As many of you know, my 1985 F250 has been an ether baby ever since I purchased the truck, it's been getting glow plugs in a can multiple times a day for the last 4 years, when I started uploading short videos most mornings I would start the day with a cold start on the old truck with ether, well well, a lot of fellas seem to be convinced that once you start using ether your diesel engine is now "addicted" to it and will never start without it, I've had enough people commenting that so I figure what better way to prove them wrong than to retrofit a 7.3 idi glow plug controller into the old 6.9 idi, proving that even though ether was used with this engine, the engine is not addicted to the substance.
The 7.3 glow plug controller is a much more reliable system than that of the 6.9, fails less, and won't burn out your plugs when it stops working.
In this video I go in depth and build a custom harness for the glow plugs, change the plugs themselves, as well as instal the glow plug controller.
