Here is the relay

If the things you are looking at bring you near Ashland I would love to get together and pay you to time my truck
I guess that can be good news. It sounds like since it's hard to start I need to advance the time in a little bit more. As for the glow plugs. I don't have the relay module hooked up at all. I'm running off of a switch. As for the marks on the injection pump, it's a moose pump. And I can't seem to see any lines on the pump at all. You can see the center line on the casting, and that's what I am trying to line up with the mark on the cam gear housing thing.No, retarded timing won't. I think that makes it harder to start. Will also run hotter.
I forgot, are you running the stock controller? Or a switch?
And how do the timing marks on the pump look? Though they may not mean much, you may try lining them up. Only real way will be a meter.

I've confirmed with my 12v tester. I was burning up my glow plugs long before I burned up my motor. And the fact that I'm now burning them glow plugs still, makes me believe that I brought the problem with me. When I first burned up the glow plugs I switched over to a manual controlled switch. I followed instructions, on a thread. Those instructions still incorporated the globe plug module, now however, I completely bypass that module and just have that relay running the glow plugs.Have you confirmed with a test-light that the glow plugs are not powered all the time that the key is on?
Hey I already did once. When I picked up the bumper a few years back. You need it done again? Just harassing, I check mine around every 10,000 if I have time.
That's a good idea. I should have done something like already. I would at least be able to see a light while I'm holding the glow plug trigger down. The relay is newish, ( replaced it when I was having the glow plug issues) but it's an off the shelf O'Reilly unit.I read about a 6.9 glow plug conversion that fried multiple sets of glow plugs because of a bad solenoid. I would be suspicious of the solenoid sticking on and frying them. Did you ever see a car or truck keep cranking over even after you've released the key? A temporary light in the cab, wired off the high amp "glow plug side" of the solenoid would tell you what the solenoid's doing once it's running.
I definitely remember that. I was afraid that I was off timing somehow. When I originally pulled injection pump off this rebuilt 6.9 L I had to pull the entire housing with it because it was different than my 7.3 housing. So I may have had the timing off by entire tooth. Which would have explained why it was so difficult to get the truck to start. But I am very certain now that the injection pump gear and the cam gear are lined up correctly. As far as where I have the injection pump it's self-timed I have it probably 1/16 of an inch towards the passenger side which would be as far as I know advanced but just a smidgen. That is to say that I put the injection pump as Center as I could and then moved it as sixteenths of an inch toward the passenger side. But I also think that if it was too advanced I wouldn't get so much smoke. While I get a lot of smoke while it's warming up I still get it some smoke while I'm just idling after the truck is warmed up.If you go back, I'm fairly certain I said timing too far advanced will burn them up......
