Replaced the cold start switch.
Note this is easily accessible on the right side rear cylinder head. I loosened the transmission dip stick mount in order to have full access with a box end wrench.

Additionsl info, following troubleshooting TM the box and glow plugs are working. The cold advance thermostatic switch is faulty. I’ve ordered a replacement so the cold advance IP solenoid can function.

It appears to be working. I understand the green label KDS box has a timer and will not re-warm plugs after the initial shot until the timer expires

I’ll be moving the genset about 30’ from the house which should mitigate the noise level and dissipate exhaust a tad more.

I’ve been having increasingly hard starting while cold. Recently replaced all glow plugs with Wellman improved model and that helped greatly.
Of course, running HMMWV today in the snowy weather I now have a single blink error code but the truck starts and the plugs cycle.
After two more warm...
I’m looking to cut the diesel fumes a bit on the property. Anyone adapted small cat or dpf to the npt exhaust output?
