Good Points I'm well aware of the dry climate there. He still needs to be aware of fuel issues Especially if using any kind of Bio blend. Once that Bio mass separates into a Gooey mess, he'll pay attention then. Or maybe you guy's are lucky enough to not have to deal with Bio blends, unlike...

Treating the Fuel with some kind of stabilizer or quality additive and keeping the moisture drained off Is probably the most important thing you can do. Mine (everything) sits with a battery maintainer on them and I at least start them couple times a month And drive when possible. Tom

NO, I don't think so, other than re-jetting to a bigger jet, I guess that could be a altitude issue. Are you high up in the hills? Otherwise could be a fuel restriction issue. Tom

Yes In individual forums. I see the CUCV forum appears now correct with "helpful threads at top then new threads. Deuce forum has numerous threads at the top then current threads, Thanks for reply, I know this takes time to sort . Tom

Good news. Now Check the charging system to be sure the front battery Alt.1 is charging. While your at Check back battery Alt 2 is good. While running each battery should have 14.2 V at the connections with a VOM. Tom

Is there any way to combine the half dozen or so old threads into something, rather Than scrolling through them to get to current posts? Or is that a setting on my end I need to look at? Thanks for the updated format. It all look great and I'm learning through it. Tom

Well, It looks correct. I'm sure you used the correct solenoid from the Part numbers from previous threads? One thing about a wide range of solenoids is they look the same, but are internally different. If that checks, start looking for a pinched wire, or a locked starter. Tom

I think it would also help if the first half dozen or so posts which I think were Stickies in old Forum were combined into One Thread sticky or ? something rather than scrolling through them All to get to first current post. I'm liking the new format and trying to adjust to it. Tom

You need to recheck your wiring you did at the relay Sounds like your shorted to ground and blew a fusible link. Tom

After you charge the battery, you need to load test it again to see if it's any good. If you proves good, then you need to check why it was dead, Charging issue? It's best to replace multiple battery systems in pairs as a general rule. However in the case of the CUCV system being the front...

No problems here, other than need to log in. Minor problem. Nice Upgrade! Works for me Tom

Just find a 12Volt starter for a 1984 K30 6.2 diesel truck. All the chain stores will have or get it. Core might be a problem. Too much $$$ to convert a 24v to 12 Tom

Nice Looking Truck. Tom

I'm not going to say that GP harness is a common problem, But a few have known to go bad at the splice. The #8 or 10 gauge wire spliced, you mention at the buss, Was the fusible links. I hope they were replaced as required. Tom

Hi Bill, Check the grounds is where I would start. Tank sender to frame. Tom

The key here is being properly maintained. Keep all the glow plugs working, keep good high CCA batteries, and fuel anti-gel. My M1028A1 starts all winter long easily. Been as low as -25 I also use a winter front. That being said a 110V block heater in one of the frost plugs also Goes a long...

If it helps him, there are NOS Military rebuild kits available to you From the usual vendors. Pick one up and forward to him. Unless of course he has everything. Tom

Is your cold start fast idle, and timing advance working? If not this will cause smoky start/warm up. Tom

I have good luck using that method on other bolts and starter bolts, over the years. Contrary to popular belief, that's the reason why I never loc-tite my starter bolts. And never had any come loose,and can't remember the last time one broke. BUT it will probably be soon now(: Tom

Why not put it in the oil pan were it belongs? That's where every heavy truck or Equipment engine I have seen is located. Tom
