Well explained. Thank you Steve.

Guys, possibly the stupidest question ever... Where the transmission guide says "disconnect glow plug controller", do they mean at the engine side, the firewall side, or both (ie.: remove the PCB/EESS)? About to play with the tranny and jumper the J2 A-E

For 1200 clams, might get Webasto. It will warm engine, making glow plug replacement less urgent.

# 8 glowplug sheared off at the level of the head. 🙄 Tranny shifts into first and second and then stuck in second. Won’t hit third. Gonna listen to Steve and leave the broken plug alone. Gonna do the transmission light thing. Hoping it’s simple like a bad solenoid.

Had no happiness with glow plug #8. Looks like 17 year old rust belt engine glow plugs have grown roots. Cracked off at neck. Not looking forward to extraction. Might leave it if others come out. No joy in Mudville today. Others are now percolating in penetrating oil. Blow torch and slow...

Use blue Locktite! Some might even use red.

The underside of the bread board is probably destroyed. Look at the post above you, post number 85. That is your best course of action.

Did you try compressed air? In through glow plug hole and out through injector hole.

Thinking of swapping in a pair of 2.56 into my M1165. Already own them years now. Brand new old stock. Bought the pair for cheap. Time to use them.

Looking to swap alternators. Long story… Advanced question… What is the max power consumption on a vehicle with lights and flashers and a/c with fans on, perhaps with aftermarket radio and CB radio? Will a 24V 100 amp alternator cover the amperage?

Somehow Juan Prado swears he drives 70MPH in his three speed. One wonders if moonshine and zydeco music have affected his perceptions. Something about his truck is special.

The method is similar to that used by King Minos of Crete. Not much has changed in 5000 years. 🙄

Action has always been a trusted and helpful member. The advice he has given me has been priceless.

Max, Your enthusiasm for the site is wonderful and well placed. Respectfully, I’m not comfortable with any member calling anyone here a bottom-feeder. From what I have seen, all members are welcome and invited to participate in a manner of their choosing.

Obviously your heart is in the right place. Membership should not be weaponized. This site is meant to be welcoming and helpful. This is a wonderful site that is potentially free for all. Anything else should be as per member discretion. I’m not comfortable telling others how to spend their...

Dude??!!

I should have said a viscoelastic clutch.

Kaskar and RWH will have all the parts you need. Others have converted to hydraulic clutch style. If you don’t ford water than hydraulic clutch for the puller fan might be a good way to go.

Replace the puller fan immediately. Seriously.

Never replace the mechanical puller fan. It is the biggest disaster and mistake you can ever make. The electric fans do not create enough air flow and will never be able to make enough air flow with today’s technology. Be warned.
