    Shutting off without any notice

    Maybe you could find/make a pigtail connection for two PMD connections to wye into one. Then use the old one (which hopefully works) mounted on the IP as a backup. Would one interfere with the other? Would you need to isolate them with a switch?

    Shutting off without any notice

    What you're suggesting isn't going to happen on a 10 year old vehicle, unless you mastermind the thing yourself. Most folks are doing just what you suggested by having a spare PMD in the glovebox! If you have an external location, and you can unplug and replace in 30 seconds longer then it...

    Bosch glow plugs

    You may need to clean the threads for the GP's. There is a tap (I bought one from one of the guys here) to dress those threads. I would not force the GP in any way. If it won't start by turning by hand you need to address the problem or you will have bigger problems. If your socket causes...

    best glowplugs for a 6.9 IDI with manual control

    The GP controller, if I remember correctly, is located in the block back by the firewall. It cost nearly $200 to replace. If you attempt to remove it and it breaks off you'll have a difficult time finishing the removal, and have a water leak to boost. Just leave it. Install the manual switch...

    Got a new quad

    If it actually has only 30 hours on it, I wouldn't care if it was an '01 or an '04. In Kansas we're suppose to register ATV's so we can pay the state property tax. So the older the less tax, yet it's a good running machine. Best of both worlds.

    best glowplugs for a 6.9 IDI with manual control

    I've got an '84 and it has the spade GP's and it's 12 volts, stock. I would only use BERU GP's. IIRC there is a helpful forum: FTE forum. You'll find alot of good info. including the wire diagram.

    I saw a rare one today....

    Occasional rod knock?

    The reason I mentioned injectors is because the truck I have was diagnosed by a mechanic as having a cracked flex plate. I eventually replace the injectors and noise went away. Mech. said PO brought truck to his shop complaining of noise up until about 1500 RPM, then they didn't notice it. He...

    Occasional rod knock?

    I haven't read all 8 pages, so maybe I'm way late to the party. Have you replaced or had your injectors checked?

    gauges flicker with turning signal....

    Owning this truck is like having a child. Something different every day! On a different post I mentioned my fuel gauge problem is solved. FSU & gauge both bad. So now I'm working on this wrinkle. I'm thinking maybe clean the grounds (to be sure) on the pass. side near firewall on...

    gauges flicker with turning signal....

    I notice the needle movement on the volt meter, when the turn signal is on the meter dips. Is this a typical symptom of mid 90's vehicles or is it caused by bad grounds?

    Tranny Fluid Change

    Matt, on another post on this BB someone mentioned "Bio-con" as a highly recommended algae fixer. If you do a google search of that product perhaps they make one for your situation.

    fuel gauge needle hits the oil needle

    Matt, I measured it before installing but it's written down on a tablet out in the shop. I am pretty sure it was 12-92 ohms.

    fuel gauge needle hits the oil needle

    I was going to remove the bed to replace the fuel sending unit. Upon seeing the position of the bolts and the lack of room for wrenches I opted for dropping the tank. FSU reads from o-172 ohms with no consistency and many open spots. The shaft that holds the rotating arm of the float has...

    Tranny Fluid Change

    Not harm meant. I was just making sure no one was asleep at the switch. In Canada do you have constant concern with algae growing in your fuel tank? "x /year treatments of biocide to keep my tanks all spanky" I have used fuel well over 10 years old. I started a crawler once by pulling it...

    Tranny Fluid Change

    This is a rather broad statement. If it's true then we don't need to add oil to diesel to compensate for low sulfur?

    SCANGAUGE 2 / XGAUGE Users

    Can you list links to the other sites? I'd like to check out what they've discovered also.

    SCANGAUGE 2 / XGAUGE Users

    I think you can go to their web site and download what ever is available. You can also print out directions. I use it on my 01 dodge, but it does not read fuel pressure for the cummins (as far as I know). My chevy is '95 is it does not apply to it.
