And... sadly enough... my "Powerstroke" plastic engine decorator cover, one of the studs broke. I took it off because I was going to change my Fuel filter in addition to this while I was up under there. And one of the two studs gave it up. So at at some point I will have to drill that stud out and mount a new bolt there for my play pretty. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Same thing happened to me the first time I went to remove the plastic cover to get to the fuel filter. Now I just go without the plastic cover.

Finaly got a cold morning yesterday. Started right up with the NAPA GPR 109 and no plugged in.

I have always used my X monitors Tranny temp reading as a reference point to how cold the engine and metal and all is. And I had been starting without issues for years under 35 or 36 degrees. Down easily into the teens and even then second crank with a romp maybe at worst. When the starting problem developed I started having a lot of problems getting her to fire up without multilple cranks (as many as 10 or more) and even then when it finaly cranked white smoke at anything below 40 or so reading to the tranny... So I knew its was out of the ordinary and something was up.

But after install of the 109 and a I had a reading of 26 in the tranny, yesterday, it fired up first time w no smoke. So we back to normal. Definately.

Well, so far, I have replaced the MAP sensor, (weird readings at idle) and the GPR. Funny thing, no codes being set! Makes diagnosis difficult. Starting has gotten really lousy the last few days and it hasn't been that cold (20s & 30s at night). Long crank, hits on only a couple, lopes like mad, makes smoke like a earth mover! Will see what happens tomorrow. The GPR tests okay when warm, I'm thinking burnt contacts on the relay causing not enough current to the plugs. NAPA sold me a 110, wonder what's the dif between the 109 and the 110. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

easy enough question to answer....the difference is the counter clock wise 90 degree change in its mounting bracket and about 45 bucks....

I didn't even bother to test mine. Symptoms lead me to believe it was gone... and so I just changed it to the 109 (cheap enough and my old one was 5 years old) to see if that solved it before going futher. And it did solve it so I good to go.

the 99 has a diesel supplement guide along with the manual which depicts the fuel filter and how to change it.

davantcar · 01-13-2006, 02:18 PM

On the E350 the fuel filter is barely visible muchless accessable, I have Ford change it because of that. Thought they would have changed the design with newer 6.0, NOPE they just added a second fuel filter, I'm told.

This little gem of a string saved me at least $100. My truck cranked and cranked and was real slow to start on Monday. Finialy fired and smoked out the entire neighborhood. I hopped on line and found this string and figured out that it must be the GPR. Called my local blue oval dealar for a price on the relay...$130. Ouch! Called International and they said no problem we have a bucket of them at $24.75 each. Guess which one I bought!

Pulled the old one out and it was gone for sure. The hot terminal pulled of in my hand when I started to loosen the nuts. Got it off and the new one on and problem solved. The part matched exactly down to the part number stamped in the base. I couldn't beleive how bad you know who is ripping us off.

Thanks to all who suffered in the past and wrote about it here!

I second your comments about this "String", Site and most importantly the Members on this site, I am a new member, and was having the same problems, after (2) new batteries (both had less than 7amp cranking power), a GPR and an Oil change my problems went away. Thank You all for everything on here. JD

If International dealers have GPR for $25 does anyone have international part #?

thanks alot

Can the GPR's go partially bad? As in limiting the total current available? I have new battery's, and have even had them checked.Good. I get up to 3000psi HPO when cranking. Lots of smoke. When it does start all is right with the world. I have checked all my glow plugs for power at the plug, under the valve cover, and checked out good. However I have all the same symptoms as everyone else. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

You might get one that will show some voltage, but not pass enough current to get the GP's hot, but that would show up as low voltage at the large output terminal. You could try jumpering across the GPR terminals and see if it makes a difference.

GPRs aren't that expensive. When in doubt, change it out.

And that is exactly what I did. After some more testing, I found out that with no load, the old GPR worked fine. .3 ohms resistance. However under load, It opened. Weird. Anyway, I replaced the GPR and This morning life was good again. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
