Any body played with different wire/cable size to the gpc to alter glow time?
On my truck I get a full 20 seconds (this morning at 20 deg) first cold start. Havent checked voltages or voltage drop to controller, but in theory the factory wiring must be tired, causing volt drop at gpc and long glow times. It has been this way a long time with glow plugs lasting as expected.
I would like to add a battery cable from battery to gpc to hopefully shorten glow times, but seems like I remember doing that to one of my trucks and it shortened glow plug life.
