    Thanks Will L.! When I remove the old hose how much pressure is involved. When I install a new hose- wouldn't that add air in the system?

    Back again Fellows: I changed out the glow plug relay .... I now get the correct battery readings in and out which are the same. They read 12.80 Volts in and out. Boy! Does it start fast! Also bought a 4 amp battery charger/maintainer for the (two) 12 volt starting batteries. They are...

    dbrannon79: You're right about the power master brand gear reduction starter. I have one on my Ford 408 stroker that dyno-ed at 514 hp...works great. WarWagon: I've written to Standard Motor Products about my glow plug controller- waiting to hear back. Big T: We still don’t have a video...

    Thanks again guys for writing back! Will L + dbrannon79: I don't want to get too heavy into what changes you both wrote about at this time. WarWagon: I checked the OBD2 port and found no codes and if there is an electrical problem it should show a code....and there is a code for that...

    Sorry Big T: As I've said many times this web page is not working correctly and it sometimes posts a reply twice and this time it didn't save the post I wrote back to you. And there is a problem logging in and logging out most times. It's a wonder I get anything posted! And I can't find a...

    Guys: I'm wondering why you're asking about the glow plug controller. Does this have something to do with what I wrote on 2/16 (see copy below) that you didn't respond to. Beezer wrote 2-16: Today I started it up and batterys are 12.51 volts. Same thing-took a little more time for the...

    Glagulator: I'm only going by what O'Reilly and Rock Auto lists as the correct controller for my RV that is a GM 6.5 turbo diesel engine. How are you coming up with a three wire ? They say three wire and the four wire will work. To cold and too late in the day......It's 30 degrees. I'll take...

    dbrannon79 and Will L. and anyone else that want to chime in !! Yesterday I removed the last stubborn two glow plugs. See picture of all 4 on passenger side. (see pic 1a.) The two that look sooty and I have marked with red are the last two I took out. All four looked the same before I...

    dbrannon79: Tried your trick for posting a quote on a reply and that works good. No luck with the thumbnail or large photo trick. Tried a lot of ways. I'm sure now it's because we have an old OS- Windows 7-XP. I think you have a more recent OS and have better features. But when I look at...

    Thanks dbrannon79!!! I really appreciate you're taking the time to teach me a new trick. Since it's late...I better try this tomorrow after I print your instructions and try it out for Will L. so he can enlarge a picture on his cell phone. Some companies don't want big picture. Always...

    I post a big picture and the web page must make it a "thumbnail" that you click on and it gets bigger. I only post pictures using my HP big desktop. Still looking for "insert full image" icon??

    Will L.... My pictures are real big and get bigger. I was afraid they were too big. I use a desktop and 17" laptop. Don't see how you post "using “insert- full image not thumbnail". Let me know and I'll post it bigger. I did find out you can't post pictures using the "Quick Reply" I'm still...
