Final note: Gunny (yeah, I named him) started right up this morning. Fan clutch working as it should after replacing it. WTS light was on for literally only half a second and the engine started after 8-10 seconds of cranking. After sitting a few weeks, I suspect fuel was dropping down and...

Fuel lines haven't been changed or damaged. Fuel filter is due for a change. I suspect lost prime in the IP - how do I know for sure? And how do I regain it? Does that happen after sitting for a few weeks?

Agree with everything you said, Kurt. I see so many folks that are advised to replace the EESS under specific indicators of failure, and I'm not experiencing any of them. The WTS light hasn't changed in the 2 yrs I've been driving it; the GPs are dead, but I'm well above the target temp...

I agree, it should be. So why won't it start? I'm in the process of making a grounding harness, mostly because it'll make me feel more comfortable, jut not sure if it's a contributing factor. I know this sounds stupid, but aside from controlling current to the GPs and housing the solenoid...

Yes, found the IP power issue (operator error), but won't start now. I'm finding dead GPs, so starting there.

Thanks for the tip. Fortunately, i found the problem. When I reinstalled the alternator, I might have missed the ground cable... Funny how I now have power. And fuel. Focusing on the EESS box now. No visible damage, but no way to test it without the STE/ICE, unless someone knows a way. GPs...

Good news, I now have power to the IP. Don't ask. Now it just won't start. Aren't there resistance tests I can do on the box? I opened it up and there is no sign of obvious burnt components, so I'm hoping it's still good.

Feeling pretty stupid today, but I'll swallow my pride and beg for help! Enlisted a friend's help to jump my M998A0, and he got the cables switched for a short time. No telling what damage was done, but I know for sure I am not getting power to the IP. Glow plug light cycles, starter works...
