    She eats glow plugs

    I appreciate all the responses. We are manually holding the button 10-15 seconds like my daughters '94 Factory ATS Turbo 7.3. What this modified '85 does NOT have is the GPR resistor on it. My '83 has it, I think my '85 had it but it was totaled and parted out in '06. Plan is to replace the GP...

    She eats glow plugs

    I may have posted here but can't find it. I did post on another site. Friends truck, 1985 6.9 IDI with '92-'97 front clip. Truck consumed a couple sets of glow plugs.

    Glow plug problems

    Will T19 Transfer case bolt to ZF5? (84' Auto to 5-speed conversion.)

    I am not sure about the T-case but I did install a a ZF5 from a '93 7.3 IDI into my '83 6.9 IDI truck. Both donor and recipient are 2 wheel drive. Same drive shaft I think??? I used a Clutch/pressure plate kit for a 7.3 and the flywheel was .600 thinner than the DMF and the hydraulic clutch rod...

    Luk or South Bend?

    Never used Southbend or Luk and I understand they are both good, I have used Valair exclusively on both IDI and Powerstrokes

    Proper timing equipment?

    I had the Ferret and used it with a adjustable timing light with several repeat successful uses. However, I made the mistake of lending it to someone.
