I'll try the block heater today.

Mr. Burton, I spoke to you on the phone the other day. I live in Madison.

thanks

I remember, didn't know if you'd moved it from Deep River. A larger hose (size of your finger) is the wastegate supply. Smaller hose may be to EGR system. If you need help checking the glowplugs with a meter, let me know.
