What's better: controlling the glow plugs manually or stock?

[fullsizeBlazer]

Hey,

another wiring question:

as I got a fancy nos harness I am able to rewire my truck completely new, so new switches and relays and stuff but I do not quite know if I just should go
and get me a manual gp setup.

I already installed a set of new 60Gs and really think about keeping it simple & operate the glow plugs manually!

PS as far as I got it I just have to override the stock glow plug relay but I'm not quite sure yet?

Thanks again and greetings

Florian

While your mileage may vary this is my opinion,

As long as your truck is converted or using the late model Glow Plug Controller, I personally would keep the factory system in place with a manual override for extended glow times, This can be done several ways but the unless you completely remove the glow plug controller and use a starter solenoid a manual only system is going to be no more reliable then the factory system and it is one more thing you have to do to start the truck.

Hey Chevytuff,

thanks a lot for your help. I already made a plan how I'm gonna do it:

I'm gonna keep the stock setup and add a manual gp override to be safe in case the stock setup fails someday ;) & to prevent bad starting in very cold weather

Thanks again and greetings
