    Tail lights out

    Was there any resolution to the problem? I'm having the same issue right now. Brake lights work Turn signals work Hazards work Running tail lights do NOT work Using a test light I get voltage at the switch, so my only guess is chasing wires... Any advice from previous people who fixed...

    1989 no start, glow plug controller

    I did not think about that too. It's very likely I would think. Does anyone know if you can put something like "dielectric grease" on top of the glow plug or inside the wired plug? Something I do on other electrical connections under the hood to keep connections good (clean, waterproof, etc)

    1989 no start, glow plug controller

    Thanks Chris! Got it to start eventually and made it home. All I really did was have the block heater plugged in for about 3 hours and the gp controller started to work normal again. Must not have liked the snow today. It wasn't even that cold (high 20's or so). Something to look into...

    1989 no start, glow plug controller

    Made it home! Truck started and all. All I really did was leave it plugged in for 3 hours and it worked. So after the 3 hours of having the block heater plugged in, the controller and wait to start light began working like normal. I turned key to run position, the wait to start light turned...

    1989 no start, glow plug controller

    Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll need to jump the engine mounted controller, not so much the fender mounted relay. I check the ohms of each glow plug and they were all less than .5. The engine does crank and try to turn over, just isn't catching. I do have continuity between the wires...

    1989 no start, glow plug controller

    I posted in "911 Diesel Down" section, but thought I put it here depending who's online. (really in the interest in getting help to make it home tonight) HELP! (Broomfield Colorado) Made it to work this morning in Colorado, but won't re-start to go to lunch (and hopefully home in 3 more...

    1989 no start, glow plug controller

    HELP! (Broomfield Colorado) Made it to work this morning in Colorado, but won't re-start to go to lunch (and hopefully home in 3 more hours). When I turn ignition to the "Wait to Start" position, the glow plug relay just does it's "hard" clicking noise immediately. This is the noise I...

    Timing in Denve

    Thanks icanfixall for the response. I did the work myself, and did remove and re-install the gear. I can only assume I did it right. Probably check 100 times that the gear was right before putting the housing on. The shop was only to get it timed, which thanks to Joe coming over with the...

    Timing in Denve

    I hear that, but I need to make sure I fix (if there is) the root problem so I don't smoke out everyone when towing. And wasting fuel. I suppose I should also mention it starts really rough when cold. Meaning I have to give it fuel after it turns over to keep it from "choking out". Although...

    Timing in Denve

    UPDATE ** UPDATE ** I would like to give a huge thanks to "swervyjoe". He was able to come over and help time my engine. We checked to see the timing it was set at that the shop said was "right where it should be". It turned out to be set at 4.5 degrees!!!:eek: So we bumped it up to 9.8...

    Timing in Denve

    Cool. I'll give you a call tomorrow (tied up tonight). So follow up question to all....can a properly timed Baby Moose on a NA engine pass emissions at elevation, or do I need a turbo (i.e. MORE air)? Thanks.

    Timing in Denve

    Anyone know of a place in Denver who can properly time a pump? Or anyone in Denver have the tool and willing to give a hand? I've searched where I can so far. It was funny when I even went to International (off hwy 85). They were nice but even said "That truck's too old for us."...
