bump for Nick


current issues
exhaust rattle / temp fix of failure before cat
has had a wheel bearing hum since bought, cant find which corner, replaced loose front driver, still noise, all tight. 
hard starts below 10F, probably needs a harness.  plugs changed.
needs NY inspection


wont have time till Oct to deal with anything on it, still daily driving.

On a new relay? Must be a bad temp sensor somewhere if not. Weird.

completely bypassed and just put a 50 amp fuse and relay to the 2 wire glow plug harness.  no idea what the issue was, not worth my time to dig
