GP Relay Befuddling issue
Awesome, thanks for the ideas! I am considering drilling some holes in the dash for the button, and I do like the idea of having it on the left side. You're absolutely right about having more control over heating the glowplugs, I think the manual button is growing on me haha. I'll post some...- rorykillam

GP Relay Befuddling issue
Yes that seems to be the case, it's confusing how three different controllers and they all had the same problem. But whatever, it looks like I'm going to have to stick with the manual push button. If I get some more motivation I might do some more diagnosing. Thanks for the help everyone! I...- rorykillam

GP Relay Befuddling issue
Also didn't get a chance to advance the timing on the pump, I might check it out after work sometime this week. If I do I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes. A little off topic but I have heard some people recommend running ATF through the injector pump and letting it sit over night to...- rorykillam

GP Relay Befuddling issue
That's what I was thinking, I will look around for a connecter plug somewhere to replace it. I can't imagine it will be too hard to find. So sadly I did not get to do as much trouble shooting as I was hoping today. But I did make some progress, I rigged up a temporary manual GP switch in the...- rorykillam

GP Relay Befuddling issue
I do have a block heater, not sure if works, sadly where I live at the moment it's nearly impossible to hook it up to an outlet. I am thinking about bringing it to a friend's house to leave overnight though. I might try to advance the timing today, I am a little hesitant because I am not super...- rorykillam

GP Relay Befuddling issue
I am going to double check some of the wiring tomorrow morning, I'll report back if I find anything suspiscious. Part of the reason I'd like to figure this out is to be able to help anyone else that might have this issue. I don't mind throwing new parts on this truck but I know not everyone...- rorykillam

GP Relay Befuddling issue
Thank you for the all the help. This is frustrating because I know what should cause the problem but still can't seem to fix it. To make sure everyone understands my situation I'll add a few things for clarification: It takes about 15 seconds of cranking for the truck to fire. After starting and...- rorykillam

GP Relay Befuddling issue
Yes I replaced all the hard injector lines when I found the one cracked, also replaced all the return lines, injector o rings, hose clamps and plastic covers. I have the vibration dampeners on thanks for the tip! I wasn't going to put them on because I thought they looked kind of useless but I'm...- rorykillam

GP Relay Befuddling issue
I ohmed them out and the beru plugs are good, I will clean the GP threads out a bit better tomorrow and see if that helps. I haven't cleaned the threads in the block where the plugs ground through, any suggestions on a good way of doing that? I don't want a bunch of solvent leaking into the pre...- rorykillam

GP Relay Befuddling issue
Also just so yall don't think I was just throwing parts at it every part I have replaced tested bad, was the original 30 yr old part or in the case of wires looked really beat up. Except the GP controller which I admit I just replaced out of the fear I didn't test it properly or got a false...- rorykillam
