Wow.
Ordered a bearing and seal kit from National Drivetain yesterday and UPS just showed up with it. That was fast!
It looks like ill be playing with my tc this weekend.
and I would tighten up those connectors on your glow plugs and make shure All of them are getting voltage. If they are loose and one is not makeing contact or one not getting voltage, It will burn em up.
you can get away with not replacing the diode and it will work, "for a while" that diode keeps a few thousand volts from back feeding into your circuit, just go to rat shack and get a rectifier diode I dont recomend a zener for this application they will work but are not as well suited for this...
The one you showed that burnt is a diode. It is used to counter inductive kick from the gp relay when the magnetic field collaspes. This causes an induced voltage up into the thousands of volts to back feed in the circuit. This is the same effect an ignition coil uses to produce its high voltage...
personally if it was me and I had them out I would rpl clutch and throw out bearing and have the plate surfaced. Much more simple to do with them out on the ground than to have to pull the trans latter. Especially if you plan on keeping the truck for a long time. 2cents
Pull the alt and have it tested to verify it works at all. Just make shure you tell them they have to hook up the ground wire up to the ground post on the alt and not just to the case. Most part stores will test them for free.
