    Glow plugs are ******* me off

    Lol, reminds me of cold starts in Alaska growing up w/ dad’s old 85 6.9 Truck could buck like hell as 2 cylinders start to fire,,, then it’d slowly smooth out as the rest would eventually start to hit, or would stall out after 5-10 seconds. Some of those cold starts were a violent event!!

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Towed our 32’ Gulf Stream (around 7k lbs). The old girl was steady and sure footed. Definitely didn’t break any acceleration records though, lol. Temps stayed around 190-200. Have an old wood grain edition Tekonsha that’s plumbed into the brake line which did great, have 3.54’s but the truck...

    Napa warranty from noncorporate stores?

    I work for a local jobber, a good store will honor warranties. NAPA gets a reimbursement from the manufacturer on defects. They also have the latitude to to say no if fraud is suspected.

    Power window stuck down!

    NAPA has them in stock, drivers side motor only is part #6551507. The regulator with the motor is part#WLA2003. Same motor- assembly is used from 80-96. You can also buy a rebuild kit for them in Rayloc. Hope this helps
