Hey guys!
I haven't been on myself for at least a few weeks. Glad to see everyone pops in once in awhile to check in.
I haven't changed any. Still rolling through the motions. Work work work. Its about to hit our busy time. I got myself a new project in the form of a Fox Body. I may have to show it off if it gets done lol.
Glad to hear Bill! Hopefully everything works out better for you. I know you hated your last job so I can see why you opted for coal again lol. It's been awhile since I've saw ya. About time for Aaron and/or Thomas and/or me to make a visit Lol!

Not arguing but stating a fact of mankind and all the wars and killings over the history of mankind. One mans facts is other man's lies. Who's right? The one who can get his gun or sword out the fastest. Again, not arguing, just stating a fact in my opinion.
Glad your going to get back to 'normal' Bill!! I know that job and driving was not to your liking!

Obama campaigned on shutting down the coal industry. This isn't one side stating what they percieve as fact about the other side. It came straight from the horses mouth.
How coal country voted for him anyway is beyond me, but that part stretches into opinion (not that they actually voted for him ((fact)), but why?

+1 on that....
We have cold weather up here now and I am still fitting a cold no start issue. To date glow plugs have been replaced, uvch replaced, multiple relays tried. I have done voltage drop tests. Amperage draw tests with an amp meter. Replaced both batteries.
This leaves one thing... Wiring. I am considering running two glow plug relays to isolate each bank for further testing. Bad idea? I can use a load reduction relay from the pcm signal to fire both GP relays..
I Plan on making new battery cables with some 00 welding cable I have kicking around. I like to use solder in lugs. The factory cable on the passenger side has two cables out of it. I haven't had much luck finding one locally. Is there a disadvantage to using a post type terminal adapter for this connection?

I used a jumper cable to bypass the relay and it didn't change much. I will ojm these plugs and plan to pull the covers after I do one other repair. I have ordered Dorman exhaust manifolds.
@Buddy Barnes the starter will be replaced with a gear reduction unit I just picked up.
