    I've had 10 and 11 mm glows, might depend on brand.

    IAT is on top of intake, OPS on a 97 is likely beneath the fuel filter and intake manifold IIRC

    Looks like he sent you an oil pressure sender, a coolant sender from the drivers side head?. The wires are part of the pass. glow plug harness from what I see. They connect the 2 plugs that go through those heat shields

    You can wire in an override using an older Ford Starter relay or something similar. I have one on my 95. Just take power from the hot side of the glow controller and put it on the input of the relay. wire the start terminal of the relay to a momentary switch, then the output side of the relay to...

    The battery is grounded to the Al. intake which is a good conductor.

    Maybe this has more to do with the grounds on the back pass. side of the intake, or any grounds that affect the ecm which controls the glow system.

    What shape are all your battery cables in? + and -, a loss in electrical current will reset the glow system until the first start.

    I assume you meant glow plugs? This sounds like you have lost ground to battery, the first restart will not give you full glow cycle.

    No, they will unscrew, then they won't pull out, luckily mine have all came out.

    You Russians and us Canadians have a lot in common, it was quite a bit warmer here today, but maybe not next week. (:

    I think I bought mine on ebay, but check with Leroy first.

    Best overall diesel engine oil winter vs summer

    All I know Will is I get a lot of sludge in the centrifuge, so it does help. This truck gets about an hr. of run time each day, 30 mph max feeding cows. The centrifuge would likely work a lot better on a long run.

    Best overall diesel engine oil winter vs summer

    It's a 6.5 Will, the oil is always black. I've let it drain over night, put new oil in, start it and the oil is black. :D Probably about 40 psi when driving, 60 when cold

    I did that a several years ago, it works well. There is a fair bit of sludge in the centrifuge

    Best overall diesel engine oil winter vs summer

    In 2 of my trucks which sit outside I use Shell T-6 0/40 year round. Almost instant oil pressure even at -30 C. my Duramax and my 98 6.5 will start at that temp not plugged in. The 6.5 is the better starter.
