Nope.

They got 12 volts. The plugs were cycled on/off.
Some of the earlier 5.7 (OLDS gas/diesel) conversions used 12 Volt (book
says 11 volt)
plugs but they later went to the 6 volt type with the cycling.
This was done to facilitate quicker startups especially in colder climates
when
the battery voltage would be low as well.
>glow plugs are still in the truck they would be 12V would they not?
They are. Though again, my AC/Delco book specs them at 11 Volts.
Delco says AC-13G for the CUCV and AC-15G for the HMMV.
Books and experiences can be wrong.
$.005 worth.
