    Glow Plug recommendations and issues...

    Doing some research, could it be the FICM (Fuel Injector Control Module) or IDM (Injector Drive Module)?

    Glow Plug recommendations and issues...

    After putting all the new plugs in I actually hooked the harness back up, even the huge box harness that goes over the valve cover, and turned the key one. Used the test light on the end of the glow plug cap, on every plug and I didn't get one blink of the test light.

    Glow Plug recommendations and issues...

    Update... I am doing my plugs now. I checked continuity on all driver side plugs and got 2.7 - 2.9 on all of them. Then I pulled the most forward one and tested it off the battery. It worked fine. Just to check one of the new ones to see if one was brighter than another and they both looked...

    It's weird cause it doesn't do it all the time. Sometimes it does it while I am driving and robs me of a lot of power!

    Will this cause a check engine light to pop up? And yeah I found it on the WIKI pages. Thanks!

    Oh wow OK! For some reason I think I disconnected it and got a check engine light because of it. What can I gain from "deleting it"? Thanks!

    Rusty, leaky oil pan fix!! Interesting!!

    I think it's an awesome idea but what about if the adhesive he is using or metal duct tape gets into the oil?

    Glow Plug recommendations and issues...

    so I am working on my glow plug situation and I can't figure out what the brown relay is for that is in the left side of the image. It looks like there is a power wire coming off one of the posts that is black with an orange stripe that seems to be going to my GPCM (glow plug control module)...

    Thanks for that input! I've had the valve covers off partially enough to get those clips in. It gets tight near the firewall. It looks like my truck is gonna need quite a bit of work in the next few months... not only this but a trans.

    Thanks again! I found a good price at Rockauto.com $9.81 a plug. Christmas present.

    Is my trans failing me?

    Thanks guys for all the input. I probably will be calling BTS soon. I did have the OD light blink the other day when I started my truck. I guess I should get AAA renewed and get the credit card warmed up! LOL

    Is my trans failing me?

    Doug, I heard great things about BTS. I read a lot about him on this forum and other areas on the web. However, I live in NJ and he lives in AK that could be a problem.

    Is my trans failing me?

    My truck is a mess, beyond my other post regarding cold starts and glow plug issues, I also think my trans is going. This is where I am at... I currently have 137K miles on the truck. The bogging noise that I have been hearing for the past 5 years is from what I am being told the torque...

    Glow Plug recommendations and issues...

    So I have been having these on going cold starting issues with my truck. I tried fixing the harness connector for my glow plugs that is at the valve covers and that had not seem to work. Originally I was only getting the codes for the driver side of the motor. After doing that clip fix, nothing...

    Broken Cruise Control.... Video.

    I just saw this, this morning: Officer Helps Stop Driver In Trouble - Houston News Story - KPRC Houston Wasn't there a recall on the cruise control from Ford? I swore I got something in the mail a year ago. I never got it fixed though. Oops. This will make me get it fixed now! I thought it...

    Which power steering hose is this???

    Thanks guys! Yeah I just repaired it, gonna go outside and try it out. Only problem is, I put in powersteering fluid instead of Mercon as recommended in the manual. Will this be a problem?

    Which power steering hose is this???

    Well here is the hose. It went from the cooler to the back of the pump. I was going to cut the line, put two barbed end fittings in it, hose clamp it and fill it back up with fluid, just so I can get home somewhat safely. Then replace the pump when I get home. I have 340 miles to drive...
