    I needed to connect the shift controller to power that's on during start and run. The terminal on the glow plug relay was the easy button. The bright red wire with the yellow ring terminal is the power for the shift controller. I needed a solid ground. US Shift recommends running their power...

    I ran all the cables except the single green speedo wire through a rubber grommet in a hole I drilled in the firewall(?), high on the passenger side, immediately in front of the removable doghouse cover. From the engine side: From the cab:

    I found the wire (gray/black) running from the PSOM to the dash behind the instrument cluster, and spliced the green wire from the controller to it.

    That connector was indeed C119. It appears to connect engine harness to vehicle harness, in the middle front of the engine. I unhooked the connector and found that the end connected to the vehicle has continuity to the starter solenoid on the front driver side (R/LB wire). I turned the key to...

    Intermittent crank + start switch Again? + push button

    Lots of good advice above. Also, check your grounds! Last time I had a "click but no crank," it was a missing ground wire. That was on the Mercedes, which is set up a little differently, but if the engine block isn't thoroughly grounded, these are the symptoms you'll see.

    Holley Red are garbage, what else quickly?

    I got one of these dual-3-way valves to replace my tank selector valve. https://www.ebay.com/itm/261226164779

    I've only put a few hundred miles on my Walbro, but so far so good. I'm still using the old mechanical pump as a blockoff plate. Guess I should get a couple proper blockoff plates on the way...or just make'em from scrap.

    I am really struggling to figure out where to hook up the wires for the neutral safety switch. The EVTM says there is a white/pink wire and a red/light blue wire. The w/pk is coming from the ignition switch to the mlps, the r/lb is running from the mlps to the starter solenoid. According to the...

    Return line question

    Oof! $7+ per each for those olives! KDO58's picture shows the steel return line that the older diesels had. Nero's drawing shows the newer version, which I am switching to. An electric fuel pump won't fix air intrusion in the return lines, but the pump will re-prime the fuel system while you...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Xolatem, I thought we settled on D-cup holders to keep the coffee warm, and to make it. Old Goat, you were a chief, right?

    Cup holders

    A long time ago I learned to NEVER put anything on a vehicle roof. Set your coffee and helmet on the hood.

    I pulled the instrument cluster off, and found the elusive gray/black wire that carries the PSOM signal to the speedometer. While I had it off, I put 15 green LED bulbs in. It's such a pain getting these instrument clusters out that I don't want to have to do it again for a burned out peanut...

    Wow, that looks pretty good.

    Self regulating glow plugs

    Or, just use a momentary contact switch to operate the relay, and hold it on a bit longer when it's colder?

    This little digression on spills helps us to understand the importance of cupholders.
