Is there any way to bypass the GP relay, and run the wires somewhere else? I know there is I just can't think of it.

 

Why do you wanna bypass it

 

I know some guys have rewired it to a different relay so they don't have to mess with them going out.

 

I have heard some replace the relay with a different type which is better built and more reliable. Is that what you are talking about? Or do you mean using another relay somewhere on the truck?

 

I found what I was looking for on a different thread. has taken all morning to find it. Some guys are getting rid of the GP relay and running the wires to the AIH relay as long as the AIH has been deleted.

 

here is what i did. Welcome to guzzle's Stancor GPR replacement Mod Web Page

 

Ya shattered, i have mine routed to the...whattaminute. I routed my AIH wires, over to the gp relay. Or switch the aih relay, since i gutted that system.

 

The AIH can be used as a backup in an emergency. But it is the same type of relay as the GP relay. It can fail also.

If you are concerned about the dependability and reliability of the relay, upgrade it.

 

Are you trying to activate your glow plugs manually? I think what your refering to with the aih relay is guys using it as a back up if the GP relay goes out since its just sitting there if the aih has been deleted.

 

Yeah stinson, that is what I was thinking. I got a relay from a place just over the mountain from me and it's funky looking. I'm not much on electrical, so I just managed to get myself confused. I'll see if I can post a pic of it.

I'm with you on electronics,I still have a long way to go. I'm sure I read threads or posts of guys doing just that, using a manual switch. They will chime in I'm sure. Why not just do the LED thing for the glow plugs. The relays don't go bad that often, and you can use the aih as a spare in a pinch. For me I'd worry I'd leave it on unless its on a momentary switch. I'm bad at leaving things on. Anyway the pcm does a good job of controling them.

 

Just get a stancor gpr and forget about it.

 

I think I will do that. I just need to take this other one back to the dink that sold it to me.

 

ya man, my electronic skillz suck ****. The led light helped out greatly though. Told me that my gpr was bad. Found a thread about what wires from the aih/gp relay, coinside to their respective post, and bam, led lit up again.

STANCOR my next purchase. i wouldnt try the one in ur pic.
