Like I said, its what I mean and not what I say. LOL
Bottom line is the wires are white and not the rubberized black wires.
Currently this original poster is asking about a white wire and I was trying to point out that there are some oddball wires in our trucks that are not...
This thing we tie our Tachometers into. A more specific term might be dood-dad or thingy.
It’s not the terms I actually write, it’s what I actually mean.
You need to go underneath the left side of the dashboard and take a picture of the box. That picture will also have a picture of the label. Above your left foot as you were sitting in the truck and behind the dashboard there is a 4 1/2“ x 10“ box that is upside down. That has a label on it. Take...
I have had great success with similar issues by ripping a straight valley across the top with a Dremmel and using a large screwdriver to twist in that valley like it is the top of a regular flathead screw. You can also use a hammer on the screwdriver if you place it eccentrically to force the...
If you have a 200 amp alternator, there is a bypass so that electricity goes around the smart box/protective control box. That means you should be able to charge whether or not the box is good.

Until you have a good starter box, do not hook up the glow plugs. You will only blow them out again. If you replace them, which you should, do not make the electrical connections. Not until you have a new control box
Super easy to straighten without a torch or heat. Just mount to the truck or a bench top vice and use a large adjustable crescent wrench with a three foot extension on the handle to bend back to stock.
Or return, BUT a you have these in your house and they are repairable. Obviously the seller...
Buy what you want, but don’t try to turn a pigs ear into a silk purse.
It is like you bought a 1969 Chevy Chevelle and you are looking to turn it into a Pontiac GTO because both are GM products using the same frame.
