The last time I drove my truck, we pull started it because the batteries were dead, or so I thought...turns out the fusible link wire to the glow plug solenoid burnt in half and the started solenoid went bad because it wouldn't turn over. It's an 87 6.9 with the new style (7.3 style) wiring harness and controller. So my questions are this....
1. Did the starter solenoid short out and burn the fusible link or visa versa?
2. Where do I get or what do I use to replace whatever I need to re wire my glow plug controller to work properly. I've never seen anything other than inline fuse buses at auto parts stores???
3. Should my glow plug controller still be ok?
4. Where can I get an injector seat tool?
I really like my truck but it's been a nightmare from day one. It sat for almost 10 years before I put a different motor in it and between the mice and just sitting everything has made this truck a 3 year ordeal that still has all kinds of issues. And I am bound and determined that it's going to be my daily driver before summer is over. ***Also where's the best place to get new return line caps and seals? I plan to put clear line on all of them because I think I'm getting air in the lines which in turn even before the wires burnt, was causing me to have to roll start the truck in order to start it??? And when/if I decide to get new injectors, will I need a whole new set of return caps etc? Thanks.
