Thanks for the both your ideas,
I think my long winded story, overshadowed the question.
so referring to the 20 manual fig f-9 page f-11
I never even considered bypassing the resistor block. (one wonders why it
even there )
1.generator 1, (left)
I get a draw of 5 amps constantly (even thought I have the key off )
(if the key is on the GEN 1 light lights faintly)
If i remove the 2 wire connector
( one wire goes to the 12 volt Eng harness, and the other to the GEN 1
light in the dash )
, then the current draw goes away. 0 amps .
2. Glow plug relay, has 24 volts on top,
and if we hot wire it it actuates fine,
If you turn the key on when your hot wired it lets go.
(this is telling me something is grounded ???? or drawing all my power to
"normally actuates it."
SO,
2. What is drawing current form the glow plug relay ??
1. What would cause the truck to draw 5 amps , unless the alternator has the
gen1 light cable removed ???
Same thing I guess ???

I'd agree with Stu here on the resistor mounted to the back of the firewall

(or cowl depending on what school you come from). I've replaced my resistor
two times now because they keep shorting out to twenty four volts. In the
long run I just removed the glow plugs from the resistor and moved them over
to the 12v side of things in the CUCV, leaving the resistor in place for
cosmetic reasons. I switched over to AC60G's and a manual pushbutton to
activate them because from what I've learned the AC60's are better
resistance balanced to keep from swelling. The plugs took a little
modification to fit (needed to grind the tab down a little bit to fit in the
stock wiring).
