Yeah, then my wife came home and kicked my butt some more!:deadhorse: It's her truck!

Ha ha, no... I actually was going to look for that to see if that was also something I did wrong. I never remember which way to connect and disconnect the slave cable. Step G, is where I really screwed up! It's all good, if we learn from it.

Agreed!

I did not take pics before or during the repair. I was very disgusted with myself. I did take a couple pictures of the blown out terminal, after though. I could clearly see the end of the cable, inside the terminal. Oddly, it is still covered in insulation, inside the lead terminal. This makes...

Today I used the M1008 to jump start a deuce that had totally dead batteries. I disconnected the deuce's alternator excite wire, to protect the regulator, knowing the trucks batteries probably would not take a charge. The Deuce fired right up, so I got out and pulled the slave cable out of the...

Did you refill it with magic smoke?

I like this really good search engine called Google. Craigslist is good too.

I spoke with CUCV Electric today and I mentioned this thread. He did say he has issues with Internet in his area. I'd expect a reply fairly soon.

The cold start glowplug is a 12v unit wired to only one battery. You probably have one drained battery. Use a volt meter and check all 4 batteries. Charge the dead battery. Standard block heaters for NHC-250 motors,replace one of the water jacket covers on the passenger side.

I will call John today and let him know about this thread.

Wouldn't you expect the sealed steel box to protect it's internals from an EMP?

I can't imagine driving a 900 series truck no ABS brakes after an apocalyptic nuclear war. You could skid right into all the zombies. Oh my.

It will be fine in the rain. Up here(North of Syracuse), were going to get less than an inch of rain. Don't get too hyped up. Wind(40-50mph) and power outages...

Where does the big red wire(on top of the relay) come from? What is the voltage at that terminal? Not sure without looking at the TM, what fuse # 17 is for. I'll look in a bit As for a "cascading effect of @#$", not unless someone booby-trapped your truck. Have you tried disconnecting...

That's how we did them before tools were available and when the dealer said to simply snap them off and run it to expel the tip.

If it was known to be all stock, that should work. But, if someone has replaced the relay with a "Ford" type stater relay, it will still power the glow plugs.

Have you tested the relay to determine if it functions properly(no point trying to use it if it's bad). Is the relay the correct relay(isolated ground). If it is the wrong relay, it would be on all the time(your current problem). Of course you can rewire to manually control your relay, but...
