I like the sound of this best. You threw common sense in with the General's sense!

Finally tightened my belts. Will be picking up a set of new ones soon. They were kind of loose and squaling on GP use and some recently with headlights and heater on high.

Finally installed my rear center three-light cluster (whatever it's proper name is). Picked it up at the GA rally. It was green, but now it matches my truck. It also has 12v lights that were wired in parallel, keeping it at 12v. I rewired it in series so now the combo can handle 36v but I will...

I thought I had a light in my ashtray the other night. Had me thinking the general was on it putting that there. Turned out my mini flashlight was on.

Daily? Nice! I have thought of the fact there is nobody nearby with another 5 ton, and I would be in a world of hurt if I did get stuck.

Very nice looking truck! Congratulations. I would also like to get a M923A2 for some mud wheeling. I get some mudding in the 929 doing on site work, but have to be gentle as she is a source of income.

That brings up another forgotten fact. The wire that goes to that on mine looks as if it had gotten really hot/short circuited. It had some bare copper showing but I routed it in a way to be impossible to touch ground. I only saw one prong on the srnsor though.

No. I have no fast idle. Again, my ignorance of diesels is showing through. How do I fix that? Like, where to begin?

Tested my ether start system today. Had wondered if it was gonna work ever since I got the truck in April. 15 deg f here this morning. I apparently had two very good batteries out of the four, as I am only using them two and the starter zipped. I tried it first with no ether and it definitely...

It was 14.5°F here this morning at sunrise. I went out to test the GPs and it started the same as when it was 35°F. Only thing is, as I was about to walk away from it, she stalled. Then I restarted it the same way (that I have recently been taught), and it started fine but needed a little...

I count 53 voters? Am I missing something? We need another 53, all for gottaluvit's CUCV!

I got my glow plug situation fixed. Kept it all stock and used Delco 60Gs and crimped new 1/4" blade terminals on the GP wires. Three were stuck and needed broken off and fished out of the injector hole. Used a vacuum with a small tip to suck out any little pieces I may have not seen. So it was...

I agree with that being harder, better remembered. I am glad it helped you as well.

Well, great news. Put glow plugs and injectors in and new 1/4" blade plugs on. Hooked everything back to stock on the relay, plugged the module card in and turned the key to on, waited for the wait light to go out and then hit the starter and she fired right up! About ten seconds passed with the...

Please, please inform me what must be done! They started for uncle sam so they must be able too.

It is frustrating but you will figure it out and then celebrate!

Yes sir. °F It gets pretty cold on rare occasion here (especially the past two years) and sure enough I will need it when it is the coldest day of the year.

I would name the line from the passenger tank to the selector as my primary suspect. If the driver's tank works good than you must be good from the selector all the way to the lift pump or either tank should lose the prime equally.

Well, mine is my only truck and I will learn what I must and prep her as I must, but she must start at -20 if need be. Prefer no ether and no block heater. The 5 ton I drove in Germany in mid 80s started every time I asked it to with no ether and of course no block heater. I have stanadyne all...

Now that I realize I was the fault of my issues and you have informed me of the correct starting procedure, I believe I will keep it stock. I don't like stuff being molested but didn't want to deal with stuck glow plugs either. However, it wasn't their fault nor the 24v ballast resisters fault...
