Thanks for the help guys!

So I am going through the engine and everything(Coolant, belts, oil, GPs, ...) else trying to get my M1008 road worthy and I noticed on the back of the driver's side engine that there was a connection that looks like it had a vacuum line or breather hose attached to it. I can't figure out what...

Update: Got the GP relay installed with a dedicated 12v wire which is on a 100amp breaker from the battery. I went ahead and replaced all the glowplugs with AC60g's. The originals seemed to be working fine but were pretty gunked up and wet. Came up with a pretty sweet spot for the GP switch and...
