Aside from my unbalanced flywheel issues, I have noticed something else. I put in a new glow plug controller as the original one was working intermittently. I also have an LED wired to the controller as well. My LED comes on but the WTS light does not. I wait for the LED to shut off and the truck starts so I know the controller is working, but why not the WTS light? The WTS light was working before I replaced the controller. I know it's not a huge deal, but I like everything to work as it should.

that plug can be a bit deceptive, I didn't have mine plugged in all the way after did my return lines, and the WTS light didnt come on. Push it all the way in until the little plastic boot inside compresses and you hear/feel a click

I did plug it in, but there is a good chance I didn't seat it all the way. Guess I will check that first.

I managed to check that wire while I was replacing my flywheel..again. As soon as I touched it the plug separated. I made sure to hear it click this time and my light is working again. Thanks guys.

I would consider moving the wires over the top of the fuel return line between the last two injectors... less chance of the insulation melting. I believe that's the way it came from the factory. At least mine did.
