Hi Ken
Yes the glow plugs on the Humvee series are 24 volt. Yes you can use
them in place of the 12 volt glow plugs and ballast resistor on the
cucv. Yes you can use the AC60G (and I do on the trucks here) and they
do not swell, work great but do heat slower. It usually takes 5 seconds
or so for the wait light to go out. They work great in cold weather.
In the case of farbed up trucks with adhoc pushbuttons and whatnot they
will give you some protection also if someone holds the button on for
too long. They also will protect against swelling of plugs in the heads
if the original timer/controller fails in the on position.

Subject: [MV] Yet More CUCV ?
Greetings allknowing list. Now I'm no fool with the GM 6.2 diesel but
not
that up on CUCV electronics. For right now I'm going to adapt a manual
switch
to the solenoid until I get around to actually troubleshooting the
circuit.
Here's my thoughts and questions. I understand why the resistor on the
firewall
is used instead of the 12V bussbar. Now aren't the glowplugs on the
HMMWV 24
volt? I know that they have different plugs, could they be used in
place of
the originals and the resistor? Next thought, has anybody used the 60G
plugs?
Do they require a longer heat cycle? I'll probably just buy some non
swelling
plugs from John Kennedy since he has supplied most of my other 6.5 stuff
and
these plugs of his just don't swell. The manual switch might assist in
theft
too not that abybody steals M1009s.
Thanks for the opinions.
Kenny
