Diesel guys especially CUCV

ok while fooling around with the CUCV I found the following things.. that ground I guess I should just ground off? and what the heck is that part in the other picture

Finally got the CUCV to start and run using the doghead starter relay mod... She drove well.. She's at my friends shop getting the once over on the front end and fluids changed ( there's a lift there so its a lot easier) but while monkeying around I found those issues..

Re: Diesel guys especially CUCV

The part you are unsure of is the glow plug inhibit switch. Once the coolant in the head is up to a set temp. the glow plugs will not come on when starting hot. Saves on your batteries and extends the life of the plugs.

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
