Any ideas someone said could be solenoid, filters etc... anyone experience this first hand before I get into it
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Bypass resistor...i know this is old...gp relay will probably go out soon after so change that too.....gp should not see 20v that I'm aware of since they are 12vWell sorted out the fuel and now changed the bad glow plugs however the plugs I was sold fried in 2 days. Checked the plugs and they say rated up to 17.5 volts. Checked on many other listings from different sources all are rated up to 20.5 volts. I am getting 23.5 volts through all glow plug connectors so my question is are there issues with under rated voltage if so I am surprised to see these plugs listed with NSN #'s for a 24V system knowing they are only rated up to 20.5V. Also at what point is the glow plug supposed to stop recieving voltage so it stops itself from burning out? I am trying to make sure I don't dump another set if I have a problem I am unaware of but so far I guessed the new ones burned out because they were rated at only 17.5 volts. Any thoughts?
They are not 12 volt glow plugs and if they are they're the wrong ones. CUCV uses 12 Volt, HMMWV uses 24V. 4x4guy, make sure you get the self regulating type equivalent of AC Delco 15G.Bypass resistor...i know this is old...gp relay will probably go out soon after so change that too.....gp should not see 20v that I'm aware of since they are 12v

0.8 lb [HR][/HR] Service tip:
A working glow plug should draw approximately 12 - 15 amps at 24 volts DC. Use extreme caution when testing the glow plugs as the tip will immediately become very hot on a working plug.
It's possible your protective control box is kaput causing your glow plugs to stay energized. Watch your voltage meter when you turn your start switch to run, it should jump down quite a bit for about 5-10 seconds, then jump back up a little, if it stays down, your glow plugs are still energized and probably your PCB is messed up. Which box do you have?
