Thumbs up OT: Thanks guys

Since its 40*F outside (and I'm normally not even up this early) I thought I should tell everyone that has helped out with the GPR relay test/replace threads, THANKS!!!

I didn't post my own GPR question, since it was fairly obvious it didn't work when the PO said "Oh before I forget, plug it in if its under 60* out, or it won't start". I ran the forum search and found all kinds of good info for tests and replacements. While I would have loved running the Stancor/White-Rogers, I'm currently at a GPR109 due to budget... and my not having any at the time when I needed it working.

I also have to say thanks for putting up with all of my uninformed/dumb questions up to this point and apologize for any I have in the future. I'm sure when I setup my DIY RR I'll have at least one question, but hopefully it will just be "success" pictures. I saw plenty of posts on correct thread size.

Cheers for the FTE Brotherhood!!

I should also mention that a side effect of all your help is fixing little annoy things, like electric door locks, and the GPR (when its cold) on my Dad's '02 7.3 too.

Aaron, there are no dumb questions (well, except the ones I use to get from freshman in their forest engineering course ) and kudos to you for using the search function. The Lord helps those that help themselves.

I would suggest putting in an LED to tell you when the GP's are working (or not working).

Thanks Neal. I try to agree with the "there are no dumb questions, only dumb people" but seeing the same question over and over again... well wait, I guess that might prove the second part. I'll completely admit to falling into the second part for vehicle stuff. I'm a System Admin for Unix per my job title (not pay though ), so sometimes this real easy "it just goes there and be done with it" doesn't always work for me and wanting to know the science behind why it works. I should finish my degree (AAS is taking me almost 10 years) and actually get a job computer programming, which is where I want to be.

I have enough LEDs sitting here... I just haven't sucked it up and decided where to install it at. It's on my "eventually mod" plan. I've got my DVM and know exactly how my truck fails to work, I'm thinking I should start saving for my "monster GPR" now. maybe $5/month. Its over 60*F 8 months a year where I live. Even when I move back up to Albuquerque (in 2 weeks) it will be more of the same.
Cheers!

I'm GTG for that. I'll be living next door to a bar too. I don't know if knowing the owner for years will help me get a discount though.

I'll actually be in Abq but my truck might be staying here in Alamogordo till I finish some home repairs to make the house easier to sell.

Just shoot me a PM when you think you'll be by and I'll give you my cell #.
