ISSUE
Some 6.0L equipped vehicles may exhibit a hard start or no start condition due to a glow plug control module (GPCM) connector.
ACTION

The kit contains an instruction sheet and a replacement connector with a pigtail that can be spliced into the existing harness. If no pin related concerns are present, proceed with normal diagnosis.
