaps it was the mixture of oils you were/are using rather than straight diesel fuel? What kind of exhaust temps were you getting with your custom blend?

A little bracing at the bed rail and extending the new bracket down to the floor mounting points of the original jerry can support should be sturdy enough to keep your new cans in place.

My understanding is that based on the input from the temp sensor the glow plug controller only activates the glow plugs when needed, not every time the truck is started.

Assuming stock wiring; bad resistor, bad fuse link, bad relay, bad temperature sensor, bad control card, bad fuse in the fuse block, bad fuse wires to the glow plugs. Did you download the TM and follow the troubleshooting? It lists all of those things and more plus it tells you how to test...

Let us know how they work and how they hold up.

Did you just replace the relay or follow the troubleshooting procedure? Are you getting voltage at the glow plugs? What glow plugs were in there to begin with? The stock wellman 070 plugs have a 3/16" spade and the AC 60G plugs have a 1/4" spade. Did you grind your spades down to fit stock...

You called it.

The glow plug model is irrelevant. If you are using the stock system (24V through the resistor) and one glow plug goes bad the voltage dropped across the remaining glow plugs will increase. Ohms law and a series/parallel circuit. Increased voltage on the remaining glow plugs causes a cascade...

When you tune the MX67 for CB. You do it by tuning the impedance matching network not trimming the antenna. It can be done. You can get the SWR fairly low as well (under 1.5:1 as I recall). Not to say that it is a great performing antenna but it will let you look military and still...

I was afraid of that based on the time of your posting but I was out all day yesterday and did not get on SS until this morning.

Does this help?

porkysplace Thank warthog. All I am doing is reposting his pictures after his original thread where he took the time to disassemble the truck, take the pictures, label the pictures and post the pictures seemed to disappear. At most I am but a humble student dutifully regurgitating the notes...

Like cucv1833 said. You could hook a temporary wire to the pink wire and use that to run light to see if it is loosing power but based on what you said the entire truck is loosing electrical power so I think that answers your question. Another option would be to run a fused wire from the 12V...

My money is on doghead but I am wondering if a motor mount would exhibit the same symptoms.

Nice truck. If you do not want that mounting plate on your dash what ever you do, do not throw it away. There are a number of members on here looking for those things. Give it away or sell it but please don't trash it.

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. I love nothing more than grease monkeys (or thieves) pretending to be mechanics. As we have been told over and over again all blue collar labor is unskilled labor and can be done by anyone at anytime and doesn't deserve anymore than six or seven bucks an...
