Hey guys, Mike here.
I just got on to this web sight last week after looking to see how tuff it would be to change glow plugs.
After finding some good info here, I dug in and did it last sunday.
No problems, 7 f 8 where bad, tested new ones going in, all above .6 ohms.
BTW it about 12 degrees in the morning here in Milwaukee.
I fly alot so I wanted to make sure everything was up to par so I would not be stranded in the airport some late night ,and the truck was starting hard!
Put in the glow plugs, went out the next morning and it still took about a minute of hard cranking before I finally got a Pop out of it.
Also had to have the throttle to the floor. If I lifted, it would kill.
Had power across the relay, figured maybe I wasnt getting the amperage across it from bad inner contacts, so I changed that last night.
This morning, 10 Degrees, had to crank for a minute or two before it would light. again throttle floored.
So, new GP's and Relay, and it still starts hard. Any Ideas? It did start with no out side help, but I remember this thing starting a lot easier then it is.
Batteries are good, all fuses must be ok, as it will start, just takes to long, as though the GP's are not working.
(Also new fuel filter)
Thanks
Mike
