So after reading as much as I could find here and fighting with a search engine that leads to frustration I am just going to post this. It seems after getting all kinds of answers or no answers here is what it comes down to.
1) I can't establish if the newer Delphi HDC905 or the Diesel RX GP Controller that thread into rear of block are truely solid state devices or they just claim to be an improved design.
2) Many members here suggest just wiring in a manual switch and calling it a party. I am in instrumentation and controls tech I like like things automated and pushing an extra button to start the truck is going backwards, especially if someone else wants to use my truck.
3) It seems to me in reading, that the newer bullet style glow plugs are self protected by resistance and cannot be overheated so there is never a melting issue.
4) There are references to this IH p/n as a complete kit to retrofit to the bullet style GP's p/n 1809443C96, is this kit still available, if so, how much and is it the way to go?
5) Is there a paint by numbers wiring schematic or comprehensive write up on the site here to convert to solid state? If there is I haven't been able to find it.
6) If I do convert to solid state should I sell the Beru spade connector GP's I already bought and go with the resistance protected bullet style. I have read some guys going solid state and then leaving the spade style connectors and in place. I am confused about the 6 and 12 volt issue of the plugs, when you see the specs side by side they are almost identical in resistance value. So perhaps this whole resistance limiting self sensing I hear is not true.
7) I would like to get this sorted this week and get a plan in place to fix this once and be done with it.
8) Thanks in advance for your help and if you find a 10.5 Sterling Trac Loc in your closet you don't need drop me a line.
