Thanks, I'll look at that but I think previous owner might have done something. theres a huge starter type relay hanging on the bottom center of the dash. that could be his attempt at fixing it. Cheers

What is the purpose of this Mod?

I tried starting it without GP plugged in and it took a couple of tries but it started. I doesn't get any colder than low 70s F. here so maybe I would not need them. If not I'll just leave that one in and keep the plugs disconnected. But if it would help start on the first crank then I'll...

I did not get it out. I jumped on here to see how to get it out. lol I'm gonna try the vise method but want to take the injector out. I got the truck with all the plugs disconnected. gonna try and figure out the GP wiring.

Just pulled my glow plugs today. all but drivers side rear came out. the 7 that came out look pretty good but I searched online but my plug connector looks different than the ones I found online. mine don't have the male spade connector but just a tip. anyone know the difference? thanks

checking the vin cards. the R says Conventional Cab 4x2 but I have a 4x4 regular cab with a bed. ?

I'm new to the cucvs. what is an R30 is it a dually or are they 4 wheelers too? Is it a M1028 as the 4th is an H?

Looking through some threads here on the vin but its getting me a little confused. When I google the VIN on my truck which I am assuming is an M1008 I'm not so sure of what I have. It says I have an R30 the plate under the dash says 89. But when I search R30 its for a Dually? I might have a...
