Good news! The old truck is up and running again. Thanks for the guidance Grancito.

It could be my imagination but the more expensive part felt sturdier out of the box.

I bought the cheaper of the two glow plug relay options from rock auto. My son commented that it felt kind of "cheap" compare to the original. I guess he was right, it broke during installation. I...

Thanks, please do send the pictures. At this moment I'm thinking that I'm too old and fat to crawl under the truck again. But I said the same thing right before I replaced the starter last time.

While I was getting the air out, I noticed something looked "off". I tugged on the wires and it turns out the glow plug controller relay is broken. I can get one from Walt for $69.99.

Thank you very much!

Thanks, I can bleed the fuel filter and I have a switch wired in the dash so I can run the pump with the key turned on.

I know this is a stupid question but where exactly are the injector nuts...

Well unfortunately brand new PMD and harness didn't help. The truck cranks but will not start. it had been running fine but it has been sitting for 2 months (couldn't get it to start). Any...

OK, thank you!

Thanks Grancito. years ago, I relocated the PMD and heat sink to the bumper hole (I will move it if I need to). I do seem to need a new pmd every 2-4 years. I did just order a new pmd and harness.

My truck won't start all of a sudden after running great for the past few years. In the past, it has always needed just a new PMD and 6 foot harness. I installed a new harness and what I thought was...

Good idea and thanks. I needed the truck and had already bought a new cable so I just went with that.

Thanks, I think the ball would have to be a lot bigger because my bushing is totally gone. I saw some youtube repair videos that used bushings bought on Amazon or Auto parts stores but they are...

That helps, thank you for looking. On the transmission end of my cable there is only a hole and I wondered what was supposed to hold the cable to the ball. The end behind the dash has some type of...

Turns out when I crawled under the truck the cable wan't broken, it just slipped off the arm/pin at the transmission end. I slipped it on and the truck changed gears fine. What can I do to keep it...

One more thing, I bought a new house, one that my wife both wanted and deserves. It is a little bit "upper-class with a snooty home-owners association" (heavy sigh) and she wants me to get rid of my...

Great, thanks!

I thought that there was a cable in the models after 1995.

My truck column shift arm moves freely but stays in park. Is it the shift cable? ? Can a non-mechanic make this repair or should I get it towed?

Older PMD replacement with new extension harness has been running fine for several weeks. I do have a new PMD and harness from Pensacola diesel ready in the truck, just in case.

Do the #9 resistors go bad?

Thanks. That reminded me, I think I have some Super Lube dielectric grease in the garage.

I have a older pmd that might still be good. I replaced it and the 6 foot extension harness before I knew that the harness could be the problem. I'm going to give it a try but I don't have a pink pad...

I replaced the Ignition switch a few years back but It has been sticking in the forward position off-and-on over the past 6-8 months.I replaced the 6-foot $25 PMD harness and it still cut off a...

It's been running well for the past 5 months, except for replacing the starter bolts after some past mechanic left off the starter brace. Then last week it cut of twice within a half mile of my...

Starting like it should. Thanks again!
