    GP Relay Befuddling issue

    1992 Ford F250 NA 7.3L IDI Hello folks this is my first post here so please bear with me. I'm going to try to keep this as concise as possible while still giving you all the information.

    Wiring Glow plugs on 93 7.3 idi to a momentary switch

    I'm new here but I've used this site for many my idi problems and you guys always have some great stuff so I have an idea for my glow plus and want to see if anyone thinks it'll work or not. I'm thinking I could just wire a momentary switch to control the glow plugs versus having the timer...

    Rough High Idle to engine not firing up

    Good Morning Oilburners, I've recently made a post about my truck not firing up that was solved by me replacing 4 out of 8 glow plugs (the easiest 4 to get to considering the fuel lines are covering the other 4). Anyway, yesterday I was driving it no problem and then I started to feel/hear a...

    Slow start at 47 °F ... Glow plugs?

    Here is a cold start I recorded a few minutes ago. Outside temperature is 47 °F, I have Opti-Lube Winter (blue) anti-gel in the tank and I haven't run it in 24 hours. Didn't run block heater. Anyone think this is glow plugs or something else? Cold start at 37 °F after sitting for 12 hours...

    Temp sender replacement

    So I installed a turbo (Hypermax) on my '93 7.3 IDI and that's working pretty well (need to adjust it a little because I'm only getting up to 7 psi of boost, but for now that's ok) but since I installed it I've always had the Engine Temp light turned on on my dash. I didn't think much about it...
