My guess is that you just need to move the decimal place over two places. so you would have: Right side: 0.68, 1.20, 0.67, and 1.15. Left side: 1.22, 1.26, 1.70, and 1.80. I would still try to confirm this is the case.

I agree. I also wonder why you are doing this when you can just check for 12volts on the one side of the GPR if all you were trying to do is check the GPR?

In 10 to 15*my truck hardly smokes at start up but will leave giant clouds of white smoke if I step on the accelerator about 5 to 10 minutes after startup, and in mildly cold( about 0-5*F) the truck starts extremely hard, I have to cycle the keys 4-5 times and press the skinny pedal to get the truck to start, would I have bad batteries or a bad GPR?

I didn't know about that.In 10 to 15*my truck hardly smokes at start up but will leave giant clouds of white smoke if I step on the accelerator about 5 to 10 minutes after startup, and in mildly cold( about 0-5*F) the truck starts extremely hard, I have to cycle the keys 4-5 times and press the skinny pedal to get the truck to start, would I have bad batteries or a bad GPR?

Jacob, IOT answer your question, you need to test the voltage coming from the GPR to the GPs. Once satisfied the GPs, GPR, and batteries are up to snuff, it may be time to look elsewhere.

Jacob do what Mike said first. Take the meter and set it for DC volts. Measure the voltage at the batteries. Then measure the voltage at the line side of the GPR, turn the key on then check the voltage on load side of the GPR Let us know what your readings are.
