Glad you made it home ok. How did it run down the road with the new IP?

What about the 6 legged ground wire at the top of the parking brake bracket? That ground has a part in just about everything electrical under the dash. The filament in the ALT lights has to conduct electricity for the exciter wires to work. That doesn't always mean the lights will glow.

I would suggest looking in the -20 manual trouble shooting section and following the steps. Seems like you already figured out the truck side of the wiring seems ok. How did you figure the diode Trio was good without taking the diode Trio out and checking resistance on each arm? That is...

Good idea on the white paint Tom. Thanks for the tip.

Another tip probably a day too late. Put a rubber glove over your paint cup cap. No matter how carefull you are, that little vent will get paint on it. Murphy's Law says that collected paint will then drip right in the middle of the biggest surface you are painting. If you hold a rag over...

Looking good Mark. Wear long sleeves unless you like the crusty feeling on your arms.

They used to be here on the site and might be again. For now, go here: JATONKAM35s HOME ON THE WEB

Check each glow plug for resistance between the blade terminal and the head with the wire off. 1-3 Ohms is what you should have. The -20 manual has a huge troubleshooting section that walks you through glow plug fixing.

Time for a new 3 lever. The head light power out goes to the selector switch on the floor. That is where hi or low beam is determined. Make sure the connections there are good before you throw out the 3 lever, but it sure seems like the 3 lever is the problem.

The self cancelling turn signals are done by a plastic piece inside the column between the steering wheel and the lock cylinder.

Looking through your multiple threads on the same basic problem. One finds a common trend. It works great!, it is a piece of crap, I changed a bunch of stuff, it runs great, it is a piece of crap, repeat..... You posted up asking for help. Changing filters was discussed before and ensuring...

That is what you get for working in an air conditioned shop. Everybody wants to come inside with you.

Wow Rory. I had forgotten or never heard yours was a target hull. Amazing come back. Somehow I also missed the question a few post up about one of my other addictions. British cars. No, no Cobra. That is a 1957 MGA. My wife wants it to be her daily driver some day. I convinced her it...

Remember back when gasoline engines had distributors. points and such? A little bit of dirt or crud inside the cap, on the rotor or points made the engine idle bad. The more crud or out of spec the points got, the worse it would idle, start and eventually stumble going down the road. The only...

Some of the direct drive units also say "no shim" on the cone the solenoid bolts to. So, not all the starters are supposed to have shim. The redux ones don't either.

Joe, Section 7-3 of the CUCV -34 manual takes you through a complete Hydroboost tear down and back together again. I just happened to see that yesterday while looking for something else.

1 quart will normally fill a completely dry system on a M35 and let it be full after bleeding. You kept being told to get a complete dog bone because the other end of that one is just as old as the end that broke. Get new and don't worry about it again for a few decades.

Which vehicle are you asking about. GMC, REO? The REO governor is set at 3400 rpm. Why would you want to turn a straight 6 faster than that?

There are seals on the throttle shaft that can be replaced. However, if those seals are shot and your fuel lines are shot. Chances are the inside of the pump which is the same age is also shot. You will be time, money and frustration ahead by just getting a new IP, replacing every rubber hose...

How does your exhaust sound? Can you put your ear next to either tail pipe and get a smooth sound or is it skipping and not really a constant beat? I have 3 6.2 trucks here at my house right now. Two of them are smooth as glass at all times and have a very constant sounding exhaust at each...
