Your not the only one with CRS. With my dash still out I have to use the starter relay. I have a insulated pair of channel locks that work good.

CRS and taking the dash out would not work good for me I don't even want to think about what it would look like if i even got it all back together. The dash would prolly make more noise than the truck from all the missing parts

haha, that's why I had my nephew take it out. I told him 'slow down', I want to know how to do this. Ya right, there wasn't any slowing him down. If he don't come back to put it back in, I'm screwed. LOL

Well, if he doesn't, they'll be plenty of room for more sound proofing!

Finally results on a cold engine. It was 46° last night but I did plug it in for a few hours. All the glow plugs out and the batteries were charged.

Looks good, I would like know what the numbers would be on the mule. Just curious we all know the mule was well taken care of but really worked hard. So why don't you go out and check it in your spare time.

Rich, I think he'd have to run up to SD in his spare time. I believe the mule's up here. I think he's kinda busy this time of year, holiday season is close..

Yeah he needs to get to work on that naughty/nice list! Lol.

Glad you got it figured out Glenn. Great looking numbers as well. One of these days I need to pull all my GP's and re test mine. It would be a great comparison to having them in vs not when doing a comression test.

I'm happy, it was a cold motor with 184K on the clock.

Lots of spare time, I'm retired, LOL. Yes, I would like to know too what the mule is. Lots of years pulling hard but I did lots of maintenance so it would be interesting.

So, what was your numbers Todd? That would be a good comparison between GP's in vs GP's all out.
