Yessir, looking forward to having you outWes,
I will let you recommend if I need a new harness when I leave my truck with you this Sunday.

This is something else that I forgot about while I was there. It appears that you were out anyway so it really doesn't matter that I forgot.I am back in stock with our billet check valves,
I would be careful changing the wiring with the stock controller. Not saying it won't work, but there is the possibility it won't glow the plugs correctly. The stock controller was calibrated with the original AWG wire in the original lengths. Any change in the resistance in the wiring will change how long the original glowplug controller glows the plugs. If you move the controller itself, that means you are changing the wiring lengths to the glowplugs themselves, which it does monitor.
At work I've been working a lot with the electricians on a project we had this conversation and they have proven that this theroy isn't exactly accurate with full spools of wire of the same gauge 10 spools all read different with the same meter but same readings with second meterI'm reading that 10 AWG wire should have 1 ohm resistance per 1000 feet. That is .001 ohm per foot. If there is 4 feet added to each of the 8 glow plug wires for a total of 32 feet, the added wiring would add .032 ohms to the system. I'm reading different things about what the ohms of the glow plugs should be, but it is roughly somewhere between .5 and 1.5 ohms. I'm sure somebody can get better numbers than this. But I don't think .032 additional ohms should affect anything significantly. I'm willing to give it a try, anyway.
