cucv glow plug card

[tjmilitary]

There may be a thread on this already but couldn't find what I wanted. The GP controller card in my M1009 burnt this weekend and I'm looking for another does anyone know where to get one. I would like to keep the system stock and perfer not to install a push button. Can anyone help?

what cooked tho? i know you can got to radio shack get what you need. just need to solder it. i have done many. real easy

Seconded. Find the burned component, replace it if you can find a RadioShack that still has, well, radio parts etc.

Before you reinstall though, might want to check over the rest of the system to make sure it's not going to blow again immediately.

Or throw the whole mess in the garbage and run manual glow plugs.

Or get on ebay and find those gp controllers they sell. They're not the stock controller, but some new production unit. Probably made in china, but probably work too. somewhere around 30-40$

There was a thread on this recently, but it must've gotten moved or deleted.

Do a search. CCatlett was fixing them and knew the component that commonly fails. Front Line had them at one time.

flmv.net has them @ $150.00

 

[tjmilitary]

Is there anything I would need to check to prevent it from happining again. Or was it the cards time to go.

Check here for electrical troubleshooting around page 110. I just went through this but ended up putting a manual switch to operate the plugs. It a no-brainer.

Just curious- should I ever run into this problem- what are the specs on the GP card? Part#, vendors, approx. price, etc. ?
(My plan for my new M1009 is to keep a stash of spare parts so I'm not scrambling if/when something happens to my ride. )

Thats what I've been tring to find out. Dosen't reallly look like anynoe sells these cards.

 

[devilman96]

GM parts direct is the cheapest place to buy them...
The PN is in the TM...
As stated they are easy to fix...

 

[nk14zp]

Like said before make shure everything else is good first. I have seen a lot of cards changed that didnt last.

 

[hobie237]

Or just spend the $6 on a pushbutton switch and some wire so if it acts up you can bypass it.

 

[tjmilitary]

What should I look for to be wrong? I looked at the TM but I'm not that great with electric. Can anyone tell me what I should look for that may be malfunctioning?

went through -20 and -20P soft copies for 5 hours. The relay and part # is in there repeatedly. I never could find a part # for the controller card. Either I'm blind or it's not there. Thanks.

(I did order the "switch assembly glow plug CUCV" from FLMV. I couldn't cross reference their part # in either TM)

Can you run both the controller card and a manual switch? In case it is uber cold and you want a bit longer of a glow?

 

[m38inmaine]

If you want a longer glow just turn the key off and back on again and it will cycle again, no need for a button. If your truck is running correctly it will start, mine starts here @ -24. Fuel leaks, dragging starter, weak batteries, dirty connections, plugged filters, bad glow plugs all add up to poor starting. Converting these to 12v or bypassing the original system is not really the answer, fix what's wrong, don't band-aid it.

The glow plug card/modulator part number is 12034592, they were available through GM a couple years back, I checked on gmpartsdirect.com and it shows they don't have them.

 

[jag7720]

Mine is not broken and is already 12v, manual plugs and starts and runs fine.

If the controller is like the one in my van then it doesn't do a full cycle on every turn of the key... it only turns on when the plugs cool off and then only on enough to bring it up to temp...

I was just asking....

 

[m38inmaine]

There is a temp sensor that controlls if they come on, if the engine is still hot they won't come on, if you need them all the time then there is engine/IP problems. The post wasn't directed at you, seems like so may people are having problems with these and bypassing and patching. reading the tm and troubleshooting really helps. Yes, you could run both.
