Hi guys. My lead out of this problem was finally solved by splitting the battery power circuit that has fuses to 2 50 amp circuit breakers. The injector heaters are in this circuit. That's what fries the fuses. Too much amp draw. I thought I fixed this with 2 30 amp breakers, no more blown fuses but it would die 1 to 2 minutes after cold start. Once injectors were warm, circuit breakers were fine. Once my smart diesel mechanic and myself did old fashioned amp draw tests, the culprit was solved, for me at least. Even a great International dealer couldn't figure it out. That's what worked for me. 22k on the 08 Supernova, will be pulling a 30 foot trailer this year. Guess I'll find the next weak point. Still love how it drives. Hope this helps. Remember the amp draw, today's lesson. John
