I backprobe the wires when it's cold and see what it is plugged in, then warm it up and see if it changes. The ohm thing is good but you really don't know if it's working...probably do that with the key on and off and see if there is a change as well. I think it would be very easy to do that...

Total for sure...but I've been doing this for decades and have everything I need to do it. If you haven't done it before I always start removing all wiring first then it doesn't look as bad. Another thing I do after pulling the torque converter bolts is make sure to push the converter off the...

I'd go after the temp sensor on the rear of the drivers side head. That's supposed to trigger the ground on the board to turn on the glows. Does it start after you jump the glow plug relay? I can only assume it's cold up there now and mine need glows at 50 degrees. Check the ground at the...

That stinks!!! So your gonna swap the motor out for another. I do these in about 3 4 hours depending on exhaust fight which the blue tipped wrench always wins. I think the most helpful thing would be park it where you're gonna pull it and pop the drain on the radiator...let it drain overnight or...

I'd be curious if your cap was releasing some coolant out to the overflow and it came out of that since you said it leaks or the hose to it has one in it. My trucks like to sit about 5 6 inches below the cap.

I hear that completely!! I've got several spare ones that work but very old. I'd be upset if a new one got damaged! I'd check the resistor output and make sure it's at the 12 volts. I think the small wire that hooks up with the glow plug output goes to the card so over volts would be bad. I'd...

Ok was it on the drivers back head? It could be the card though! Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

I'm curious if you pop a tiny amount of air in the expansion pipe outlet will you be able to find a leak with some soapy spray water? You'd have to block off the output shaft though. Maybe pop the drive shaft in it. I don't think trans fluid should come out of the trans bolts. Sent from my...

Truck looks great! I have question as to which temp sensor you replaced? If I remember right the one the triggers the glow plugs is on the rear of the drivers head. They came out with a new style one with a 2 prong gm plug and sensor. The original one is a single wire. Did you install the new...

It's locked up in storage now for winter! Visibility with the top down is 100%...top up about 10%!! The hard top is nice to have on it for cold days since it's insulated less noise too. It has the flip up lights that are double bulb each. I don't drive it much and my son jokes it'll be a barn...

I think the company that I've seen is quadstar that makes or sells the spacer. 6.5 is about a quarter inch shorter on the snout, it opened up a easy fix so you can get a quality balancer not from China. I've seen a few online forums where they didn't use the spacer then needed a front cover once...

In my decades of dealership life I've seen a few come apart but never an old gm one. The ones that did were only 5 or 6 years old too. Korean cars. Even my 69 corvette still has the original one on it. So when I do replace one it's when a front main has leaked on it for some time and the rubber...

The big red wire yes and one of the wires on the regulator plug Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

Yes the sticky post with the test plug. You can take them into the store to get tested as well but they do hook up different than most stock gm with the isolated ground...but if you tell then that they should be able to figure it out. Testing on the truck tells you if the truck is ok and the...

So you got both gen lights working which great! Do that alternator test and see if they need rebuilt or it's a bad wire etc. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

True but he's using gas engines as an example that it's common to shim a 6.2...do you shim your starters? Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

Those are gas engines Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

Yeah it's probably coming from a bad body ground that back fed through the glow plug card. The ground at the passenger rear intake bolt to the cab is all it has unless you added some. The buzz could have been the gp relay. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

I don't think the glow plug wire will turn on anything since it only gets power when the glow plugs are on plus the wire itself is a fusible link...with that being said the glow plug wire could be burned if it was touching ground when you cold started. As far as the charging my guess is...

Guessing radio feedback from the alternators with a touch of a bad ground. Could need one of the interference filters on the power side. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk
