Best Radiator Hoses
Hey there, What are the best radiator hoses to use: the reinforced ones with a coiled wire insert. I saw on the posts that there was discussion about the lower radiator hose collapsing under higher revving and figure that might be why my truck can run all day with normal temps until I start...- Outlandyr

is this a good deal?
Buy it! I would have if it had been posted last July when I was in Washington and blew the head gaskets on my E350. The engine is worth it so long as the coolant isn't all rusted up.- Outlandyr

It... LIVES!!!!!! Sometimes, it's just that simple. There is a fuse on the wire about 12" from the glow plug relay that is 20a. It's in the top left of the picture with the relay in the bottom right. So, I'll order a new controller. Accurate Diesel has one that looks good. Any opinions? I'll...- Outlandyr

Okay, a little light, a balky voltmeter, and 2 pulled Beru plugs later. 0 Ohms resistance, the plugs had a small amount of soot, but no significant wear. The FSS does not click when unplugged and plugged back in, and there is no fuel smell or evidence of raw fuel exhaust at the tail pipe. So...- Outlandyr

Just cranking with no firing at all. With the glow plug light not coming on, I don't think it is a fuel issue, but I will check once I can pry her away from working on college financial paperwork with one of our boys. As a related question, to convert to manual relay: where should I tie in the...- Outlandyr

There is good spark between the posts and very hot. I held for about 4-6 seconds and no start after jumping the terminals. I'll have to test the glow plugs in the morning for resistance. I take it that higher resistance equates to a bad plug.- Outlandyr

I take it that is jumping from the battery terminal to the glow plug terminal: the 2 large terminals?- Outlandyr

Thanks, but it cranks just fine, it just won't start. And, as stated, the glow plug light doesn't come on, unless I go direct from the + battery to where the purple controller lead connects to the glow plug relay.- Outlandyr

How do, I have a 1986 F250 XL with a 6.9 IDI and I changed the flasher, oil/filter, fuel filter and air filter today. Unfortunately, I think I screwed myself because I left the ignition key on after checking the flashers. Once I finished the maintenance service, I tried to start the beast and...- Outlandyr
