Did you try posting this in the pre power stroke forum down the page a little? You will get more answers there I think.

the big problem with this is that the 6.0 was never offered in the 88, so you will have to find the person that put the 6.0 in it so you can figure out what he did.

seedguy, do you have an 88 with an IDI engine or do you have something newer with a 6.0?

With the placement of the controler I think he has a IDI 7.3 not a 6.0. He does have a 05 so wonder if he just mis-spoke. Been there done that.

Might want to run a separate ground from the battery to the controler ground lug. I was having problems with my 93 until I did this. Seemed to solve a lot of problems.

seedguy, please confirm your engine...so we can place your question in the correct forum.

If you performed a 6.0 retro fit, please provide details.

I think he meant 6.9L. 0 and 9 are right next to each other on the keyboard.

Are the glow plugs just clicking once, or constantly clicking? Can you hear it in the cab, or head under the hood only?
