Premature GP failure

[ulmapache]

Ok, 6 months ago, R+R'd GPs, used Berus...now acting like GPs are failed again...any suggestions on why they would fail so soon? Manual GP button...
'84 F250, 6.9idi, T-19 2WD 160,000 miles...I think. Runs well when she runs...

If you still have the old controller, they are very much a problem at any time.

Forgot to add that I have a manual GP... Have seen solid state controllers, any good? And how hard is it to go back to one of these systems from a manual set up?

Don't forget to check the big plug connection where the yellow wires meet at passenger side valve cover. 8 seconds or less will help the GPs live longer. Advance your pump a hair to help with starting also. Are you still running the stock fuel separator?

Aftermarket water separator..GPs went from 4-5 seconds to 10, to 15...and still won't fire for at least 30 seconds of cranking...with breaks every 10 seconds or so...so I don't trash the new starter...

Ohm the installed ones for bad ones & replace before starter goes again. I use the DB Electric...fast shipping. I get 2 when I purchase, same shipping price, keep a spare. Cheap but last for me. Spin the engine quicker than standard Mitsubishi.
