How about your driveshaft flexible couplings?

My flex discs have probably been changed. They look fairly new.

Have you purged your diesel? I was thinking of doing mine.

So it resets itself when you turn key back on? Glow plugs come in friday at 3:00, I am ready to go.

Yes,supposedly automatic reset(if the "short" has been repaired)...When you
cycle the key back to position "O".

Pmari had posted this information back on post #60.
(I was too involved to be cognizant of it then.)

I'm such a "Spooky" old fussbudget...I'm gonna get a inline fuse holder like
you see in picture at the bottom.and "Fuse" the RED/HOT cable to term 30.
'Cannot do any harm(other than minimal loss due to connections) and will
protect that $120.00 Glow Relay.

Although one could make an excellent case that the Automatic dis-connect
has functioned perfectly for 18 years. (or there have been no shorts that
were quicker than the relays ability to sense them and dis-connect.)

I'll just be glad to get mine running again.

Part # 80078

Permatex 1-87permatex (ask for their technical advice line)

No harm to Aluminum heads.

I will put some on, is it ok to spray them with wd 40 and let it soak all night? I am not going to do any work tonight, too cold. I will do it tomorrow.

There are better penetrating catalysts. PB Blaster comes to mind.

Well guys after 2 hours of work, she is running again. I broke the electric connection on the #4 glow plug, so I only have 4 new glow plugs in but ordered one more. Will be in tuesday. Thanks for all the help. The glow plug light did not come on when I turned the key. But it started right up, then the glow plug light came on. Why?

I would say because of #4 not working.

That is what I was thinking too, I guess I will see when I get #5 glow plug replaced.

Did you get them all without having to remove anything?
