http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?50568-CUCV-Throttle-Vacuum-Valve-Adjustment You can adjust the valve with the engine running but the TM has you adjust it with the engine off. The valve should hold a vacuum.

At least a Gazzillion dollars. ;-) Who knows the value. I would say at least $1000. Now if you had the jeep to go along with it..................

They are designing new cars that are 36v and 48v. The Hybrids are 300+v. What will we do then?

Why not just fix the problem? Or you can always convert to 12v only. Use the Rosscommon Equipment method.

Even then there may need to be updates/fixes to the law.

That will not work with the way GM wired the truck. Others have tried and failed. Grounding is the issue. The charging system is very simple once you understand it. It works very well for what it was designed to do.

Easiest place is at the GP relay on the firewall. Leave everything as is. Attach a wire to to the small terminal with the light blue wire. Run that wire into the cab, attach it to a momentary switch. A 10amp will work fine. Then attach the switch to ground. There is a 6 prong ground terminal...

Glowplug lesson for today. The 60gs are 10 volt plugs. The way the system is designed is that 24v (NATO requirement) is fed to the large resistor pack on the firewall and then to the GP relay. When the GP closes, the 24v is fed to the plugs. With the resistance at the resistor pack, the...

The 27SI is just the housing size. The Type 100 is just 100 amp. The GEN2 alternator has to be built as an isolated ground. If not some big fireworks will happen. Here is a kit that I have used many times. http://www.aspwholesale.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=5137

Do you have access to an infrared thermometer? I'm just wondering if the GPs are actually heating up. Watch the Glowplug Video in the GP Operatioal Theory sticky. It covers how the GP system should work. You said you replaced the GPs. What plugs did you use?

You need to check the voltage at the pink wire on the injector pump. Also you need to check to see if you can hear the fuel shutoff clicking when pink wire is reattached. Do NOT ever use ether on a diesel that has glow plugs. Bad and expensive thinks can happen.

Taking Barrrman's post furture, you may want to install a manual switch as a backup and when the engine is slightly warm. Very easy to do.

Without a voltage reading it is hard to tell. Most like is a bad voltage regulator on GEN2. They should be around 14.8v

By typing "Dot 5 Dot 3" in the Google search at the top of the page will bring you hundreds of threads that have covered the topic. Since you truck is a 1962 M55, more than likely it will be Dot3. Take a sample out, put it in a glass jar and mix the same amount of new Dot3 with it. Shake it up...

Read this thread. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?59917-How-to-post-pictures-a-tutorial The new instructions start later in the thread but the first part helps to understand the process

What would you like to know? Been there. Done that.

Have them. ;-) The LSSV manuals are still available on the GM website.

I don't know the answer, but I can tell you this. My step son has a 1978 K10 and it has the newer style lock nuts. One of his was screwed up and I picked one up at the local pull-a-part.

Welcome from OKC. The are a few members here in the metro area. We attempt to partake in the local parades and events. Then next event is the Del City Armed Forces parade in May. You are welcome to attend.
