First one is next to the alternator coming out of the engine loom. Female 2 prong plug...i assume cold start valve?



and this one is ziptied to my upper rad hose. It seems to be a little button of sorts. No clue what it is.



Thank You,

Justin

Those both go on the throttle bracket on the pump. They are for the upshift indicator. Not sure what else they do (basically nothing)

Never actually seen one of those setups working on a diesel.
Many things we do naturally become difficult only when we try to make them intellectual subjects. It is possible to know so much about a subject that you become ignorant.

i know that on the cars with a/c, the WOT switch cut the a/c pump as well as controlling the up shift indicator.

Didn't know that bout the AC cutout, interesting.  It'd be nice on a diesel.

I thought that was only a mod that people did because let's be honest, a NA with the AC on would be at WOT all the time  ;D
