    starting to get my knickers in a knot.....

    the durn thing wont start at all if not plugged in. Thought the ground would be through the bolts, cleaned the whole mounting surface with a brass brush.(didn't take off the paint) According to all I have read, the relay should be working.

    $0.12 diesel jump?

    unless its a big national chain, they probably all get the goods from the same oil company. that would make the prices all the same in the area.

    PDAs?

    I know enough about computers to make me dangerous to a computer! :dunno But that would be awsome to get a diagnostics tool like the auto engenuity and a programer in one. thats kind of like the hyperpac.

    LED for GPR

    I've read here that the GPR can stay on long after the idiot light goes off, does anyone see an issue with installing an LED to indicate when the GPR is on or off exactly?

    The procedure for the shimming is for a pre 99.5 7.3, is it the same for newer? I didn't see a schrader type valve on my fpr. maybe I have to look better. going out now.

    hard cold starting

    All glow plugs on passenger side were .5 to .6 ohms, the drivers side was from the back 1.7, 1.7, infinite, 1.6. is it normal to have that much of a range from side to side, suppose one side was replaced and the other not? I know the infinite one is bad, but the others seem to be at both ends of...

    is a wt. distributing hitch needed on f350?

    some states require the anti sway, but not the equalizers. My grandpa went from a 35 foot camper down to a 14 foot, pulls with a 1 ton cube van. but still uses the equalizers. Habit I guess.

    Fuel Additives

    This being my first diesel, I wasn't sure what to use. I have been running blended fuel, but had a can of Seafoam laying around, so dumped that in the tank. by the way, it starts so much better when there is a good cord on the block heater.

    overdrive shut off not working

    got the shifter replaced, cost almost $100, but thats the price I have to pay for buying busy all the time. (I think I might have to re-evaluate my schedule?!?!) Works great though, getting her all ready for the camping season.

    antifreeze orange or green

    thanks guys, I think it was gold, but it was more brown than gold. I'll have to flush it in a couple days, have to get the tire fixed first.

    antifreeze orange or green

    neither is recomended, it says "use what was origionaly used in your truck"... either green or gold. " if you don't know, check your resevoir." (its empty). the coolant taken out of the bottom of the radiator is inconclusive as to what has been added and or used. the dealership couldn't tell me...
