Is there enough room for the large cables to connect to the side mounts, especially the drivers side? There isn't a lot of room between the battery and radiator on that side, I only did the bolt mod on the passenger side battery...

Thanks, I will look into getting new cables for the winter, I didn't realize they made that much of a difference... I know when I replaced the originals with 4 gauge, there was a noticeable improvement.

Thanks for the info on the starter, I'll have to check the front bracket, don't remember if I hooked it up or not. Winter starts take a while if it is left out for any length of time... if I can, on real cold days, I make sure to start it every couple hours... I keep the block heater plugged in...

All the cables are 4 gauge, good condition... maybe about 3 years old... Do I need to look at replacing all the wiring in the truck, or just the heavy duty wires? What do I look for on the starter..?, it's a rebuilt from Advance Auto... replaced about the same time as the cables. Thanks

Thanks, here's what I've got so far... There is no Inhibit Switch mounted on the top of the head, only a delete plate where it should be, unless it is mounted elsewhere..? The connector on the controller has 4 wires to the 4 pins, BCD and E. Pin C, I thought, was for the inhibit switch, I...

Thanks, don't have any pics yet, can I just use yours? Mine is almost identical to your photo: white, 4 doors, but with a lot of rust...

Hi All, I replaced the Glow Plug Controller about 8 months ago with an AC Delco that I bought on ebay... The truck ran fine with no problems till last week. Glow plug light does not come on any more. I turn the key, no glow plug light... only the momentary: water in fuel light, which is...

Thanks Brooklyn Tow, It's still good to see 9/11 Never Forget... A good reminder of what was lost...

Hi Everyone, I'm from Elgin, Il about an hour west of Chicago.. I've got a 1988 Chevy crew cab with the 6.2 diesel, the body is rusting away, but the engine and trans just keep on going...
