Re: Looking for 6.2 diesel nerds

If the glow plugs are dead then you will get white smoke out of the pipe (unburnt fuel). Done a lot of conversions eliminating the factory glow plug controller. Real easy to do with just a push button. Starter push button to ground the blue wire coming from the top connector of the relay. The pink wire is ign power. No need to hold the button down for more than 5-6 seconds at a time once you turn the key on. Testing the plugs--test light connected to the + side of the battery post. Touch the lamp to the spade. Lights up--good


Converting these may be a better option as getting parts for these is really difficult and having the inj pump rebuilt is a challenge in Calif as anybody who really knows how to get them correct has either moved out to another state or retired. There is a place in West Sac that seems to have a decent handle on things--cannot think of the shop name at this time. Was there about 2 years ago picking up a couple injectors after having them tested there also
