    Hello! After reading this:
    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.

    My question is simply that the 30amp fuses wouldn’t allow enough amperage to keep the engine running after having successfully warmed the injector heaters, is that correct? I am neither mechanic nor electrician. But having just purchased a 2008 GS 6372 in beautiful shape and less than 80000 miles I am trying to learn all I can about it before taking it on the road. And on more question sir, you split the circuit into 2 50amp fused circuits, could you photo that for me and email it to me? I intend to use my rig and don’t want to have get towed if I can prevent it, your 20,000+ miles since your fix is outstanding. Thanks, Lynn
