thats the resistor for the glow plugs. are yours hard wired or something on a switch? o crap it looks to be a 12V chop job to me by the pics I hope Im wrong,

well i have a button i push after i turn the key to engage the glow plugs... do the normal trucks come on with key like civi trucks do ...

well a push button is 100% owner installed. Never came like that from the factory. You should be able to remove the resistor. But you need to make sure where and how the glow plugs are getting there power so you don't take out something you should leave alone.

well the risiter is completly not attached to anything other than the firewall.....both wires are detached and hanging there
