New glow plug harness too short, relocate controller?

[Ky85]

Howdy Burners,

I had some time to get out and work on the truck. Got the old stuck glow plugs out, tightened in some zd9, and went to put the new harness on. just my luck

It's too short. So wondering what the consensus is on what to do next, relocate controller or?

Looks like reading the vendors notes, it is to relocate the 7.3 GP Relay/ over onto the Passenger Fender. Whether 6.9 or 7.3 should be the same Harness.
Are 4 wires shorter than the other 4, or all the same length? Hard to tell in the picture you posted.

Contact the vendor and see what they say.

Whether 6.9 or 7.3 should be the same Harness.

The 83-86 6.9s use spade terminals on the glow plugs.

I know that, but someone reading this might not know.
But the distance from Relay to GP`s is the same
is what I was refearing to.

I don't know since the relay sits on the fender except for the 1987.

Yeah, 87 thru 94 it`s on the back of the Engine.

let`s see what info the Thread starter comes back with.
