Welcome from Centre County. Looks like a fun project. Karl

Welcome from Centre County. And yes we want to see some pictures of your collection. Karl

It's always fun to have your Deuce in a car show. The trucks really stand out and lots of people notice them. And to walk away with 2nd place. Karl

tstone is correct. Without getting in to the electrical design of the GP controller. Here is a simple answer: The wait light comes on for a shorter duration that the GP heat time. This is the way the GP card is designed to function. I am assuming that the designers of the engine wanted the...

To clarify your description of your situation. "but now the relay closes as I turn the key on, the wait light comes on for a few secs, goes off, but the relay doesn't close." Do you mean it "doesn't open" after the wait light goes out? If so, check a couple of things. Low batteries will cause...

I finally had time to paint the S280 today. It was a beautiful day here in PA. The brown and black will have to wait until I can find the proper camo pattern for the shelter. And yes, it is the Behr brand from Home Depot. Thanks WSU for providing the color formula. Here are the before and...

As I tell my employees.... " It takes more time to get to the hospital than it does to find proper eye protection." or "Safety glasses are less expensive than the ER co-pay" Karl

Hi Steve, Welcome to Steel Soldiers. It sounds as if you have a few defective glow plugs. Check each GP with an ohm meter. Disconnect the wire on the GP and check the resistance from the connector on the GP to ground. They should be in the 1-2 ohm range. Let us know what you find. Karl

A few pictures of the 2011 Show. Karl

Despite the rain, it's still great fun to meet and chat with everyone there. I will be back again tomorrow. Karl

The connector in the engine compartment at the fuse panel near your left foot. I found two slightly burned connections there. Karl

My M1009 was doing the exact same thing. Wait light comes on, turn the key to start and sometimes the relay would just click and sometimes nothing at all. Even had the squeal sound too! Not having a volt meter with me when it happened, I finally found out that when I wiggled the wiring harness...

The cards that I have will do the exact same functions as the factory cards along with a few extra features. I added a user selectable Steady or Flashing WAIT light feature. Along with 3 LED's that aid in troubleshooting. Red LED-indicates that the GP relay should be closed. Amber/Yellow...

Are the inverters shutting down due to over voltage?

I made some measurements on my M1009. The GP relay coil had a resistance of 14.9 ohms. With 2 glow plugs connected, the current draw was about 24 amps. With 4 glow plugs connected, the current draw was about 50 amps. Full scale on the meter is 50 amps. The engine was cold and was not started...

I got mine from the local NAPA store. Seems to me it was around $400. Fit well and I changed it out in about 2 hours. Replaced the hoses and thermostat at the same time. Karl

Very nice info. Thanks! Karl

Sounds really good. I better double up on my Crestor before eating a breakfast like that. Karl
