Completely stumped. Will not cold start and put all new parts on it.

It’s little know fact that if you hook your
glow plugs up backwards it sucks the heat
right out of the Cylinder’s and then you
dont have to have a radiator.

While we're on the glow plugs topic, I've wondered if there was a numbering protocol or standard reference. For example, I consider the glow plug nearest me on the left side GP1 and on the opposite side GP8.

How can you connect up a glow plug backwards? Put it in the cylinder and connect one wire.

Now if you connect up the horn backwards it will suck instead of blow.

I'm sure there are a few off color jokes about that I could make in a bar over a beer regarding that statement Milcomm.

I recall somewhere reading about connecting some wires backwards causing some glowplug burnout issue, but today I'm old and pre-Alzheimers and I have forgotten to take my Aricept.

Wait, wait, I know this one.

A priest, a rabbi and a mullah drive a HMMWV to - one INTO - a bar...

Got the box, temp sensor, and a few other items from Mike @ Black Dog.

Put it all together and now the voltage at the glow plugs starts out at 24v for about 10 seconds, then drops to 4.5v for about another 15-20 seconds and shuts off.

Seems to be working OK

But does it crank now?

Yes, I only tested it a couple times since It appears my vehicle is over-charging. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the reason the start box took a crap in the first place.
