Pcb and glow plug controller replacement help

[ANG3CHEAPSHOT]

So I need to replace my pcb and glow plug controller. I’ve seen and read about the different options and looking for everyone’s personal experience and opinion on what to go with for replacement. I’ve got a 2003 M1123

I suggest you search my thread regarding protective control box replacement/bypass where I have schematics on how to bypass the unit for less than $300.

I believe it is post #51

How to bypass PCB? I am aware some HMMWV owners have done it.

good to know, I have fixed my location... Then why is your IP resolving to a different state?

I opened an old Prestolite box today, and it further confirms my suspicions. It contains 3 relays and a circuit board without any integrated circuits. Looks like one relay is for ignition and one is for glow plugs, and one is for general electricals. Reminds me of the story of the brilliance...

Or do it right and install the correct box...key word, correct box.

Which box do you have now? Have you opened it to see what’s damaged inside? I just replaced the MOSFETS in my my KDS S3 box and it cost me $7 for parts vs $1,000 for a new box. If everything works except glow plugs you can build a stand alone glow plug controller with a push button to cycle them for under $50
My personal opinion if you want to get all new stuff get the KDS Smart Start box with matching glow plug controller and Wellman glow plugs.
