Bypassed the resistor(don't plan on ever using the slave) @30 degrees this morning the glow plugs only came on for a few seconds and it fired right up like it was a warm engine. Problem solved and potential future problem eliminated ahead of time. Happy camper here thought I had a fuel problem.
10-4 ! I did not know resistors only work under load but it would explain why the voltage would drop to 6v when glow plugs were on. Just kinda figured they pulled that much load to cause a voltage drop. Thanks Marcus. Much appreciated.
While trying to diagnose a hard start problem I decided to bypass the glow plug resistors. Before doing so I took a voltage reading on it. I found that it only had 12V feeding it from the first battery in series. I believe it should be fed with 24v (correct me if I'm wrong). The wierd thing is...
