Cylinders 6 & 7 (2nd and 3rd from front on passenger side) are the ones that came out. The rest are stuck. I just cant believe they swelled from so few times of use.

I put all the same in. A new 8 pack of 13Gs. The Wellmans were all 6a843g070.

Well, I've done a lot of small things to the M1008. Mostly simple maintenance. Dealing with glow plug issues now and rear shocks soon. Next spring she gets new rocker panels. Vote for the camo CUCV! Vote gottaluvit!

Well, I just tested every wire to the glow plugs and every one had the correct voltage. So I went to pull one of the new 13Gs and it wont come out. All but two wont come out. Tested the two with jumper cables on 24v and nothing on them two that came out. Tested one of the wellman's that I took...

Tim292stro and cucvrus, you both have the solenoid wired in differently. Mine has the resistors and is as cucvrus's pic shows having the wire from the resistors to the top sol. post. I have 24v at that post. With the key on there is 24v at the bottom post but is going back and forth to 0v with...

After seeing castle bravo's ride, I can't even consider another. That thing is a beast! Can I borrow it so I can bid on a wrecker? She is beautiful! Dang it, how can I brag up my CUCV NOW?!

Hmm. No thanks button, so "thanks"! Looks like some beefy resistors and I will rewire mine if fingers have gotten to butchering. I like stuff stock, as their engineers hopefully knew more than the farmer I got the truck from.

What do you mean by "blown plug"? Glow plug?

CUCVRUS: thank you for your help and the pics. I remember seeing that black thing behind the air cleaner because it had me wondering what is hiding behind it. The solenoid looks brand new on mine. I hope it isn't all homerigged. I will post some pics tomorrow and some voltmeter results

Ok. I will check that. I have good understanding of electricity but ignorant to diesels.

I ran out of daylight, but will check voltage at each glow plug connector tomorrow. So strange how new plugs made it worse.

Yes sir.

Ok. Here it is. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?147087-New-Glow-Plugs-Installed-Starts-Worse-Than-Ever

Ok. I got this truck a couple months back and when the seller was showing me how it starts, he said it needed glow plugs before winter. When it started before, I always had to crank, stop, turn key off, crank again and it usually started (sometimes took a third attempt). After starting, there...

Good idea. I kind of thought about doing that. Ok, give me a minute and consider it done so we don't pollute this thread.

Ok, lotsa questions here, and only a few I know the answers to. Truck is 24v for starter, but I assumed the glow plugs were only 12v with this "saver". Dont know what or where a ballast resistor is. The plugs I took out where wellmans and I put in delco 13Gs. They were new so I assumed they...

No, tried it once and only difference was when it fired it reved high until my panic released the pedal. 1/4 second!

Also, when I got the truck, the seller showed me to let it do its few off and on relay clicks which showed on the voltmeter. Sometimes the second alternator light would stay on until all the relay clicks were done. The relay clicking and voltmeter fluctuations did not occur with a warm engine.

I dont think so. This was in the glove box.

Fixed my glove box latch. It had came unscrewed and fell apart. Easy fix. Replaced my glow plugs. Very easy job, however now it is harder to start. Thinking something else may be wrong. With the old glow plugs, it would take two to three attempts to get it to start. Now it takes six or seven. I...
