    Valve Covers leaking

    Mine were leaking. Undid all the bolts and they were basically loose. They were also deformed. Cleaned everything up and used rtv. They still leak. How do I straighten out the flanges or what's a reputable source for new ones? Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

    Did I just fry my glowplug card

    Well I did it. Not the right way but it's fixed: Found a few more random chopped wires sticking out of the fuse box. This truck used to be a police vehicle maintained by an idiot so you can imagine the hackjob under the dash. Probed some more with the multimeter, found the 12v source wire...

    Did I just fry my glowplug card

    Started instantly at 0*F the other day after jumping the relay. Will check those grounds and the resistances off the temp sender. Tracking it's supposed to be about 300 ohms at 125* and ~30,000 ohms below freezing. Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

    Did I just fry my glowplug card

    I think I understand now after finding some other posts: 24v is normal unless the glow plugs are glowing. Next question: Purple wire in the diagram - is it supposed to be 12v or 24v with the key on? Lastly: is there a method of troubleshooting the glow plug card? Mine is the new one from Mr...

    Did I just fry my glowplug card

    Seems my resistor failed. 25.98 volts at the glow plug relay. Probably toasted a few plugs too. Sad panda if the card is toast, it's a new one just over a year old. Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

    Unfamiliar Coolant

    I don't have a source.... [emoji1745] Which is why I'm asking about some coolant brand I've never heard before Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

    Unfamiliar Coolant

    Should have been more clear my bad. After the full flush this starbright stuff won't hurt the cooling system will it? Any residual old coolant will be too dilute by that point to matter Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

    Unfamiliar Coolant

    My work closed down one of their repair shops. I happened to be there that day. They gave me 5 gallons of this stuff. Can I mix it with normal green coolant? Going to be doing a flush soon for a clogged heater core. Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

    Electric Water Temp Sensor

    Have had an electric temp sensor in place of the glow plug temp sensor on the back of the driver side head for the past 5 years at least. It's been fairly accurate, 180-190s after extended driving. Past few days it's suddenly reading low,not going over 140* ever. Temp goes down to low 100s any...
