Thanks to all you guys...I will take your ideas under the dash/hood tomorrow. Would have done so earlier but, being a diesel novice...well...I got a lot to learn... and since it starts without too much fuss??...don't fix it if it aint broke was what I was thinking. Hmm...could be wrong again. Thanks!!
