Thanks, I was just going to ask that question just because of the difference between the wire gauge..the orange wire looks about 12gauge and the pigtail about 14 or 16gauge.

Thanks..some of the wiring is hacked up…and don’t have the heat shields.. I get the hookup for the right and left side but was wondering about the wire that hooks up to the power from the ignition and triggers the glow plug heat cycle and what color, because the existing plastic wire loom cover...

Sorry forgot to size pics

Thank you to everyone for help, tips, and feedback…the engine does run…what a relief! Now start to get it roadworthy. But I do have a question or more in need of advice. When I started the engine I could only plug 6 glow plugs in so there was a little rough start and a lot of white smoke out the...

Sorry for double copy….accidentally

Good morning and thanks. When I replaced the seal that houses the linkage for stepper motor I tried moving it by finger pressure and it didn’t move (before attaching stepper motor) so I took it back off and it moved freely but when I reattached it was too hard to move… so I wasn’t sure if it was...

Happy New Year to all….update reinstalled IP , fuel lines, lower intake and cranked it up and it appears to be leaking more…can’t really see exactly where so pulled it back out again and it looks like the new key shaped seal is holding, but looks like the linkage that the stepper motor attaches...

Merry Christmas to all!!!

Canadian whiskey I hear is the best…closest I came to Canada was Gran Marais Minnesota I lived in Duluth Minnesota for a few years in the middle 80’s

Yeah liquor makes me blackout after 2 or 3 …but beer makes me a jolly good fellow and in heaven there is no beer….my wife has afib and stopped drinking and weed…Merry Christmas

Thank you and Happy Holidays!! Too All

I’ll try that…celebrated with a little too much beer last night, still waking up…I probably won’t know the result until it’s on and pressurized…Thanks for helping

I must have forgot to push send

Sorry, what does that button look like?

Okay I went out and took pics …cuz I’m sure people are wondering what the heck is he talking about…I’m sure it’s a one in 300,000,000 million chance this would happen (I better play mega millions) …I will post pics but don’t know what order they will download, pic 1 should show two mating parts...

I’ll get a picture in the morning…I was able to finally get the tab or tang out of the screw hole so the Heli coil stayed in .. I tried picking it out and finally took a thin straight blade screw driver and smacked it screw driver and it came loose, that’s when I seen it was a heli coil…so I was...

Update…alright I purchased Leroy Diesel swollen glow plug removal tool and it worked flawlessly, I wasted some time trying other methods and no way would any other suggestion would have worked..and yes they were 11G …so I finally got fuel to all the injectors ( almost gave up until I reread some...

Hit a little snag today, yesterday woke up and 10 degree wind chill and snowing so didn’t work on the truck….today bolted and torqued the lower intake down and removed 6 glow plugs but the other 2 are swelled up on the passenger side.. I forgot that I had left that side plugged in so then I put...

I will put the solenoid back together..it was working and if it doesn’t work I’ll get new one along with a Pmd the 2 I have one has a resistor and one doesn’t and heat sink bolted to upper intake …I miss printed I only have the lower intake with 4 bolts attached waiting on fuel to the injectors...

Thanks that eases my mind knowing it takes a lot of cranking…and thanks for warning about runaway, the engine is pretty stripped down with upper intake 4 bolts holding it and a 2x12 x12” ready in case…once it gets fuel I will start adding parts if I hear it run starting with harmonic balancer.
