Truck looks great! I have question as to which temp sensor you replaced? If I remember right the one the triggers the glow plugs is on the rear of the drivers head. They came out with a new style one with a 2 prong gm plug and sensor. The original one is a single wire. Did you install the new...

It's locked up in storage now for winter! Visibility with the top down is 100%...top up about 10%!! The hard top is nice to have on it for cold days since it's insulated less noise too. It has the flip up lights that are double bulb each. I don't drive it much and my son jokes it'll be a barn...

I think the company that I've seen is quadstar that makes or sells the spacer. 6.5 is about a quarter inch shorter on the snout, it opened up a easy fix so you can get a quality balancer not from China. I've seen a few online forums where they didn't use the spacer then needed a front cover once...

In my decades of dealership life I've seen a few come apart but never an old gm one. The ones that did were only 5 or 6 years old too. Korean cars. Even my 69 corvette still has the original one on it. So when I do replace one it's when a front main has leaked on it for some time and the rubber...

The big red wire yes and one of the wires on the regulator plug Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

Yes the sticky post with the test plug. You can take them into the store to get tested as well but they do hook up different than most stock gm with the isolated ground...but if you tell then that they should be able to figure it out. Testing on the truck tells you if the truck is ok and the...

So you got both gen lights working which great! Do that alternator test and see if they need rebuilt or it's a bad wire etc. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

True but he's using gas engines as an example that it's common to shim a 6.2...do you shim your starters? Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

Those are gas engines Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

Yeah it's probably coming from a bad body ground that back fed through the glow plug card. The ground at the passenger rear intake bolt to the cab is all it has unless you added some. The buzz could have been the gp relay. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

I don't think the glow plug wire will turn on anything since it only gets power when the glow plugs are on plus the wire itself is a fusible link...with that being said the glow plug wire could be burned if it was touching ground when you cold started. As far as the charging my guess is...

Guessing radio feedback from the alternators with a touch of a bad ground. Could need one of the interference filters on the power side. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

I use cooking oil for fuel...why not! Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

That's great news! Glad you got it back together...for butter or worse right! Whatever works.. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

Ok so you've found that the drivers side alternator charges the front battery and the passenger charges the rear battery. Makes sense now that the drivers alternator isn't working. If you add both battery numbers that's your total number. The system is made to output 24 volts but charge on 12...

Awesome...battery looks great...looks like the stock cables still. Big batteries too. So the voltage regulator is the 2 wire plug on top of the alternator. I should have already said to get a test plug that you can use that makes testing that easier. On my side of the country at advance auto its...

once you get the push rod out clean it then cover it with grease so when you pop it back in it will stay. You can get a new gasket for the fuel pump cover or use a quality sealer. As far as getting it back on I use a quarter inch drive swivel head with a short extension...it makes it extremely...

Ok so that is the drivers side alternator that's not working. If you go to the cucv section of this site there's a sticky post about testing the alternator on the truck. You will need a voltmeter to do those tests. One thing you can try though is check or change the bulb in the gen one socket...

This is great to hear!! I have a 17 year old son and has 2 1009s. Don't run to the mechanic yet!! Yes get a multimeter. Doesn't have to do much else but volts. Doesn't have to be crazy expensive. If Amazon is easier than a parts store do that. So as far as power goes it looks like your running...

Lol..I think you need a 2.5 degree angle shims under those springs!! Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk
