Installing the Viper 5101 on a 2004 duramax diesel. Does this system have a direct Glow plug wire to connect to instrument cluster light? If so, is there any specific connection site on the wire? Does this system have a seperate remote for starting the vehicle, and if so, is there another system that will work with my truck that has the remote start and door lock and unlock on the same remote?

You should never use starter fluid when the glow plugs are hooked up. It can cause severe engine damage. You probably need to replace all the glow plugs and the glow plug controller.

the glow plug are used to heat the fuel on start up only, as a diesel uses compression instead of a spark (from the spark plug) have you try checking the connection on the glow plug, or changing the glow plugs themselves?

I am told the glow plugs heat up in "firing" order, also the Duramax uses a intake air heater to warm the air on cold starts.

i own three gmc trucks years 2004 2003 and all three trucks have dash problems get ready to spend 400.00-800.00 on the problem or take to a mechanic and have him wipe all codes clean will solve problem for a short while

If it cranks and won't start then it is probably your glow plug system which is used to help with starting as diesel engines have no plugs and rely on compression. It also helps to run a lighter oil in the winter so it will crank faster. You can ohm out the plugs to see if they are broken. I am not sure of the wiring on the GMC but usually diesels have several wired in parallel

The diagram is simple each glow plug is connected in a series circuit like this -0-0-0-0-0-0-0 that's a in-line 6 for a V-8 it would look like this
[-0-0-0-0
[-0-0-0-0
and the plugs would be hooked up on the back then if you follow the wire to the glow plug relay you will find that the relay has four wires one to battery one to the glow plugs one to the ignition switch and one to ground in the box. If you want you can purchase a manual for 5.99 on-line. and it covers the three fuse-able links for this system and the new Glow plugs available for this truck here is the web page. http://www.wiring-diagram.com/?gclid=CMuAvJ3Ql58CFQZfagod0jpAxQ

i need to adjust the time that it waits to start for my glow plugs in my 2001 ford excursion diesel 7.3. I need it to wait another 10 - 12 sec.

Hi,
