I have two 750 watt heaters. to get around the start brace issue i just flipped around so the round end goes on the block. i think i had to drill out the hole on the round end for the block bolt and grind a radius onto the other end so it wouldn't interfere with the starter motor.
leaves just...
well I'm disappointed. it wasn't the ign switch.
Seriously though, it fixed. You guys didn't harp on grounds enough. It's always a ground.:rolleyes5:
turns out when i checked the grounds, all the one i checked looked fine, i missed one. (probably the ground that gave me problems last time)...
yes i have. most of these items are not digital though (could be wrong). for example the blower motor just receives a voltage not a digital '0' or '1' signal. or is it controlled through the comp? the rear blower works, and it gets the same voltage as the front blower.
Am i correct in...
yup i checked with a meter. about 11.9 with the the key on run (engine not on). a bit low, but i was just touching the neg probe to the dash cross bar. either way, it shouldnt stop things from working. i mean the blower would at least come on.
Checked the fuses and they seem fine.
Checked in cab fuses to make sure they had power and they did.
So i think you are right ak diesel driver, bad ign switch.
No other suggestions?
DTC 29 - Glow Plug Relay Fault
DTC 39 - TCC Stuck "OFF"
DTC 41 - Brake Switch Circuit Fault
After looking these i remembered about a 2 years back when i first put this motor in i had a similar issue but it only affected dash lights and the gear indicator light. Cant remember exactly why it stopped.
looked through ground locations in turbine doc's faq and it appears these items are spread out over several grounds. I'll still check them, but seems unlikely that they would all fail at once:???:
yup all at once. It was all working when i parked the truck. Started it up after work and this was what i found.
Also, add another symptom to the list: the glow plugs don't come on. (if i use my manual switch they work and the light turns on, but no automatic control on start).
I figure it...
Started up my truck after work and had some odd problems. all seem they could be related to dash electronics.
the airbag light is on.
the front blower wont turn on.
the wipers wont turn on.
front diff wont engage.
the gear indicator light isnt on.
abs light is off (odd because fuse is pulled)...
hmm. just checked a few things. Definitely don't have power to the front wheels. I know i used to so either that actuator was stuck, or someone relieved me of the wiring connector for some reason.:???:
So, i've looked online but cant find my answer, perhaps i dont know what im looking for.
Anyways, i noticed recently that the actuator on the front diff has nothing hooked up to it. there are matching electrical connectors at the frame, but no wiring in between. as far as i know there never...
how do i get one of these new silcone hose set ups? the original style that came with mine has worn out twice and any oil from the cdr just seeps right thru it.
never mind, i just realized i just skipped right past the post.
well the 87 burb had 275000 miles on it when you do the conversion, and i'm pretty sure it was the original motor. it was the strongest runner i have ever had. not pretty though. or fast what with 4.10 gears and no od :D. generally these motors seem to go out early or last forever (assuming they...
my 86 blazer was at roughly 370,000 kms when i sold it (stupid idea) and the engine was excellent. i actually had the bottom end apart at one point to redo the rear main seal and it looked new in there.
the 87 burb was at...440,000 kms or so i think. may have been higher. the body was a bit...
well I've heard good things about Accurate Diesel (which i think someone already mentioned). That's where i was planning on getting my next set. I was contemplating getting a set of marines myself. but it's up in the air atm.
I run duratherms as well. Had them in a 6.2, a 6.5 and a 7.3. the 6.2 and 6.5 needed a glow plug override when running the duratherms. The ford works just fine with the stock controller.
They have proven reliable.
I've got a Luk single mass flywheel and clutch behind my 7.3. Its got about 10,000 km on it. seems to be holding up nicely. maybe use the luk singlemass clutch set up from a 6.5TD.
