headlight questions
No. The hid high/low only has one bulb. When turned to high beam the bulb is just moved to a different angle. You would probably ruin them if you tried.- Crumm

Psd glow plug service life
Stick with Motorcraft plugs and be sure the plugs say Beru on them. Other brands have been known to swell and break off when you try to remove them.- Crumm

FOR ALL YOU GELLED UP PEOPLE
It is ULSD Nothing real special. Run #1 and a winter front(grill cover). I think about the coldest I have had Crummy in is -65 and it ran fine. Coldest I have ran a Cat engine is -72 and it ran fine but sounded bad. Block heaters and oil pan heaters are a must before you fire them off though...- Crumm

Yep straight #1. All that is available at most pumps is #1. In a few locations you can get -20 blended. The -20 is like 70% #1 and 30% #2. At times it wont come out of the pump. 50/50 would not come out of the pump all winter.- Crumm

Don't know that they list one but when I am chained up in the big truck I try and keep it under 50mph or the chains start melting into the tires. I have ran them at 60-70mph when getting a run at a hill but sustained high speeds will tear the heck out of the tires. I have never ran them down the...- Crumm

Dang, I don't know for once... Hard start
Outside pins are the Glow Plugs. Get a piece of fuel tubing that will fit over the Glow Plug tight and use it to unscrew - remove and install them. Will take a deep socket to break them loose and tighten them but the socket will bind if you try and unscrew them all the way with it. If you...- Crumm

Powerstroke waste gate
If you do unplug it you might want to install a Exhaust Backpressure Sensor Code Eliminator. This will keep the check engine light off. Also available on ebay.- Crumm
