    Help with glow plugs

    i just found my hard start problem recently, two broken in half gp's. replaced as many as i could so far and did a test start today, truck is back to strating normally and gpc is working correctly again. also the gpc is probably mounted in the back of the engine under a black plastic cover

    i think this bag might have olives in it do they look like small pieces of tube? and any tricks or tips on geting the gp's out without getting stuck?

    Watch those block heater cords!

    haha! my cord just failed, rubbed on something underneath. no explosions though, just happened on one of the coldest days so far. super fun crawling under the truck at 20*f.

    does anyone run a gallons per hour gauge?

    hmmm, i saw 1 for a gas chevy truck in a gauge cluster, but it looked kind of crappy. it only had 5 gallon increments. i think a digital gauge would be nice. i think it would be good to know how much diesel u burn/use if you're out camping or need to idle the truck for long periods of time.

    does anyone run a gallons per hour gauge?

    if yes, where did you get it? i did a little searching and only found REALLY expensive boat stuff, like $500 to $1200 expensive.

    Let down by the blue oval...

    my block heater cord got nicked and quit working the other day, of course it was 8*F out. i don't think the truck let you down, just some added on parts

    nice! my dad had one of those, said the body just rusted away, still ran fine though. probably didn't help that we lived on cape cod either.
