Still haven't gotten mine to start. Here's a question- whats the approx speed of a good starter? Is it similar to the gas version of the civvy chevy? Mine seems to be going about half as fast as that. J

dual 12v. both batteries are in parallel. I've already disconnected the alternator wires. My question was more about the smaller wires in the picture at the top of the thread. J

3.08s? what does that refer to? J

Thanks so much. So I'm going to verify which wire went to the ground stud, disconnect it, and leave the other one that went to components. J

My branch made me send them a picture of the vin plate cause they didn't believe the vin wasn't in their database. But they did write it up eventually for the price of a normal blazer. J

its complicated to the ignorant. And until i learn, thats what i am. J

thanks? Maybe I should take a break from asking stupid questions (that no one can answer). I think I made mangus overheat a little. J

lol I love the earnestness. I'm doing what the originator of this thread has did. That is, convert from 24V to 12V. I'm doing it because I thought it'd be easier to diagnose/fix problems that way, being that it would be closer to the civvy version. The REC instructions are pretty vague on...

Cool site. Didn't see a forum though. Still hopin' someone here might know... J

I'm not sure what that is. Link? J

does anyone know what these two wires do? (the red one and the orange one) I'm having the same issue as this guy, and I'll probably just do what he did. I was just curious about the wires' purpose. J

Ha, you had me really confused there for a sec. Not sure what the electric shut down is, but I hope its not stuck :!: J

Is there any way to keep the batteries warm? And what kind of starting fluid do yall use?

pull cable? stop cable? what are these cables? J

Thanks guys. If I confirm that these are bad, which plugs should I get to replace them? I've converted to 12V. J ps, 4 measured infinite resistance (basically) and 4 measured close to 0. I'll have to get a more precise multimeter to find out how close to 0 it is. I just have an old analog...

Ok, so in my quest to start this beast in my garage, I've pulled the glow plugs to make sure they weren't broken and rattling around in the cylinders. I tried to check the resistance with an ohm-meter, but I never could get it lower than kilo-ohms. (shorting the probes gave 0 ohms, so the...

Got the air out of the fuel- thanks bryab123. Still didn't start, though. The batteries were a little sluggish, so i'll charge those up and try again tomorrow. J

I'm not saying its not the pump, but wouldn't you expect a shop to say that its the most expensive possibility? I hope its not, for your sake. do you get any smoke when it does this? J

I've heard its only beneficial on a turbo. fwiw. J

I work at Robins AFB. PM me if you need anything. J
