Looks good!

Someone got a whole load of UN blue paint for a song.

No answer but I do agree that the tailgate with a crank down window was a stupid design.

I guess quotes only is not allowed.

Sounds like he filed a false report (lied) to the codes enforcement people about a window being replaced when no work was done. Then there is the idea of this 'good neighbor' having built a history of false reports .....

That picture of the jeep without the window clear is going to be priceless. Tell the kids insurance company that your truck saved them a lot of money by keeping the kid from killing someone. I would hate to think what we would be reading if you happened to walk out to get in the truck at the...

LOLrofl

Doghead you are right, these diagrams are not designed to show exactly how to do a 12V conversion but just to explain the most basic circuit for how the glow plug relay works. I see now how others could take the connections shown directly from the battery literally and try to wire things that...

The manuals with wiring diagrams were on the old site. The site owner is trying to move them to the new site. "@@@@@@@@@@@ Old site is down again. Sorry!! I hope to have the new TM section up soon. @@@@@@@@@"

So it was switching the entire glow plug load. A full set of functioning glow plugs (assuming 1.5 Ohms per plug) will draw approximately 80A at 12V. If that setup sent 24V to the glow plugs by bypassing the resistor then the current draw would be half that at 40A but the glow plugs would see...

Did you hear the relay pull in and drop out as you grounded and and ungrounded the blue wire? Perhaps it is the double pole that is throwing your wiring off? The only current that passes through the switch is that needed to energize the coil, it is not much. A simple 10A or 15A single pole...

Online auctions. You really should read all of GL's terms and conditions......

I would think you could pop the lock cylinder out as easily as you could hacksaw the chain off the steering wheel.

Sounds like your relay is bad. You should see 12V at both sides of the coil with the key on and then when you close the switch to ground the blue wire you should see 12V at the orange wires.

Nice trailer. Congratulations.

The glow plug relay in this system needs to have an isolated coil. The coil receives voltage when the key is on and the control (manual switch or controller) grounds the other side of the relay coil to complete the circuit and energize the coil.

Your switch should connect one of the small terminals on the relay to ground (chassis) the other small terminal has 12V when the key is on. One of the large terminals connects to the 12V source (negative of the back battery) and the other larger terminal connects to the glow plugs. You should...

Those were the same ones I bought for my first set. They all burned out on the second time starting. The system was working before I changed the original glow plugs. One of the original glow plugs was open and one had half the normal resistance reading but the others were fine. Since then my...

Not unless you plan on lots of 24V slave starting. There are several ways to do the 12V conversion. This is what I did: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/62408-story-my-cucv-12v-glow-plug-conversion.html#post750217

These are the glow plugs that failed during the second use. They can be purchased through a dealer on ebay or that same dealers web page.
