glow plug relay

Hey guys, here in idaho the temps have been around 0 for a few days now, and I almost drained my batteries down before my truck started the other day. White smoke was present while I was trying to start my truck. I have a predator, and when I first plugged it in, the GPR code showed up, but now the problem is bad and needs to be addressed. So do you guys think that replacing my GPR would fix my problem? I also have heard of guys having problems with certain types of GPR's, so a heads up would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Did u buy your truck from someone in california, because i thought that there was no code for the GPR being bad. Anyways guzzle just did one and i guess its much better than stock...http://guzzle.rbmicro.com/s_gpr.html

Had the same problem after installing a DP Tuner. I have a California truck and they sent me a progamer with the wrong code for a California truck. Throws the 0P670 code. I'm having a new programmed chip sent to me. Been having a hard time starting in the real cold we've been having. Below 25 down to 10. Check the Predator codes.

Sure sounds like the GPR. There have been many posts about that (I did mine this year) so do a search and you will get all the info you should need.

When it is cold, I recommend starting in the stock setting. That is what the system is designed for. All that additional fuel is not helping then.

Replacement chip should solve my problem. But I do love the power gained with current chip! wow!
