    E4OD OD light FIXED

    Fixing My "E4OD Overdrive Blinking Light" Issue First off, a big thank you to everyone who shared their experiences with the E4OD overdrive blinking light! I finally fixed mine, and here’s what I did: My OD light would come on (blinking) the instant I let off the throttle and go away when I...

    Using Glow Plugs to super tune the engine

    I think using the glow plugs as thermocouples for cylinder combustion temps is interesting.

    30 degree cold start (opinions wanted)

    Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences, I've begun depressing the throttle pedal on startup and that seems to help a little.

    30 degree cold start (opinions wanted)

    Thanks, I'll check it out. Mine seems to run okay ish, I was mostly just looking for an idea if it was running poorly or not, or at least getting people with way more experience with these vehicles to listen to what mine sounds like and how it starts cold

    30 degree cold start (opinions wanted)

    Thanks for the reply, I'm not familiar with the fast idle, should I be looking for a switch somewhere? I just turn the key, there is a red "wait to start" indicator, when it goes out I crank it (it's like maybe 10-15sec.) Thanks, that's good to hear! Thanks everyone else, I'll be looking at...

    30 degree cold start (opinions wanted)

    Thanks, I guess I'll try fully charging up the batteries and see if that makes a difference. I think that's why I posted, it seems noisy to me also, it takes about 3 to 5 minutes for the clatter to 'slightly' smooth out but it is a noticeable change

    30 degree cold start (opinions wanted)

    Hi All, I'm very new to diesels, just wondering what y'all think of this 30deg F cold start. Any concerning noises or does it sound consistent with other idi's? **two prior 15sec crank no-start cycles trimmed from video, couldn't upload to forum** Thanks, stay warm out there!

    @XOLATEM Thanks, I'll try adding a wire to the TCM (Transmission Control Module?) And I totally agree with your "positive feedback" comment, forums only work when there are meaningful responses.

    @nelstomlinson, Thanks for sharing your experience with the PSOM (Programmable Speedometer/Odometer Module) I'll take a look at the system. @XOLATEM, Thanks, I did finally locate the EEC plug (forward of the driver side battery, attached to the body, black cover with red plug) @Cubey, Thanks...
