Default OPS relay mod with prime cycle

It has been brought to my attention that there is a condition with the OPS relay mod I posted that can cause ECMB fuse to blow when cranking because of a backfeed to the glow plugs.

To remedy this here is a new diagram showing the factory relay and the mod relay with a diode installed to stop this condition.

Without the diode you could have a no start caused by the previous mod if installed as posted originally.

Default

Note: this is for 95 and older trucks with electric lift pump.
example of a useable but overkill diode:
