Oil Temp Mod
Hopefully c00nhunterjoe sees this but maybe someone else can help me if he doesn't. He was tellin me tha I could put a 4K resistor on 1 of 2 wires to trick the comp into thinkin that the oil temp to the injectors is cooler than it is. Does anyone have some pics of the wires I should connect to?

went out, did the mod,
total time start to finish- about 6 minutes
i havent driven it yet but so far i can say this, its 36 degrees here right now and i had absouluty no glow plug on time differences, some people claimed that you have to put the glow plugs on a switch because they will stay on, this is not the case, mine functioned normally. the truck sat since thursday night untouched so this was a true cold start, no difference.
pictures are loading now, will post shortly.
i used a 4.7k resistor, its all i had here, i am heading to my parents today so i will have a 100 mile trip to respond on tonight

got 115 mile round trip in tonight on the mod, mostly rolling hills with some pretty steep, 40-60 mph.
i will say this,
from a dead stop normal drive- noticeable throttle response increase
50 mph cruise- no change
mild rolling hills- takes less throttle to pull hill
steep grade- takes less effort to pull grade
0-60 mph WOT- a little faster, enough to notice a difference
50- 100 WOT- biggest increase, truck feels much better in top end power
fuel economy- to be determined
