Ryan volunteered to come down this weekend and run mine through the factory harness like he did on his truck. Thanks Ryan! (actually, when I asked him to do that on my truck, he just smiled and laughed...)

Installing an LED on the switched side of the GPR so you know when the glow plugs are lit or not. Only about 3 bux at radio shack, plus a bit of wire, a fuse, and an inline fuse holder.

It got pissy with me yesterday... taking off from a stop it took longer to go than normal, upper RPM's the truck seems to fall on its face (2500 rpm and no acceleration), got up to 190° in Spoko stop/go traffic yesterday. I think its mad at me for showing my Chevy/Dodge loving buddies what a DP Tuner can do this weekend.

I need to check the fluid. Last I checked it about a week ago it looked and smelled like ATF. Turbo was/is singin' along just fine for now... it likes to surge on me around 20 psi but I ran my truck hard enough last weekend to peg the 30 lb. boost gauge for 5-10 seconds and it didn't crap the bed on me.

I know this is a different type of rig but it sounds like the truck is doing what my wife's rig did on her. She or I should say I probably did, but anyhow an ear on a clutch or something of the sort on her auto Windstar broke off and cause simular symptoms. Cause it to accelerate very slowly. Couldn't get it above about 30 or 35. This was about a year and a half back though.
Sounds like it could possibly be the torque converter.

I installed mine just to find that the relay was only working part of the time. Just cause the WTS light is on, doesn't mean that your relay is heating the glow plugs.

Doesn't sound hard. Sounds to me to be 1 positive wire from your 12v LED to the GP relay and 1 wire to a ground in the cab.
