capacitor yes sorry stink at spelling. So this snubber capacitor has nothing to do with starting the truck? its pretty much just a noise filter

Mine is broken the wire with no capister and the wire with the small capister are not connected. Should i put it back in and leave it alone, Or does it need to be replaced?

does it have the water seperator/ bleeder on it? that is a great feature i would hate to lose

Ok i have a m1009. When i got it about two years ago i put a freeze plug block heater in it KATZ, It worked for about a year and burnt out? Put a new one in and it only lasted for about 3 months. it would just pop the braker to the outlet. so i figured i wasnt installing them right...

Yes starter is brand new. i think i will buy two new batterys and they seem to run down pretty quick. I also thought about a air leak, guess i will crawl around and look again. How do u when the injector pump is working properly? U crank a injector to check the pump right?
