    Fun with Relays

    Could there be a chance the starter is shot? Or perhaps the cable going to the starter (hot wire) could be loose or cruddy! Try rapping the starter, it could be stuck! Just my 2 cents. Your voltage is way to high on the one bat 20V. The other is perfect 14.5V. The extra voltage could be...

    Anyone own a high mileage cucv?

    My M1028 only has 50K but I have a '82 Chevette Diesel with over 350K. I run it everyday to work. I believe servicing is the key. Good filters and good oil!!

    Warming up w/ charcoal?

    Actually 12.2 is on the low. 12.7 to 13.5 is the best. Make sure you check your voltage coming from the Alts to. Be sure they are putting out at least 13.0 to 14V. If not your batteries won't last as long as they should. There is sometimes little colored stickers on the batteries with a letter...

    carc over gillespie

    Yeah, I would rough up the paint pretty good. Don't miss any spots. You could use a 3M scotch bright pad. Get a bunch of them. Take care of any rust now. Then wipe the whole truck down with MEK Methel Ethel Ketone It drys quick. But not good to breath in. Once its all wiped down go ahead and...
