Re: My 52 GMC Build
You got that right!
Making your own wiring takes up a lot of time! Glow plug harness is looking good tho!! |

I had some company in the shop this morning. It's our French bulldog, Tiger. She was lonely. We put our old dog down last night:( She was a Boxer/old English bulldog she was 13.5 years old.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Sorry to hear about your dog lowers, she lived a long life, and I'll bet a happy one.
Even though I'm unschooled at this auto wiring, or 12v wiring period....ya know, the relay stuff and all....I am looking forward to it. I like detail work. God I bet your freakin chomping at the bit to get finished up and take a spin!! Chance |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
Wiring is something I'm not looking forward to... Sorry to hear about the dog, such a tough thing to do. I've always wanted a Frenchie, someday.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Sad to hear about your dog. Where did you get your steering column from? Can't find any in my area.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
I'm looking for column that has no key but has tilt and gear indicator on it. I hear a mid 70's to mid 80's gm van works well.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Sorry to hear about Shooter, Lower.
I bet she had a great life with you! @ Farmersid, I have a mid 70's Tilt from a Chevy Van, works great. Only had to shorten it. Do not know the length for an AD truck... |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
That's a bummer about Shooter. I had a Boxer a few years ago... my boy Ryno. He was a bundle or energy. Too much sometimes! Whenever I took him for a walk in the evening, I'd stop at my kids' school and let him off the leash. He'd run full tilt three or four lengths of the soccer field, then just casually walk back over to have me put the leash back on. If we walked or drove past a Tim Horton's, he'd start drooling like crazy! The drive-thru girls always gave him a Timbit. Unfortunately, all the Timbits he ate probably didn't do him much good. He died before his 7th birthday from Pancreatic Cancer.
:(You sure miss them when they're gone. |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
Your heater reminded me of the awesome gas heaters they put in VW's in the 60-70's. I had one, and it just blasted out the heat. I figured something like that would be cool for your truck... then it dawned on me... no gas. :lol:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Sorry to hear about Shooter! My wife has a corgie that is about the same age, and is going down hill slowly too. Our husky, which is less than a year old, drives her nuts. That's probably what is keeping the corgie going. Haha

More wiring today. Trying to get the circuits that I need to start the motor done. Glow plugs. Fuel solenoid, Fuel pump, Starter. I'm planning to start the motor this Saturday to check for leaks on: fuel, PS, Trans cooler before I go any further. It will be nice to hear it run again.
Also got the inter cooler to intake pipes put together. Attachment 1487766 |

Saturday was a great day got enough permanent wiring done to start the motor.
First time putting diesel in the tank was a great feeling. Items tested: trans cooler, pb, ps, fuel lines and filters, glow plug harness. I found 2 small leaks but just loose fittings. Also took short vid. Attachment 1489161 :metal: http://vid51.photobucket.com/albums/...psfusdg3fa.mp4 |
