    6.2 Glow Plug Controller

    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...

    6.2 Glow Plug Controller

    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.

    6.2 Glow Plug Controller

    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...
