Truck almost fired tonight,,
SO close... battery just wasnt up to the task. Going to let it charge all night,, maybe the battery is pooched. I am also going to buy some ether to give it a little boost.
Just a very small amount of wiring to finish up with the data logger, and some cleaning and we will be ready to go,, any luck and I wont even have to work on it in the parking lot in mission... might even get it on the trailer under its own power

Just a puff Kevin.. A little goes a long way. Better to try a little and not fire than too much and do some damage. Can't wait to see how you make out with this truck now.

Nice going Kevin!
I'm glad you got the engine mount/turbo pipe clearance problem solved.
What is the rail pressure doing while cranking? Watch that while cranking & then watch the oil pressure after it fires!
The grid heater was my concern also but I'm sure it's gone.
