i am using it to trigger the relay on the starter. i did get the pump thanks. trying to figure out a little electrical issues now . i dont have any lights inside. the headlights work and blinkers the pariking brake light and the bright light signal works but nothing else inside. here is a pic of the switch inside.
manuals for the 12ht are available in the diesel section at the top in the stickied threads. Search in that thread for MattF's post. He keeps a huge library of manuals.
Why a relay to run a relay on your starter? Did stock do that?

well i got it running last night sounds good it is pretty quite engine. the throttle pedal is very sensitive if you just touch it will rev up fast i think i am going to add another spring somewhere anyone have any ideas?
I was thinking about what you said earlier, and I wonder if you noticed that the shifter has a plastic cup on the end that fits down inside the shift seat. If you pull the shifter out and there is just a steel ball with no white plastic cup, you need to verify that it didn't fall down into the transmission. Been there done that...and the transmission will eat it in short order.

there is another thread on the forum where a guy put a spring on there. Personally, I would go to an RC hobby shop and get a coil over shock from one of the r/c cars and mount that up. They are sprung, but also oil damped.
I bet you can get a bag of 2 for $20 or so. I actually have a bag of 4, but they don't have the coilovers and the seals are shot now (over 20 years old now).
Tower hobbies.com is also a place that you could order those. Here's a bag of 8 for $60...maybe you sell the rest to guys on here or order a smaller bag. Traxxas Shocks Big Bore T-Maxx (8)
oh wait...here you go. Bingo! Associated Rear Shock Kit RC18T (2)
I didn't wire mine for this function, partially in case I ever want 2L, and mostly because I didn't want to bother at the time. First you need to determine what kind of switch it is by testing it or looking at a schematic. I don't know, but I suspect is has two wires: a 12V in and a 12V out when the switch is closed (when 4L lever is engaged). If this is the case, simply send the 12V out wire to the relay and splice it in where the 12V from the 4H switch goes. That way the relay will be triggered by either the 4H or 4L switch.

I' ve actually read about that complaint in the diesel section too. Some guys are doing a sort of mod to control it. Might want to try a search in there, as I know I've seen multiple topics on it. Might help ya figure a good way to do it.

Better shine a light down in the tranny then...see if you can see that plastic cup. I've had more than one 5spd that dropped that thing down inside when I pulled the shifter out. When they get some wear on them, they fall right off.
Yeah, the turbo chops up the noise a good bit, and the use of a muffler makes it even better. 2.5" is what I ran on mine as well. Let me check and see if I can source that shift cup for you. I think you'll find shifting much more precise with it in there if it's missing now. As far as the top cover, removing that is kind of a pain with the 5th gear, but it's not too bad. Just make sure to put it in neutral and move NOTHING when you take it off. If the shift forks move, you may think you are in neutral, but in reality two gears can be selected at the same time. Getting the shift rails all back in sync takes some fiddling.
yeah i had the same trouble doing my other conversion, i really dont want to do that again. i was going to ask you about a shifter knob? which one did you use on yours?
i drove it for about 50 miles today. i am getting a vibration after 40 mph and gets worse as i accelerate. VTCruiser told me about the driveshafts getting out of phase but i checked them a hooked them up correctly. is it possible that they are not balanced? anyone have any other suggestions?

when you say its gets worse when you accelerate, do you mean it gets worse when under load or it gets worse with speed regardless of load? did you check your u-joints for wear?
