My truck has a bypass already installed and 8 bad glow plugs. Probably by the PO when the IP was bad. New ones go in tomorrow. It has started up just fine until last friday when the morning temps here in my part of California has dropped to 30 or so. I have been plugging the block heater into a timer that powers it up an hour before i go to work. No problem firing it up and it fires up fine without the heater 11 hours later.
The articles I have read say to not energize the plugs more than ten seconds.
Rather than glow-then-crank, what would be wrong with pushing in the glow plug button and cranking at the same time, until it lights if under ten seconds?
