GPR LED mod

There is a discussion going on this in the SD forum, but it seems nobody with a Cali fuel system has ever tackled this (or at least isn't posting up). Has anyone in here with a Cali model tried this? I think it would be killer to have a separate LED for each bank

OK, and LED is a little light. Are you suggesting that each Glow Plug have it's own little light or are you suggesting that each injector have it's own little light?

If none of the above I have no clue as to what you or the SD forum are talking about.

I read up on it, it just a light attached to the GPR so you know if it working or not. the cali truck have a different regulator then the 49 state trucks.

what it looks like I dont know. see here for thread.

That's the one- basically the LED is just an indicator light to let you know your glow plugs are actually working. Since the Cali trucks use a GPCM and not a GPR it has to be set up a little different than the photos in that link, which is what I'm trying to figure out. Ideally I'd like to end up with an LED indicator for each bank.

I believe only SD models w/ CA emissions have a different GPR setup. My 96 Cali truck has the same gpr as the 49 state trucks.

Huh, I thought all the Cali's had the GPCM instead of the GPR. I guess I'll leave you guys alone now

You can have 1 little light! Or, I guess if you really wanted, you could hook a hot lead to each glow plug and have 16

Robb- I think my early 99 is different still from what you posted- I'm no expert by any means on my truck but what I believe to be my GPCM looks similar to the GPR but has more wires/terminals on it.

Yes. Its a glow plug monitor system.
No need for a led. In the event of a failure it will set a code.
The relay looks the same with the addition of a shunt bar on it.
