The card will see this high voltage and try to save the other glow plugs by only energizing them for a...

    M1009 front springs....too saggy?

    They look like every other blazer front spring I have seen. You replace the steering stabilizer? Inspected all the tie rods and ball joints? Inspected/ tested shocks? Serviced the wheel bearings? Lots of things will make it act funny on the road besides lazy springs.

    m1028 shifting fast with 37oz

    Sounds like you need to get a new transmission modular or tps on the injection pump. Also check all the vacuum lines. Sounds like signal is lost to the modulator or something took a dump.
