    starter wiring question. Solenoid function questions.

    If it worked, then it was probably wired correctly. That solenoid is really just an electromagnet. In a DC circuit, it will either "push" or "pull" the shaft in the middle of the coil. So, if it worked and engaged the starter to the flex plate, then it was wired correctly. I'd guess that...

    M-1009 with a fuel leak, air in fuel and some surging

    Pretty much where the typical 350 small block fuel pump is... so below the passenger side alternator in a real pain in the butt place to get to.

    Wiper Blade Upgrade?

    It is commonly done when people upgrade to a tilt steering column. Just make sure you get the intermittent wiper module on the column when you go the the pick and pull yard, otherwise they are expensive. I have not done this yet, but from reading threads here, it seem the wiper wiring connectors...

    Gen 2 light comes on at idle

    Just because the alternators were rebuilt doesn't mean they are working properly. You'll need to take voltage readings and see what they are really doing.

    Cucv steering column

    I believe there are many places that will rebuild your column or sell you a rebuilt one. I'd try a google search.

    M1009 glow plug problem. ..need help

    Replacing the GP relay shouldn't be related to the position of the ignition switch. Do the other lights, GEN, Oil, Seat Belt, etc, come on before the Wait light when turning the ignition switch? If they all come on at about the same position in the rotation of the ignition switch cylinder...

    Mystery wire

    Yes, there is, or was... the buzzer is above the fuse box as I recall. There should also be a "Fasten Seatbelt" light that comes on when you start the truck.

    Mystery wire

    Seat belt warning buzzer sensor wire for the drivers seat would be my guess.

    Hawkdawg, please read the fusible link sticky near the top of the CUCV forum... at the very least one or more are probably burned out.

    Tried to DIY caused problem. Assistance Please!

    The small hose coming off the bottom of the fuel filter base is probably the drain, and is not connected to anything. Most likely there are some burnt fusible links, so please read the sticky near the top of the CUCV forum about them. You should also check the fuses, and probably test them, as...

    Tried to DIY caused problem. Assistance Please!

    If the glow plug replacement was just disconnect each gp, take it out, put the new one in and reconnect it, with no other changes, then no, it should not have caused any problems. Without knowing how that particular truck was wired, all I can do is say how it should have been wired for the...
