    Removing the oil pressure sensor

    There is a special socket made for that. other wise grab it by the metal part and twist. They are hard to hurt if you stay off the plastic, if not they don't cost much

    Dana 60 hole drilled in housing?

    That's what it means. When I worked for Forestry saw a few like that most came from Air force. No Batteries, holes drilled in everything, power steering hose cut, belts removed. Looked like some trucks were intentionaly damaged.

    M880 part time conversion question

    Haven't drove my 885 much in the last few years but it was my main transport for 20 years. Got it with 12 miles on it, it has 137000. It got 10mpg loaded empty, or pulling a 24ft trailer. Never had any problems with 4wd, drive shafts, or front ends. I personally wouldn't change a thing.

    Glow plug relay ?

    Ok truck sat out all night, mid 30s. Changed feed wire to terminal block, got 10.8 volts on output of soleniod. Took 4 heats about 45 sec each before it would start. Changed wire back to resister let truck set 2 hours. It was back to normal about 15 sec. Control card was cleaned last...

    Glow plug relay ?

    I was wondering if that terminal you used would carry the load, along with everything else. If it works for you that sounds good. I will try that.
