Ya! The "in a pinch" moments with a T-rex hot on your tail can really save your lunch

I drove a 6.2L Diesel GMC Sierra in high school. On cold bitter winter after class the ole glow controller took a dump on me and she wouldnt start at all, not even a hiccup. So i busted out the McGuyver skills, dug behing the seat and grabbed an cigarette lighter power cord for a radar detector. I clipped the ends off somhow, stripped the ends with my teeth, unclipped a GP connector, jammed the wires in it an clipped it back on the GP. I then procceded to (wearing a glove) touch the wires to the batt. positive post untill the insulation was nearly on fire and ran inside and hit the key! After a few times of this, she fired and i drove my frozen butt home!

I made me a nice push button manual glow control VS. gettin cornholed for a new controller

Sorry for the OT

Hope you find what your after Glad i could help

Skippy~ As for perception: Drive what you like and can afford. Those who don't like it can supply vacuum to one of your components. LOL

If you need parts, I have some!
