I have a 95 sierra that I'm rebuilding the motor. The wiring is thee same as my 98 suburban, so I'm going to unplug that wiring and use it on my burb. Does anyone see an issue doing that?

It's alive. I got it done yesterday just as the started. I cut out the flat spot section and spliced in a 16 guage wire a little longer than what I took out so I have a little more slack to work with. I also replaced all the lines on turbo side so I shouldn't have one of those go bad at time...

That wire goes to the #8 glow plug. Could the pop he heard be the glow plug? Should I replace it?

Check out the pictures. There are 2 flat spots in the wire where it crossed over the intake hole. I checked for other burnt and open wires but can't find any. That has to be the cause but I can't find where it burned.

I think/hope I found the culprit. I just finished breakfast (not that you guy's care) and psyching myself out to do more tedious work trying to track it down. Doing a visual inspection I noticed that there is a red wire pinched between the block and intake on the back passenger side. I tried...

Just got up not all there yet but what do you mean without the support of the FFM (unbolt it)? Where does the glow plug relay sit normally? I was thinking also that he may have pinched a wire between the intake and the block.

Got the leaky line out. Take a look at the new next to the old in the picture. I actually replaced (had my son replace) all the lines on the turbo side so we shouldn't have a leak on those for a few years at least. We did run into a problem. My son put the lower intake on all the grounds. He...

Great idea. Thanks!

Good point. All I did yesterday was take the intake bolts/studs off. I'm thinking of just sliding the intake over just enough to tighten the line then put it back and start it. That will prevent any fuel from being sucked in.

I found the leak. It is where Big T said it would be. It is on the 2nd IP/Injector line connector down from the top on the passenger side. I guess it could have vibrated lose. I do have extra lines if the actual line is bad. I had one go bad about 5 years ago and bought a complete set just in...

Thanks guy's!

That's where my last IP was leaking now that I think about it.

good idea. I'll do this after I inspect the weep hole Leroy was talking about.

Thanks Leroy. That's what i was thinking. Do you have a picture of that weep hole so I know where to look?

I spoke too soon. I must not have driven it enough for it to start leaking. I hope it's not the IP. It only has 10k on it. The 3 or 4 years ago it was the IP leaking that caused me to replace it.

I just removed the upper intake to make it easier to get at. It is the one that a clear section helps for diagnostics.

Anyone know a part number or brand that makes a plug and play tow wiring harness (so I don't have to splice wires) for my 98 suburban?

I'm an idiot. It was the little return hose coming off the IP. I don't know why I didn't check that. Ever since I got covid my mind isn't working right. I'm forgetting simple things I've done before. ADD times 1000!!!

Thanks big t!

I know it is good at the rear return since I just replaced it last week. I'll replace the front and see what happens.
