One of my doors had been redone using black silicone gasket maker. I’d imaging that there are small shims of some sort if you tear them apart to manage the spacing between the glass and the frame.

Yes, replaced the thermostatic switch with new. Called it temp sensor in my post by mistake.
Thanks for the referral, Tooele is not far from me.

I’ve been having starting issues when really cold all winter. Truck had a Nartron Smart Start box. Wait light worked normally. Batteries are brand new yellow tops with a trickle-charger.
So, I replaced glow plugs and temp sensor and problem continued. I had a block heater installed and truck...
I have replaced the thermostatic switch and temperature sensor. If the thermostatic switch is plugged in the truck runs hot and the fan does not engage. If I unplug the thermostatic switch the fan engages.
I have the Testing Manual and I’m too dumb to know what to try next.
Help appreciated...
Today when I went to move the truck out of the garage the wait light started blinking. This was the first time it has ever blinked when turned on.
Gear Report. Thanks for comments. Really like your site and all the info. A must read site after buying one of these from auction.
After all I have...
Yoursmiledoc. Thanks for the feedback. I would be interested in the quote to mod the box.
What you’re describing is what I read on the Gear Report site as it described how the newest KDS box functions. I think.

OK. I removed a glow plug and connected the threads to the grounding kit. Plug did not heat up. I reinstalled the glow plug. Then replaced air filter. No change. Sprayed one squirt of starting fluid in air filter housing. Truck started right up.
Is this enough to condemn the smart start box...
I have an M998 with Nartron Smart Start Box (with diag port). No start progressively worse as it got colder.
Wait light turns on for 5 - 10 seconds then turns off. Cranks strong. Blows white smoke.
From the threads I’ve read on this forum I thought it was glow plugs so I replaced them but the...
A follow up thought.
Did you wire in the separate extensions supplied with the aftermarket lights? There appears to be a built in voltage reducer which may also help.

Rooster. Thanks for the feedback. I read something similar before and they said they replaced the bulb in the turn signal switch with an LED and it prevented the same thing from happening again. I got those bulbs for the the instrument cluster and ordered an extra for the turn signal switch in...
I have added LED headlights and I am replacing the front turn signals with the signals in the new headlights. My question is where can I buy a couple of the wiring adapters that are in the back of the housing? Hoping I can source them less expensive than buying a used housing on eBay.

I have a couple of extra doors I would like to trade to complete my sets.
I have an extra front right door and an extra rear door which I need to trade for the opposite sides.
If you know anyone who has incomplete sets I could speak to I would appreciate the referral.
