I could not get 13 G plugs and I was not using Wellman plugs, so I used the 60s. Also I read that the 60 plugs are self limiting meaning they should not melt theirselves.

I see. I thought the plugs quit getting power once the wait light went out. Shows what I know!

The way I understand it is the plugs stop getting power when the light goes out and you hear the relay shut off.
But if something was to hang up and the power kept flowing the plugs would turn themselves off that's the way I understand it.

Now I don't work for ac delco so it is possible I'm wrong. Albert Einstein didn't make the light bulb on the first try.

Your GP light goes out when it has determined the GP have been on long enough that the cylinder chamber is hot enough to start. My GP relay does not kick off for about 10-seconds or so later after the vehicle is started. This can be verified by looking at your volt meter. It should go from yellow to green when your GP relay kicks off

You mean Thomas Edison?

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice.

Since I put shackles on the truck I figured I should hang a chain from it. The funny thing about this chain is, that my mom found it and two others I the road.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

I added some rear facing lights.
I had gotten some led work lights for Christmas and finally had a good use for them. Each light has 5 led bulbs they are just traveler brand from tractor supply I wired them in to a switch so when I turn it on i get the center oval light and the two led sets. They do a good job of lighting behind the truck.i will update with pics of light output when I can.

Thank you all for reading.

CUCVLOVER I have a question.

How did they mount the bed? Was it on the existing holes or new ones?

Just asking as i like how the flatbed looks, and might put one one a CUCV if i ever get one.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

Here you go. I don't know how a factory bed mounts lol.
Need anymore pics or anything?

Hey guys it's time for some more post.
I was finally able to add some thump to my stereo in my truck. I got a 300 watt car dual subwoofer with the amplifier and all built in the box. It won't fit behind the seat so it gets to ride there for now until I figure out something else. I can pull it really easy. It's only about 4 wires and 2 are plugs.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

Also a while back I changed the oil in the front diff. It was super easy, just take all the cover bolts off except the too 2 and slowly drain the oil and change the gasket and refill.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

Right before Christmas my truck finally laid down on me.
The injection pump had took a dump.
So I was finally able to get it going now. I pulled them pump and sent it to diesel performance in Memphis Tennessee and have it rebuilt. They did a great job for a great price. They even painted the pump.
While I had the intake off I painted it is green and the air cleaner box black. I also cleaned the oil cap and CDR valve.
I did have to mount the pump twice since I got the line up pin in a bolt hole the first time.
Now that truck runs great. I have done 80 on the speedo and it was turning about 3300rpm maybe a little more. It will now do a burn out with no issues. The truck has its dangling objects back, and they are the huge hairy elephant type.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

Hey everyone. I know it's been a while since I posted up so I figured I would.
I have been running the snot out the green machine. The IP is holding up great, diesel care in Memphis did the rebuild btw. They are a great company to do business with.

I have been on a few all day runs lately where I was running 65+ for several hrs and it has been great.

Plans are to take this truck to this year's GA rally so if anyone wants to see the truck holler at me.

Jake is pretty excited about the rally. How far is that from us?

Here are some more pics.
I wrapped the wheel in paracord the other day and also did some cup holders

Wrapping it in Paracord is a great idea, if you ever need rope it is right on your wheel, and it protects the wheel.

Thank you.
I like it so far, it seems to stay tight and is also much cooler on my hands.
