    Glow plug relay question

    I have no experience with a gpr100 relay. It looks to be an "economy" choice from NAPA. I am not sure of it's internal design, but it looks to be used in some GM diesel vehicle applications. I'd test it for compatibility, before installing one.

    Glow plug relay question

    One other tid bit of info to consider. The Glow Plug Controller card is designed for a specific range of output load(the relay coil). You could see a variation in performance, depending on how far from OE spec, your relay coil is(if you choose any old relay).

    5 ton cold start pump info

    If you do an advanced search in the 5 ton forum, for primer o ring, there are 9 threads(that mention the o rings). There are also 2 check balls and light springs that get gummed up, in the pump. It's best to remove the pump, to service these balls.

    Glow plug relay question

    The term "Ford relay" is very confusing and misleading. The important thing with the glow plug relay is, it needs to have an isolated from ground(chassis) coil. The original glow plug controller switches the negative/ground to the relay coil. Positive/+ is always "on" on the relay coil...

    M1009 turns but no start

    That's great! Don't forget to hold the pedal down some while cranking. It helps set the high idle solenoid and seems to make them start easier cold.

    transmission leak...HELP

    While you have it down, I would replace your engines rear main seal. Costs about $50 and only takes another hour, tops.

    Lifters will not move???

    No compression. Sounds like the lifters are just stuck in their bores(at the top of their stroke). Are you sure you pushed them all they way down(recently). Did they move at all, were they stuck in the bores? Are you pushing the pushrod in while cranking? You may need to do that a while to...

    M1009 turns but no start

    Have a meter with you, and test/confirm your new relay. Do not trust the counter sales person or trust that it is the correct part in the correct box. Test it. Others have been burned(no pun intended) when buying the correct relay. Just check it!

    M1009 turns but no start

    The glow plug relay does need to have an isolated ground (no continuity between any of the 4 terminals, to ground(it's mount))to work with a stock glow plug controller card and wiring. two numbers off the top of my head are GP109 or St85 relays. "ford" relays are not compatible with the...

    Did they say why not? Is it you, your age, or your state, or none of them will do tractor trailers of that age? Throw us a bone... btw, it's insurance.
