    24 volt "Ford" type remote starter solenoid

    eparsman, by hi torque do you mean Direct Drive? Because that is what I am getting from Dstang97- going back to the Direct Drive 24volt MT27. Do you have a specific Starter number? I have right now a Wilson that is heavy duty, Gear Reduction built like a brick outhouse. It is my second one, why...

    24 volt "Ford" type remote starter solenoid

    G, I have checked the grounds. In fact I added another grounf from the starter to the chassis. I know there is a problem with the system the way it is now; but I have looked at most every inch of the wire involved as well as all the components on the circuit, to include: 4 24 volt starters 2...

    Where's Your License Plate?

    Here's where mine is now: After running wire to thru the tubing- tapped-in from the rear running light, I added a piece of square tubing to the back of the plate with some JB Weld. It slips over the end of the tire mount tube and a hole was drilled thru both pieces. I added a 3/8" Spare tire...

    24 volt "Ford" type remote starter solenoid

    Have been looking for answers to my starter problem and ran across the articles on installing a solenoid on the firewall to fire the starter. Seem there is a simple way to jump the "s" post to the Battery post on the solenoid then put the Ford type solenoid on the firewall- like Ford...

    Why so many start issues?

    dstang97, I highly doubt it is your battery cables. Have you put a meter on it? I think it's just bad starters. Not yet its been pouring and snowing the last 72 hours. I will check the cable though. I just thought I better replace the one that goes to the starter and the one that connects the...

    Why so many start issues?

    Man the welding cable seems to run from about $1.79/ft to about $5/foot. Anyone got a line on what is the best kind? It seems like some of the 2g cable is more pliable. What kind do I need. Where can I get it at a good price.

    Starter Disengages after 2 seconds

    Starter shim...Or maybe the starter nose cone needs tweaking so that the starter sits completely flush. Other threads discuss this.

    Why so many start issues?

    All the battery cables need to be replaced or just the one between the two batteries and the one that runs to the starter?

    What's the best step for the M1009?

    I have these right now- picked em off a truck at the wrecking yard cleaned and painted Drab Brown. I don't like it because as I pivot into the seat my foots gets torqued between the supports. I found this pair at the yard also. It's a better design as it allows any angle without binding.

    Why so many start issues?

    So far I have heard that the resistance in the battery cables may be the culprit because they may lead me to longer start times, meaning more contact abuse in the starter or starter solenoid, which as we all know is sealed and not easily diagnosed. As far as this problem goes I guess ideally we...

    Why so many start issues?

    There was a 12v Delco in the first time it started doing this (bought the Blazer this way). I replaced it with a caltric from ebay. It was a gear Reduction model. It started to act up the same way, with intermittent failures so I ordered a Wilson 28MT to replace it. A few months later it went...

    Why so many start issues?

    I have to revive my post of 9/20/11 as yesterday I drove from Portland to Eugene and got a no start situation. I had to be towed home $500! I have a 28MT starter that has been running fine on my daily driver M1009. I had already done the Doghead mod long ago. I carry a spare relay so I changed...

    loudspeaker for CB/scanner need wiring input.

    I am trying to figure out how to rewire the harness that will go from a non-MIL radio (CB or Scanner) to a LS-671/VRC Speaker. I have standard CB civvy speakers; but I wanted to use the 671. I have looked over the schematics and it looks like the MIL Cable I have can be utilized by cutting off...

    Hood insulation install

    Lay the insulation down and be sure of fitment before you attempt to spray the adhesive on. Mark the corners and sides with a marker to help guide the final lay-in. Use a thin (bamboo) skewer to mark each "hole" as you go. Leave the skewer in each hole until all are accounted for. The adhesive...

    Sea Foam?

    Instead of Sea Foam, I use the Diesel Purge- NAPA to clean the deposits out of the top end/intake. According to the Spicer Study on Diesel Additives (DieselPlace.com), the Opti-Lube:2)Opti-Lube XPD Multi-purpose + anti-gel cetane improver, demulsifier HFRR 317, 319 micron...

    VIC 1 in the M37

    ke6rwj, Thanks for the help. I'll go ahead and doctor up a cable to fit the other end of the CX-13292/VRC cable (I'd like the speaker to have an authentic look even though it terminates to only a VHF scanner). Can you verify what I can use for the +12volt/-12volt inputs. I was going to just...

    VIC 1 in the M37

    ke6rwj, I followed the link you provided. Basically it is this: [CODE]Properly interfacing this speaker into 12volt radio, will require the use of an isolation circuit to prevent the 24volt system from harming the 12volt radios. example interfaces can be seen in integrating with other...
