    Glow plug controller failure

    Im not opposed to a push button. But schooling everyone that would ever drive the pickup would be a pain. There are some relatively non gear headed people that get to drive ito_O

    Glow plug controller failure

    So my volt gauge has been flickering around. Didnt give it too much thought at first - factory gauges ya know. But could see the fuel pressure drop a bit when the volt gauge dropped. And the blower motor responded as well. The problem seemed to be getting worse. Seems bumps set it off. And...

    Algea in my fuel?

    Algae grows in between the layer of water and layer of diesel in a tank. It plagues farmers around nebraska. Non taxed fuel is red though. Dont know what color the algea is, might vary a bit. The remedy for an algea tank is to clean it out - like power wash it- and let it dry. The...

    Could take the line off at the pump and fuel selector. Cap it at the selector. Put some air pressure or adapt to a garden hose for ~35psi water pressure from where you took it off at the pump. Should start to leak where it was sucking air. Kind of a long process, but i really cant figure out a...

    So what did you do with your truck today?
