It's always good to have feedback and all...My Kubota tractor has a manual glow. I have cycled the glowplugs after start and can't tell any difference. But it hasn't been cold weather.
The after glow programming may have been to reduce burnt fuel or emissions control or just to smooth out a real cold start. Getting a double stack with the ON time is chance to waste a plug or two or eight. I have watch a ton of videos. Some operator wait it out and some ???? Protective control box. What are they protecting?
Plugs are kinda like light bulbs... On and off and on and POOF. Sure, over time one plug is going to bite the dust. Having a computer go wonkie and blow them all... NOT again for this guy. Question... does one really think smart boxes have EMP proof designs? I have 100's of pounds of smart circuits boards and the parts are not military harden grade. Sooo are you ready for Putin. Just saying, LOL
Dealing with a single sourced, proprietary items can be a headache. Failures are not smart, but costly. Hobby down time and frustrating to trouble shoot too.
Our controller may not be the one for some. It is a choice to manage the "glow and go" cycle with the understanding of the goings on and to be able to service with over the counter parts, almost anywhere as in Auto Zone.
Added feature provides a level of start security. Not saying boogie man proof, but with all HMMWV's there is a driving, operator learning curve.

So, got to cut it short and get back to work. Will be up loading an informative video and other products soon.
The choice is your's, CAMO
