Are the batteries connected correctly? Assuming the truck is still wired for 24v, then they should be in series, not parallel. If the starter is getting only 12v when it is expecting 24v, that might make it turn the engine over slowly.
Does it have the Doghead mod? If so, may have shorted out the 24v feed. I'd suggest heading over to the CUCV helpful threads sticky and start reading up on fusible links.
How about testing the voltage at the starter solenoid when the key is turned to crank and the starter doesn't move? That would eliminate a lot of guess work and shotgun parts replacement...
My guess would be that with over half the glow plugs being bad, the resistor wasn't really working hard before. With all new plugs, the resistor probably got warm, and burned off any dust or debris that were on it.
As for the spade terminal size difference, the stock Wellmans had the smaller...
Where did you mount the rest of the radio? What did you do for the antenna and antenna mount? I need to get my 8800 installed one of these days.. was thinking about using a short jumper cable in the feedline that would go through the hole in the top, so the top could be removed without messing...
I had that happen at random times with mine. The plug from the LMC harness that plugs into the stock headlight socket to control the relays was a real loose fit. Tightened up the connectors in the housing to make better contact, and no further problems. Other than that, do you have the two hot...
Search here on SS for threads on this. Many just get some longer bolts for the trans-to-block, and then just slide the trans back far enough to get to the flexplate...
And it is a stock part, nothing special... GM part number is in the parts TM, and can be crossed at just about any decent auto...
Cascade failure has little to do with what make / model GPs are used. The real questions are the MTBF numbers for the various makes / models of GPs and if they tend to swell when exposed to a higher duty cycle or higher voltage. GPs that are self-limiting should do better in the swelling...
In the civi Blazer / Jimmy, the whole passenger seat, base included, tilts forward to allow access to the back seat. That is the catch for the latch, same as the rear seat uses when it is not tilted forward.
