Ok It was just a friendly FYI. I’m always listening to the engine, etc. for any abnormal sounds. Flying helicopters for almost 30 years will do that to you.

The screwdriver made a direct connection between the large lugs. The coil could have been completely gone and the screwdriver method would have worked. Coil would not energize for whatever reason. Screwdriver simply bypassed it

If you don’t already have one, get a good digital multimeter. You will use it often.

All the time spent reading posted info and old threads paid off. Having another SS member to double check my thinking was a big help also. Agree that no part is infallible. They can and will fail at some point.

All original, with very few exceptions! The DH modification being one of them. The other is when I installed RPM, Water temp, trans temp and oil pressure gauges.

Exactly Very thankful for that!!

Plunger was fine. Coil gave up. Will measure it tomorrow. Curious myself.

I hope you don’t drive listening to music with the earbuds in. Illegal and VERY big ticket. Can’t hear emergency vehicles with those in is the reason. Just FYI in case you didn’t know.

Don’t forget marker lights when you finish your camper. Being seen at night is always a plus. Have you already checked your brakes (system) and wheel bearings/seals? Most need attention after auction. Those are great trailers. Your gonna love it!

Snap-on makes a socket specifically for that injector. Works perfect. Whichever injector socket you use, leave the thread protectors on the injectors until your ready to hook the lines up. That will prevent any leakage issues later if you accidentally nick one.

Last October I replaced my ignition switch after some troubleshooting. That switch is so fun to change. I first thought it was the DH relay. It was not. Yesterday I was doing coyote patrol on the ranch and had stopped and started engine several times with long breaks in between. No big deal...

Might try your local alternator/starter rebuild shop. They usually have those. If not, they should be able to point you in right direction. Your best bet is probably the junkyard. Grab one or two and be done with it.

Just used my tire plug kit. I haven’t taken a tire in to get a flat fixed in years. Never do a road trip without it. Those kits are wonderful! Someday I’ll get new trailer tires.

The Rain-X antifog works. There are also a few aviation products that work even better. Can’t remember them all. Prist aviation window cleaner spray also has the anti fog additives and it’s what I use. Expensive but well worth it. Luckily I don’t have to pay for it.

Fixed a flat and greased the spring bushings on my tan M101A2 Dang roofing nails....

Delphi and Bosch make them and are top quality replacements. Bosch is what the trucks originally came with from factory. Check ebay for Diesel 6.2L injectors. Lots will come up but stay with the two brands mentioned. It’s still an active auction so I can’t post listing link. Stay away...

Some food for thought.

I bought the bolt at my local Fastenal store.

Just the shear forces alone would break something. No way that worked properly. Maybe the reason for the long absence.

GM still has them. You can also get them (GM) on Amazon. Several members here will have extras I bet.
