    Ujoints

    The driveshaft must be re-assembled the same way it came apart or it will vibrate. I have done this in the past.

    I thought it was Jesus Freak who had the tow truck. I looked at his picture and did not see the truck so I thought I was wrong. Sorry Jesus Freak!

    Zd29s vs Zd9s...for the inquiring mind...

    YOU are correct! It is infinite ohms. Zero ohms is a short circuit or a direct connection.

    Zd29s vs Zd9s...for the inquiring mind...

    What is important is there is continuity and not zero ohms. Zero ohms is an OPEN circuit and that is NOT GOOD!

    Zd29s vs Zd9s...for the inquiring mind...

    If you touch each glow "pin" and connect your ground ( minus connector ) connector you should see about 1 ohm for each glow plug that are good. If you see zero ohms from the pin to the ground, the glow plug is junk. You MUST have the ohm meter set to the lowest number of ohms. Mine reads 200...

    My Project Thread. 88 350, my first idi.

    I would fix the broken glow plug/EZout before driving it. Like has been discussed here it WILL go BANG at some point. It might cause some severe damage when it goes BANG!

    Repeated Hub seal failure for Sterling 10.25"?

    Be careful with drilling that fitting. It also connects the brake hoses. If you cut/break one, you will lose your rear brakes.

    Starting an 093 turbo install on my 91 F350

    Can you drive it? If it builds boost (7 lbs or more) than no worries. Don't rev the engine to see of it builds boost. The engine should be under load.

    Starter.

    Check the electrical connections to the starter. Make sure they are CLEAN and TIGHT. Loose and/or dirty connections won't allow the starter to get full current they need.

    Diesel Rx Glow plugs

    The passenger's battery. It is closer to the starter solenoid.

    Glow Plug Voltage

    The glow plugs draw a LOT of current and that drops the voltage from the battery. Nothing to worry about if it starts normally. The alternator will recharge the batteries.

    Resistance on glow plugs aren't consistent. Possible bad relay. Which to replace?

    Zero ohms is a no resistance. This means that glow plug is shorted from + volt to - volt (ground). This will cause the glow plug controller to not work. You need to recheck the glow plugs and replace the glow plugs that read 0, 5, and 6. By the way; Welcome to Oil Burners!

    Hazard does only activate front blinkers?

    I had a blown bulb cause a short in my tail light circuit. Took me a week to find it by pulling each bulb until the short disappeared.
