6.5TD motorhome starting problem

[MrMarty51]

I removed the side terminal cables from my 2000 K3500. Took them over to NAPA and the parts counter person worked to put me together a set of top post terminal cables.
I believe it was about $175.00 for the complete positive cable system.

It sure makes a difference letting all those amps through the bigger wire. I’m always surprised somehow. Haha

Will L. and everybody: I sent my old injectors to Oregon Fuel Injection, Inc. . (celebrating their 50th year in business). to have them rebuilt. See attached picture of the rebuilt injectors. The company stated the flow rate opening pressure is: 2175....with 2% spread max.

dbrannon79 and everybody: I have done the check you asked for starting at a fully charged new stand alone 12volt battery at 12.80 volts. I removed glow plug wire from glow plug relay (controller). Then removed all 8 glow plug wires. Checked voltage on each wire on driver's side....all read 12.79 volts. Check same on passenger side .... they read 12.41 volts.

Remember when I turn the key on using motorhome battery- at around 12.57 volts....the draw down is about 10.57 volts. and after glow plug light goes out...the starter motor turns over just fine.
Looks like glow plug wires going south on the passenger side- "going South"?
What do you all think?

Be good to install new GP harness.
Injectors looks good, nice socket too.

2% @ 2175 is a good set up.
I don’t see pics of the glow wires you mentioned

Cranking rpm still needed
So is fuel pressure at the ip instead of ffm

If you are content with the start time by cycling the key 3 times - then run with it.
Otherwise there is things that could be done but will cost some $$
