Good to hear👍

I think the boys got a little off topic, definitely some great information there but the short answer to your question is yes. I smoked all 8 at once. Someone mentioned below that TIME is one of the big factors. If they stay on too long, poof! They are gone. I don’t think anyone can say for...

The BOX issues just keep coming huh CAMO? Again can’t thank you enough for your help with my box. In my opinion, this was a no brainer, my box was cooked already so why not give it a try for $125 instead of opting for a new one at $1100+. Worst case scenario it still doesn’t work, best case...

It actually does make sense, all the EUC is a certificate saying you won’t turn around and sell it to terrorists. It has nothing to do with the transfer of legal ownership (usually a title), in this case a SF97. i know there is probably a background check of some sort during EUC process but it’s...

My truck came in November 2020, and my single biggest piece of advice that will cost you nothing is DUMP the gas tank! Pull the little plug in the bottom of the tank and flush as best you can. I stirred up the sediment in my tank by driving it around and it subsequently got sucked into the fuel...

Ok there ya go, just pulled my box out. Of course mine is riveted shut. Will probably drill it out and see if I can open it anyway, unless you have a better idea? I’ll probably take one of those S3’s and matching TSU off you btw. Any suggestions what to use to clean up that cannon plug?

So you just installed a switch on existing box and used original wiring, very cleaver

Does that mean you did the push button and relay method I’ve read about to control your glow plugs? I was going to bring that up, wanted to get the group’s thoughts on the matter.

Ya I agree, suck it up and get a new one. I’ll remove it tomorrow and snap some photos to be absolutely clear cause I’m still new to the lingo, the “Box” in question is the PCU Pretective control unit? Located under dash on driver side (one canon plug there and another canon plug in engine...

I’ll get back to you on this I’m at work now, I’ll try to check tomorrow and let you know/picture.

Ya I plan to verify it, at least with a meter first. Light bulb could work too

Ok I’ll try the meter thing Despite the cost of the box I’m very glad you seem so sure that it is in fact bad.

UNBELIEVABLE! The glow plugs are fried again. I know exactly when it happened too. A part of the story I failed to mention that is significant now. After I replaced the initial glow plugs but BEFORE I cleaned the fuel filter the truck started one time, and only once. I turned it off after only a...

First couple answers: This is a govplanet purchase I received in December Last time it ran was about 4 weeks ago I’m told Diesel engines don’t need glow plugs except in cold weather, which makes sense because it wasn’t that cold here at first when I was starting it. the whining sound at low...

Great info here, I appreciate the insight on the injection pump. My batteries are actually brand new military Deka batteries (who is the OEM supplier I’ve come to find out) they have a 2/21 manufactured date on them. The glow plugs are also brand new. If it is a controller that I need to replace...
