    wiring issues..... again

    Well if the glow plugs were powered for that long be ready to pull heads off if the plugs dont come out. I have a good feeling they are shot, swelled and exploded. As for wiring like CUCV said.... cant help you. Your better off spending the cash and putting the system back to factory. Also...

    M1028 Cold Start - Is there a factory block heater on this truck?

    I installed a 600W freeze plug heater. I have it on a timer so when I know I will be using the truck I set it to turn on for a hour before I need to start her. Works perfect and no need to keep it turned on all night. Its just a waste of electricity. It only needs really about 30 min and the...

    Gen 1 & Gen 2 gauges, instead of lights???

    I don't know if you really could. Power needs to flow in both directions through the light bulbs. It really is part of the charging system and not just a dummy light. Just add s 12v gauge next to the stock one. That is what i did.

    Issues with my New Truck.

    Yeah 100% wrong. There is no valve in the pump like that. What you are describing is a accelerator pump that is inside of the carburetor. A diesel engine does not have a carburetor or an accelerator pump.

    Issues with my New Truck.

    Have you inspected your glow plugs? Are some burnt out? Are the batteries in good shape? I would start there and also replace the Glow plug temp sender on the rear of the drive side head.

    Cab Back Insulation

    The peal and stick stuff works great!! I did the floor of my HSM1008 and what a difference. I would install a under hood pad also!! That cut the inside noise by half at least! Seeing how flat the back of the cab is I would just use some spray glue and bulk auto carpet to go over the foil...

    headlight issue

    This is what I did to fi my headlight issue. I cut the diodes out of the horn circuit and took apart the fuse block and cut the power wire and feed wires for the headlights. Then put In a 30 amp breaker. No problems anymore. Took about 10 min start to finish.
