    Cool channels cool trucks.

    Ah, Detroit Diesels. Screaming Jimmy's. I had an 8V92TA that put out something like 425 hp. I had it in a dump truck with a 13 spd tranny and 2 spd rear ends.

    Get the glovebox out, how?

    As I remember, you remove the door stop and let the glovebox door hang down. Removing the inner box is simply removing a couple of screws and pulling the box out the glovebox door. It has been quite a while since I did this.

    starter system issues

    The grounds cause more electrical problems than most people know. Cleaning the grounds is something that everybody NEEDS to do, but most won't. They will spend countless hours chasing "other" problems to no avail.

    High Iron levels in oil sample

    Generally high iron levls in the oil are symptoms of cylinder wall wear. Meaning the engine has been USED heavily, like pulling loads.

    E4OD TC engagement

    You are right in what you are saying. I was trying to keep it simple with the basic needs of the TCM. This can get complicated. The TCM needs to see current flowing through the bulb and you will not see current flowing through the LED (at least not that the TCM will see).

    E4OD TC engagement
