I'm sure it's been discussed hundreds of times, and I did a search on the forum, but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.
Just picked up a 1985 M998 last week, 6.2L. Did a few quick checks of the basics, got brand new 6TL batteries, and wanted to take it for a spin. First 3 days glow plug light came on for approx. 10 seconds, shut off and started fairly easily. I've driven it maybe a dozen times in the last 3 days, no problems. This morning when I went to start, the glow plug light flashed for an instant and then shut off. I cycled the switch several times, did this over an over. Maybe one time it stayed on for a full second or 2. The Humvee did start, but you could tell the glow plugs were not heated up all the way, started hard.
I have a green labeled box, not sure what brand. I also have the grounding harness kit, but I have NOT put it in yet.
Suggestions?
