the profile shows an 87 so its a 6.9. cdv10 look at btpassing the controller to a push button switch.(the one that cuts power once you release your finger) on a cold morning hold it for 10-12 seconds.dave and many others can help you out with it.there are quite a few threads on here on how to by-pass the controller.i believe you pull the purple wire and run a wire from the battery or other source of power( i believe dave has his on a relay so the key has to be on to turn the gp's on) to a switch then another from the switch to the controller where the purple wire was.but not positive on the color there are diagrams and easy to follow instructions on here check with others before you do it(if you decide to)hope this helps.by the way these controllers are notorious for going out thats why alot of guys either convert the old system to the solid state or put in a push button the button is way cheaper and way easier.good luck.if ya need anymore info just ask someone will jump in
