    Looking for a glow plug relay...

    Sorry my posts were from my phone. I should have said GP relay not "go relay". I didnt know before that there was only one main relay in the system. I am glad to know that now! I saw some small relays under the dash but i assume they are the normal head light and etc relays in any car. The...

    Looking for a glow plug relay...

    Thanks I was getting confused about the go relay and a small 4 or 5 pin relay. I ordered a new metal body relay as I have the plastic one and it's not switching. So I would like to look at the card to double check but I think I'll carry a spare of both in the truck once I get it fired up. I have...

    Looking for a glow plug relay...

    Where is the glow plug relay located? The relay, not the 24v junction relay powering the Glow Plugs. I am under the impression that there is a small replaceable relay for the system as well. I saw 3 relays under the dash above the fuse box. Also where is the glow plug circut board located...

    Looking for a glow plug relay...

    A few posts back I had some wiring issues. I found the 24v short to ground and I burnt 3 fuseable links. Links are fixed and gound solved. So I noticed 2 burnt spots on my glow plug relay. very small and they may not be fromt the original issue as the fuseable link feeding it the 24v is fine...

    '86 m1009 with TOO much power possible bad ground?

    Eureka Eureka! I have 24.5 v at the passegner alt. It needed a 2nd ground to the manifold, I rebuilt the pass alt with new hardware and replaced the stud for the red/wht wire connection. I have almost no voltage drops around the engine with the grounds and their connection. Tomorrow I'll...

    '86 m1009 with TOO much power possible bad ground?

    Wow great post. He has a 100 amp alt and a dual battery setup. That's as much as I know because when I rebuilt the engine he bought a new smaller starter the engine barley turned over. Not usually a good feeling when first starting a fresh rebuild. I couldnt even bleed the fuel lines. A stroke...

    '86 m1009 with TOO much power possible bad ground?

    I rebuilt a buddys m1009 for the banks turbo install. He had the dual battery single alt setup. I thought I could recreate his loom if need be as his runs great. It has the same 24v starter and glow plugs so at this point I am leaning towards that if I cant nail this system down. I'd love to...

    '86 m1009 with TOO much power possible bad ground?

    I printed a circut chart from CUCV Electrical, I removed the ground I supplied to the passenger alt also. I checked the fuse links links and so far they are ok. I checked the drivers alt set up: 1 red at positive post, small pen tip style post pluged into harness (brown), and ground wire to...

    '86 m1009 with TOO much power possible bad ground?

    That's it! I grounded it. I'll check continuity at the fuse able link. Are they blue and orange wires located just below the junction boxes? Thanks to all that applied ill get back one the truck this weekend looks like that's the start of the issue

    '86 m1009 with TOO much power possible bad ground?

    The positive wiring for both alts are stock. I moved the grounds for the alts due to the banks turbo install. I have the passenger alt grounded to the valve cover stud which is grounded off the ground bank on the firewall. I think the single alt setup was grounded above passenger headlight. I'll...

    '86 m1009 with TOO much power possible bad ground?

    Ok should I ground the passenger alt to the frame or the ground above the headlight. Also can I use the ground stud on the alternator or should I ground out to the case of the alt? Thanks all I have left on the truck is to bleed the fuel lines and I'm ready for the open road

    '86 m1009 with TOO much power possible bad ground?

    Just fininshed my second banks turbo install on a m1009. First had dual batteries with 1 alternator no problem. My m1009 has the dual Batteries and Dual alternators. I had to remove the passengerside grounds from the frame near the lower radiator hose. (heat + will rub) I have a good...
