Thanks for the torque spec and I know the boom spray is a no-no but the truck had to start that morning. I don't recommend it to anyone and I hate doing it but I have done it a few times with no explosions yet... but I don't like pushing my luck.

Again I know it is a no no, but the truck HAD to start. The good news is, it looks like it is just the relay. Was putting out a whomping 3 volts to the GPs so I got stancor on the way.

No but when I buy a truck, I throw the 90 bucks and just do them for piece of mind. That way I KNOW they are new and not factory gp's... simply for assurance...
