Appreciate the customer service. My relay doesn’t have any sharpie on the top of the post. I guess that’s why I was stumped. Got it installed tonight in the dark and snow. Have to wire up my switch and try it out.

Has anyone done a write up on removing the stock GP controller and associated wiring? I’m going to leave mine alone until the weather gets nicer but I’m looking forward to simplifying things.
Ill do some digging but I should have some obs and brick engine harnesses laying around that I can use to demo stripping down.

Anyone got a source or link for a topside creeper? I've seen a couple of home made ones in the past. I don't even know what they'd be called. & yes "Old Man Age" ain't nice, he's mean!

And now I also wish I'd not jumped & ordered my 2 set of EBay 6.0 harnesses! They're still in the box. I may still order some from you Wes soon as my world settles down & I get my shop built this spring.

& thanks Wes for all you do! I read & follow this thread & others when I can get time....learn lots!!

Happy to help keep the old iron on the road!

Really happy with the relay and wiring. The connections are so much better than what I had. The driver side wiring is somewhat longer than what I need but I haven’t cleaned it up and zip tied everything yet.

Looks great! Glad you’re happy with the setup, I try to make the leads on the long side to work with various setups, in the vans the driver’s side needs more length than in the f-series. Have you gotten a cold start out of it yet?

I did but just barely. Got it started and let it run of half hour. Sat for an hour and wouldn’t restart. Had a leaking cap on one injector and a leak at the tee where the driver side injectors tie into the return lines.

Started to pull the wiring harness apart to remove the unused wires running to the GP controller. Things will be so much cleaner with your setup. Only wish I could find a timer type switch instead of a push button so that I wouldn’t have to teach my wife how to use the button.
