Geez.....

You made me search through a few things to find what I was looking for!

I knew that I had seen a wait to start lamp on-time in the maps and a maximum glow plug on time in the parameters but for some reason, I wasn't having any luck finding them.

It turns out that Sniper actually has something Minotaur doesn't. I've never paid attention to the OBS glow plug control since I always assumed that it worked like it does in the programming functions.....hmmmm. It works great on the SD trucks!!


Sniper lists a maximum glow plug time in the parameters menu....and it's listed at 120 seconds....the same as the SD trucks. And, even though it's totally unrelated to GP relay operation, it lists a wait to start lamp on-time....I KNOW that map works since I have used it to appease a customer that went from a base file that kept the wait to start lamp on longer (even when warm) to a TDE1 that shuts it off sooner. I had to add a second and a half to his WTS lamp time in certain temp. ranges to make him happy.

Try putting arbitrary numbers in there that center around 10 seconds max. and see if it alters the GPR time.

Might have to see what Bill says. I know the functions work on the SD truck programming.......but I have never touched the OBS ones since I assumed they were already at 30 seconds max. I guess not.
