Congrats on the new truck Bob!

I have removed the Automatic glow plug circuit on my 86 K30 and fitted a manual glow control system.

I used a starter solenoid for a 351 Ford out of a pick-up and modified it to mount onto the same studs as the existing glow plug controller module.

Then I installed a momentary push button in the dash so that i can actuate the starter solenoid.

I also installed a fresh set of AC Delco 60G glowplugs.

These plugs take 12-20 seconds to heat up but make the starts so easy.

This one should help as well. Couldn't find this one yesterday. His wiring diagrams have the errors in the Army TM manuals corrected.
