    6.9 IH glow plug controller bypass

    So I went out to start the truck this morning. The glow plug solenoid click as normal but no voltage at the glow plugs. So I'm guessing it's the controller. Is there a way to bypass the controller? To send 12 volts to the glowplugs?

    Filled up with B99

    Just filled up the tanks on the 1991 F350 with B99. It is 16 miles one way. The engine did quiet down after about 5 miles or so. It was very noticeable and I almost thought that it was going to stall out because of how quiet it became. Exhaust temp was the same and power seamed the same to me...

    Crazy question and theory

    As some of you know Dark thread cutting oil has a very high sulfur content. Could adding a small amount of this type of oil to our ultra low sulfur fuel make it better for our old diesels that love sulfur in the fuel. Now, this is just a question and not something that I have done nor am I...

    FIPL

    Replaced my FIPL and connector today. As the old ones were falling apart. I have it set at 1.2V at idle and when doing a sweep it only goes to 3.58v at WOT. Is this correct? I could have sworn it was supposed to get to 3.8V.

    Idle speed jumping

    So the idle speed has been jumping around the last week. From 650 - 750 rpm, it has done it 3 times now. No running rough or anything when it happens. Just kind of strange. I don't see any leaks anywhere. Anyone have an idea?
