7.3 RELAY 1997
 
In the past we put 3 relays in . Someone told me to take that fancy cover off that covers fuel bowl & relay it holds too much heat. causing it to go bad.Is this true???????:Thanks:

I don't think that is the cause...

Sounds like bs to me. I took mine off because I was tired of taking it off all the time to work on it.

I cut slots in the 3 cap nuts so I could take them off with a screwdriver... Pretty fast now. How long are the relays lasting?

I also thought that might be bogus but took it off anyway. I did go through 2 in the last year.We are now putting in glow plugs .I have 226373 miles on it.:argh:

if you don't want to spend the money on the high priced gpr from napa, try a gpr109, which is the relay for an older idi, but they work just fine on the obs strokes too, and for around $25:tu:

Or get the heavy duty stancore relay
