New GP's and smokey no mo

Put some new glow plugs in the 95. I didn't think my old ones were that bad. It would smoke when I started it cold, for quite a while.
No more blue smoke when cold. YEA!
Put in a 3" downpipe and removed the cat, that turbo is freed up now.
I didn't know if I'd like this truck compared to my 83 f250. Now I have a hard time deciding which one I want to drive.
Now if we could get diesel cheap....

Did that too. Got it from Napa. Don't know if it's a stancor or not. Send a link and I'll check it out.

Nice truck.

I certainly don't have a stancor then. When this one dies I'll check that out.

mwk, Here is where you'd find it, part number is already in. $45 plus shipping
http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine....user_Wildcards

Place is used to bulk orders, thats why is has all the different pricing options, maybe us here at FTE should collectively buy a bunch and save some Green??

Ya thing is a monster. After you install it, you can see a HUGE difference in the amount of juice is draws to charge the GP'S. Volt's go WAY down. Make sure you have good working batts for this mod!
