Jim Warman Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Shamelessly lifted from the monkey house... where grampyjim is once again banned but kodaman runs free. No start after glow plug relay replacement -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occasionally, my 2001 F-350 will start very hard and momentarily blow white smoke when it does start. It seems to happen more often when it is 40 degrees and below and the engine runs great once it is started and warmed. I just found the block heater last night after thinking that it did not have a cord installed so I plugged it in first thing this morning and am waiting for it to warm up now. After reading some posts, I thought it sounded like a GPR so I got a Niehoff RL51301 from Schucks as a replacement. I installed it after having to drill a new hole in fender wall as the new GPR posts are 90 degrees off and my cables wouldn't reach. Unfortunately the truck then wouldn't start at all - no starter run. Can anyone tell me which GPR posts do what and exactly what the GPR does and what all it sends power to (GPs obviously)? How bad can I screw things up by getting the wires hooked to the wrong posts? The replacement unit has two large copper posts and two small silver posts. I put the old GPR back in and the starter runs fine but the batteries are low and the truck still won't start. I am charging the batteries and letting the block heater work right now. Thanks.

LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Jim let me... Hey Dumb ass (being nice as I can) the thingie on the firewall is the starter solenoid, not the GPR which is located on top of the engine, but be careful there are 2 of them one of which is the Air intake heater relay. but shhss don't tell him they look alike he will probably put a Starter solenoid in place of either and relay be fucked up!! Don't forget about his silly ass questions. We all have to answer him with care and consideration (Sarcasym). Makes you really want to have a drink doesn't it Jim. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/drinkingdude.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
