I dont know if anyone is from around there. Might post up in the CA forum

https://www.dieselbombers.com/groups...a-bombers.html

See if there is anyone close to you.

I would check out the wire harness on top of the motor, check the UVC harness where it goes into the valve cover.

Could very well be a bad UVCH (under valve cover harness) or valve cover gaskets...

Is it possible for the california truck to havea glow plug relay instead of a glow plug control modulebecause the one under my hood I'm 95% sure its a gpr not a gpcm or could it have both?

Its round about inch an a half tall with 6 wires connected to it and a couple nuts holding it on sits to the left rear of the fuel filter cap

You are looking at the Intake Air Heater Relay... Just behind it is the GPCM...

I dont have a picture of it right now, but its is a box about 2"x3" and mounts next to the passanger valve cover right behind the relay your looking at. It has a Black plug and a Green plug.

See this picture...

There are two relays there, you should have one, and a GPCM...




Dont mind the arrow, it was for something else.
