Replacing the IP head is a pretty easy job, and if that is what failed to begin with, usually corrects the problem. That said, there are other things that can go wrong in the IP and cause the motor not to run.

The nice thing about the 60g's is they are self limiting, so they are less prone to swelling.
But I agree, if the stock military gp system is working, leave it alone.
I know there are a couple of people on here who rebuild Deuce turbo's, but is there anyone who can/will rebuild a banks turbo for the 6.2? is it even rebuilable, or is it a throwaway? Some of the threads I've read indicate that Banks does not sell a "kit" to rebuild them, but will gladly sell...
I was not advocating, nor did I recommend any other setup. However, the voltage present at the GP relay from the resistors in a stock military CUCV is 24 volts, the 60G (civy) glow plugs were designed to run on 12 volts only.
As always,
Your mileage may vary. :grin:
Because the 60g gp's have a wider connection tang than the stock military wellman 070, 13g's, The connectors have to be replaced in order to connect to the 60g glow plug. So, it sounds like someone has bypassed your resistor bank and wired straight 12 volts to the glow plugs.
If the resistors are bypassed, most likely someone converted the glowplugs from the wellman 070's or AC 13's to AC 60g's, have the connectors that go to the GP's been replaced or are they still stock?
