Sure Jon, it's always helpful when we can engage in positive discussions with knowledgeable people with similar interests. Thanks for that.
If you or anyone else, have the interest and time, check out my thread that I linked to on heavyequipment in my last post. I detailed what I've done thus far and the machine starts and runs very well. Except for the new coolant leak
I did consider the Power Stroke glow plug upgrade but once I bench tested all the ones I had and they were all good I saw no reason.
The biggest improvement in starting came after I installed the boost pump in the fuel system.
This machine is a blast to operate and the sound of that 282 reminds me of Grandfather on the farm when I was a kid in Montgomery County.
And... the Dark One would be very proud of me as I definitely got it for a Lew price!
