ford 3500 glow plug question

[Treebob38]

I just bought a ford 3500. Have a question about the cold start system. It appears to have a glow plug and injector on the intake. Its not hooked up. Does anyone know how this supposed to work and if it is worth the effort to reconnect it.
Thanks!

Check your inj pump leak off line to see if it goes to a resv before tank return

Not to sound stupid but what do you mean by resv?

I don't know if the 3500 is like my older 861 Ford, but that is the diagram I went by to rewire mine. Mine was missing the relay and the push button switch when I bought it. Luckily the heaters worked OK after rewiring.

Great! Thanks guys! As soon as I get the old girl here I'll be able to get.a.closer look.
Hopefully I'll be able to ask better questions.

I have one of these. It has a thermostart heater in the intake manifold. Mine was disconnected when I acquired it. I connected it up, and it did fine for a while. However, one time it stuck on and burned up the insulation near the connector. I figured that's why the previous owner disconnected it. I suspect a bad ignition switch. You should download an owner's manual from the CNH website.

Will do! Thanks!
