Re: diesel hose question

Autozone also has hose that is good for biodiesel. It is fuel injection hose and has a blue
lining inside it. I have been running it for three years now with no problems.

Re: glow plug light/relay

Try unplugging the thermal sensor on the front of the water neck
(drivers side of cylinder head) Blue wire I think. Glow plugs should
come on unless wire is shorted to ground. :wink:

Re: Glow plug Issues

How is your additional starter/relay wired in? If it's energized from the glow plug relay (no power wiring runs through the glow plug relay except to energize the additional unit), then I'd suspect some of the factory wiring.

vent window tensioner

Anybody know how the tensioner for the vent window comes out?
My vent windows will not stay open at 55 mph
The plastic piece that has the screw to adjust the tension has the nut on the bottom
and the screw head on the top. I would like to turn the screw around so I can adjust
it.
