Ok here's a shot of the gpr stuff I did. Yes I know its horrible under there and needs
cleaning but I don't have a garage and the weathers crap here.
All I did was remove the wire to the pcm. The pcm provides ground on that wire to energize
the gpr. The clean looking red lug with the blue wire is the one I added after removing
the pcm's wire. The other small wire on the opposite side terminal is key switched
positive.
Then I used a bolt with 2 washers and a nut and put a lug connector on the wire I added
and joined the pcm's lug and the one I added together with the bolt and washer deal. Then
taped it up to be on the safe side. The other wire I added has a lug on it and is bolted
where the pcm wire used to be.
Then the 2 wires I added are connected to a switch inside. When the switch is off the gpr
cannot engage no matter what. When the switch is in the on position the gpr functions like
it did from the factory.
I will be adding a 3rd wire to the glow plug lead on the gpr to connect to the led spot on
the switch so the switch will light up when the glow plugs have power.
Also after doing some research on how the system works we all were partial right. I said
it runs no matter what the temp and others said it was controlled by oil temp and the baro
sensor.
It runs no matter what up to 2 full minutes depending on what the pcm reads from the oil
temp sensor. But it ALWAYS comes on even if the oil is red hot. It just doesn't stay on
long if the motor is fully warmed up.
The oil temp and the baro sensor determine how long the gpr runs which can be as little as
a few seconds if the motor is completely warm and it directly effects how long the wts
light stays on.
The computer runs the light to let you know when to start the truck, not when the glow
plugs cut off. Then it keeps the glow plugs on longer than the light to cut down on
emissions.
